WHILE PULLING AWAY FROM A PARKED POSITION IN OUR DRIVEWAY, THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT COIL SPRING BROKE. THE REMAINING LARGER PORTION OF THE SPRING WAS NOW RUBBING AGAINST THE INSIDE WALL OF THE FR TIRE. THE JAGGED EDGE WAS CLOSER TO THE ENGINE SIDE, FORTUNATELY. THE SMALLER BROKEN PIECE WAS ON THE GROUND, SHAPED LIKE A HALF CIRCLE. THERE WAS NO RUST ON EITHER SPRING PIECE. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
THE DOOR HANDLE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF MY 2007 NISSAN VERSA CAME OFF IN TO MY HAND WHEN I WENT TO OPEN THE CAR DOOR. THIS CAR HAS 38,807 MILES ON IT.YOU CAN NOT OPEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE AND ARE REDUCED TO CRAWLING IN OVER THE GEAR SHIFT FROM THE PASSENGERS SIDE TO GET IN TO THE DRIVER'S SEAT. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE DRIVER'S DOOR CAN NOT BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY OR AN ACCIDENT.. ODDLY ENOUGH I SAW A GIRL IN A SHOPPING CENTER YESTERDAY. THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE WAS MISSING FROM HER CARE WHICH IS JUST LIKE MINE AND I STOPPED TO TALK WITH HER.. OUR LOCAL DEALER QUOTED PRICES OF SEVERAL HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS.TO REPAIR MY CAR AS WELL AS HER CAR I FEEL THAT THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A RECALL. THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME RECALLS ON OTHER NISSAN'S LIKE THE ROGUE THAT HAVE A RECALL FOR THE DOOR HANDLE FALLING OFF AND ONLY "SERVICE ADVISORIES" ON OTHERS. I WILL NEVER BY A NISSAN AGAIN. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. IF YOU GOOGLE THIS PROBLEM ON THIS CAR THERE ARE A LOT OF POSTINGS FROM PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM ON THIS SAME CAR. *TR

SUSPENSION, STEERING
POPPING NOISE HEARD IN SUSPENSION AND FELT IN STEERING COLUMN DURING LEFT AND RIGHT TURNS AT SLOW SPEEDS. PER NISSAN DEALERSHIP ITS BECAUSE OF A DEFECTIVE UPPER STRUT BEARING, PER THE TSB'S AND COMPLAINTS LISTED IT COULD RANGE FROM A NUMBER OF ISSUES INCLUDING THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT AND LINKAGE. THE SUSPENSION ON THIS VEHICLE HAS SOME SERIOUS ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

SUSPENSION
MY HUSBAND WAS BACKING OUT OF THE GARAGE AND A PIECE OF THE SUSPENSION COIL (DRIVER SIDE FRONT) FELL OFF FOR NO REASON. MY FOUR YEAR OLD TWINS WERE IN THE BACK IN THEIR CAR SEATS. WE ARE CURRENTLY TOWING IT TO GET IT FIXED. WE CALLED A DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID ONLY CERTAIN VEHICLES FROM THAT TIME PERIOD ARE COVERED FOR THIS DEFECT. THERE IS A NATIONAL TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ABOUT IT. OUR CAR IS NOT COVERED (DETERMINED BY DEALERSHIP BY VIN). I WOULD HATE TO THINK WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF MY FAMILY WAS NOT IN THE DRIVEWAY BUT INSTEAD DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THIS HAPPENED. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
LOST ALL POWER TO VEHICLE WHILE TRAVELING DOWN EXPRESSWAY AT POSTED RATE OF SPEED (65 MPH). NO POWER BUT ALL ELECTRICAL WORKING. ALMOST CAUSED A HORRIFIC ACCIDENT AS I TRIED TO MOVE FROM THE CENTER LANE TO THE ROAD SHOULDER. IT TOOK ABOUT 20 TRIES TO RESTART THE CAR AFTER 45 MINUTES ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, BUT THE CAR DID START. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS STARTING THE CAR INTERMITENTLY. FINALLY TOOK IT IN TO A SHOP AND TOLD THEM MY HISTORY OF FUEL PROBLEM. THEY IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AND TOLD ME ABOUT ALL THE INFO ON THE NET ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND NISSAN NOT RECALLING. MANY REFERENCES TO MOVING VEHICLE FAILURE. COST OF THEW FUEL PUMP IS NEAR $1000. I THINK THIS IS WHY NISSAN IS NOT RECALLING. BUT SOMEONE WILL BE HURT OR KILLED FROM THIS NEGLECT. DID THE RESEARCH ON THIS AND FOUND THAT THE FUEL PUMP ON THIS AND OTHER NISSANS HAVE FAILED SINCE DAY ONE. TOO MUCH INFORMATION ON THIS ON MESSAGE BOARDS. NISSAN ISSUED A TSB BUT IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT THE PROTECTING THE DRIVER, PASSENGERS, OR THE DRIVING PUBLIC FROM THIS FAILURE THAT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY SPEED. *TR

TIRES
SOON AFTER OUR PURCHASE, 6/07, THE LIGHT CAME ON, ITS BEEN BACK TO MANY DIFFERENT DEALERS OVER A DOZEN TIMES,,.IT CANNOT BE DISCONNECTED, DISENGAGED. REPROGRAMMING IS ONE OPTION, REPLACING AT $150/VISIT PER WHEEL IS THE OTHER OPTION. WE HAVE HAD BOTH ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. OUR PROBLEM IS, THAT THE SENSOR WHEN IT FAILS, TELLS THE TIRE TO REDUCE PRESSURE. A PERFECTLY GOOD TIRE FILLED WITH 37 PSI WILL IN 24 HOURS COME DOWN TO 20 PSI... THIS IS A DISASTER AND I AM SURPRISED THERE HAS BEEN NO CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS... I HAVE SPENT TIME AND MONEY, REPLACED TIRES TO PROVE THE POINT, AND AFTER ALMOST 6 YEARS AM READY TO GIVE UP... SOMETHING SO SIMPLE AND STUPID CANNOT BE FIXED OR REMOVED.. NISSAN DEALERS BLAME IT ON POT HOLES, CORROSION, OR BAD MANUFACTURED TIRES. AMERICAN ROADS ARE FILLED WITH THESE PERILS AND THE SYSTEM DESIGNED BY NISSAN IS A FAILURE BECAUSE IT CANNOT STAND UP... I OWN 9 OTHER VEHICLES MADE AFTER 2007 AND NOT OF THE OTHERS HAVE HAD ANY PROBLEMS LIKE THIS.. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I WAS TRAVELING WHEN LOSS OF ENGINE POWER OCCURRED. THERE WAS NO SOUND OR OTHER INDICATION OF ENGINE PROBLEMS ASIDE FROM INABILITY TO ACCELERATE. WAS ABLE TO PULL VEHICLE OVER TO THE SHOULDER WHERE THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER AGAIN. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO LOCAL DEALER WHERE I WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP AND THAT THE PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER. IN ADDITION, WHILE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE SINCE 2007, THERE HAS BEEN NO VOLUNTARY RECALL DESPITE MANY OTHER INCIDENTS (AS PER INTERNET SEARCH) OF OTHER VEHICLES LOSING POWER WHILE IN MOTION. THE INITIAL SYMPTOMS INCLUDE AN INABILITY TO START UPON INITIAL TURNOVER WHEREIN THE ISSUE PROGRESSES TOWARDS TOTAL FUEL PUMP FAILURE. I DID EXPERIENCE THE ISSUE WHERE THE ENGINE WOULD TAKE A SECOND OR THIRD TRY TO TURN OVER BUT HAD ATTRIBUTED IT TO THE STARTER. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
THE MUFFLER SOUND SEEMED QUITE LOUD ON THURSDAY, 12/27/12, SOMETHING I HAD NOT NOTICED BEFORE. THE NEXT DAY FRIDAY, 12/28/12, THE MUFFLER STARTED RATTLING VERY LOUDLY. I CALLED TO MAKE AN APPT FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2007 VERSAS. I HAVE AN ESTIMATE OF $400 TO FIX THIS. I'VE HAVE OWNED OTHER MAKES OF VEHICLES FOR OVER 12 YEARS THAT NEVER HAVE NEEDED A MUFFLER. NOW THAT I'VE INVESTIGATED, THERE ARE MANY REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE, ALL SEEMED TO REPORT A POOR DESIGN. THE CAR HAS BEEN GARAGED FOR THE ENTIRE 6YEARS THAT I'VE OWNED IT AND THE BODY IS ACTUALLY SHOWING RUST THAT THE DEALER SAID NISSAN WOULD FIX. NISSAN REFUSED SAYING THE CAR IS 6 YEARS OLD. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
DASH BUTTON FOR REAR DEFROSTER DOESN'T WORK AT ALL AND A/C BUTTON IS WORKING ONLY WHEN PRESSING IT FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME OR IF YOU APPLY EXTREME PRESSURE AND WIGGLE THE BUTTON. DURING A RAINY PERIOD THIS IS CAUSING A HAZARD BECAUSE ONE CANNOT SEE CLEARLY DUE TO THE FOGGING OF FRONT AND REAR WINDOWS. *TR

STEERING
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL IT MADE A CLUNKING NOISE THAT SOUNDED AS METAL RUBBING AGAINST METAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE FAILURE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE TIRES WHEELS SPACER; HOWEVER THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSE THAT THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 61,511.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
I REPLACED THE MUFFLER AND GASKET ON MY 2007 NISSAN VERSA ON SEPTEMBER 21, 2012 THE POOR QUALITY OF THE MATERIALS THAT NISSAN USED FOR THE FLANGE BECAME BRITTLE AND CRACKED, COMPROMISING THE STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL INTEGRITY OF THE MUFFLER AT APPROXIMATELY 62,600 MILES. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND TAKE IMPECCABLE CARE OF THIS VEHICLE AND ALL MY VEHICLES. IF THIS SAFETY/EXHAUST/EMISSION PROBLEM HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED, IT MAY HAVE CAUSED INJURY (MINOR, MAJOR, AND MAYBE FATAL) TO DRIVER AND PASSENGERS IN THE VERSA AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS/PASSENGERS OF OTHER VEHICLES. THIS ISSUE SHOULD NOT HAPPEN IN THIS MAKE/MODEL/YEAR WITH LOW TO MODERATE MILEAGE OR ANY MAKE/MODEL/YEAR OF CAR SINCE MUFFLERS AND ASSOCIATED PARTS HAVE LONG BEEN PERFECTED. *TR

ENGINE
MY 2007 NISSAN VERSA IS HAVING ISSUES STARTING, I'VE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP A FEW TIMES TO GET FIXED AND IM BEING TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THOSE ONLY HAPPENS OCCASIONALLY, WHEN I TRY TO START IT JUST CONSTANTLY CRANKS FOR A FEW SECOND... IT WILL DO THIS A FEW TIMES BEFORE IT ACTUALLY DOES CRANK. *TR

STEERING
VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY STARTING MAKING THUMPING SOUND AND RESISTANCE SQUEAKING WHEN TURNING RIGHT AT 28K MILES. WOULD ONLY DO SO WHEN WARMED UP. AT APPROXIMATELY 36K BECAME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. FEAR THERE WILL BE A NEAR FUTURE STEERING LOSS DUE TO DEFECTIVE STEERING IN THIS VEHICLE. EXPECT PROBLEM WITH STEERING ASSEMBLY. PURCHASED CAR NEW IN 2009 FROM ANOTHER NISSAN DEALER. LOCAL NISSAN SERVICE OILED ON 3 AUG 12. WORKED FOR A FEW DAYS AND NOW IS MUCH WORSE. NISSAN NORTH AMERICA GAVE CLAIM NUMBER, BUT WILL NOT PROVIDE ASSISTANCE. I READ ONLINE THIS IS LIKELY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND SHOULD BE A FULL RECALL. LOCAL NISSAN DEALER CLAIMS THEY ARE NOT AWARE AND TOLD ME I WOULD BE REQUIRED TO PAY $400 OR MORE TO FIX. CAR RECENTLY WENT OUT OF WARRANTY AT 36K AND ISSUE WAS KNOWN PRIOR TO EXPIRATION AND REPORTED. NISSAN DEALERS ARE INDEPENDENT AND OBVIOUSLY NOT HELD TO A CORPORATE SERVICE STANDARD, OR THEY WOULD OF FIXED IT BY NOW. I HAVE READ THAT THIS ISSUE HAS LED TO VARIOUS CRASHED WITH THE SAME MAKE/MODEL AND YEAR OF CAR. *TR

AS PER NISSAN TECHNICAL BULLETIN THE FUEL REGULATOR WAS REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM OCCURRED THE NEXT DAY AND HAS CONTINUED TO DO SO. THE DEALER HAS NO IDEA WHAT THE CAUSE IS. *TR
