VISIBILITY
I OWN A 2007 NISSAN VERSA 4DR SEDAN. THE WINDSHIELD HAS DEVELOPED A CRACK AND THERE APPEARS TO BE NO ROAD HAZARD INVOLVED. AFTER DOING AN ONLINE SEARCH I HAVE FOUND MANY OTHERS REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS CAN BE FOUND AT: HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/DIRECT/VIEW/.F154CCB THE DEALERSHIP IS TRYING TO DENY MY WARRANTY BECAUSE OF A TINY FLAKE MISSING IN THE CRACK THAT THEY SAY IS WHAT CAUSED IT. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
BOUGHT THE CAR IN DECEMBER OF 2007. THIS IS A 2007 NISSAN VERSA AND HAVE BEEN GETTING ONLY ABOUT 22 TO 24 MILES PER GALLON IN TOWN. STICKER SAYS THE CAR GETS 30 MILES PER GALLON IN TOWN. I HAVE NEVER GOTTEN CLOSE TO THAT. TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THE AIR INTAKE TEMP WAS 165 DEGREES AND THEY REPLACED THE SENSOR. GAS MILEAGE IS STILL NOT WHAT IT SHOULD BE. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION:FRONT
MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP REPEATEDLY FOR THE FRONT END "POPPING" WHEN TURNING RIGHT. THE RIGHT STRUT AND BUSHING, RACK AND PINION, AND SWAY BAR HAS BEEN REPLACED. THIS VEHICLE STILL HAS A QUICK "POP" WHICH CAN BE FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN INITIALLY TURNING RIGHT. I FEAR SOMETHING MAY FAIL WHEN DRIVING AND LOSS OF CONTROL MAY OCCUR. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT EVEN NISSAN CANNOT SEEM TO FIX. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO NISSAN ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND AS YOU CAN SEE THEY HAVE REPLACED NUMEROUS PARTS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. *TR

THE TPMS LIGHT COMES ON THOUGH TIRES ARE PROPERLY INFLATED. MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS FOR RESET DO NOT WORK. I'VE HAD IT TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR THIS PROBLEM. THEY RESET IT, AFTER IMPLYING THAT AFTER 40+ YEARS OF DRIVING, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO INFLATE A TIRE. AFTER AWHILE IT COMES ON AGAIN. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY SPECIFIC COMPLAINT IS FALSE ADVERTISING. WHEN I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE NISSAN ADVERTISED THE VEHICLE A VERSA WITH CVT TRANS AS GETTING 30/36 MPG. MY VEHICLE HAS NEVER GOTTEN ANYWHERE NEAR THESE FIGURES. MY LAST FILL UP, MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES WAS 22 MPG. THE SERVICE DEPT. STATES EVERYTHING IS RUNNING CORRECTLY IN THE ENGINE. IT IS FUNNY BUT NOW THE SERVICE DEPT TELLS ME THE MPG IS 28/33 NOT 30/36. I BOUGHT A CAR THAT I THOUGHT WAS GOING TO HAVE GOOD FUEL ECONOMY AND IT IS NOT MUCH BETTER THAN MY SUV. *TR

STEERING:COLUMN
A CLIP BROKE ON A UNIVERSAL JOINT ON MY WIFE'S 2007 NISSAN VERSA. GRENADA NISSAN OF GRENADA< MS SAID THAT IT WAS A RETAINER CLIP, AND THAT THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN HAD TO BE REPLACED...THIS WAS IN FEBRUARY, WITH LITTLE MORE THAN 800 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. IN NOVEMBER, THE CLIP BROKE ONCE AGAIN. MY WIFE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CANNON NISSAN IN GREENWOOD MS, WHERE THEY TOLD HER THAT IT WAS A "MANUFACTURER'S" CLIP, THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BREAK OFF! NOW, ONE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING US THAT A BOLT WILL BACK OFF WITHOUT THIS CLIP, WHILE THE OTHER DEALERSHIP IS SAYING THAT THIS CLIP IS NOT NEEDED! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:RADIO/TAPE DECK/CD ETC.
I HAD PURCHASED A NEW 2007 VERSA FROM STAR NISSAN ON 9/22/07. A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER, I FOUND OUT THE CD PLAYER WAS NON-FUNCTIONAL. A DAY OR TWO LATER, I REALIZED I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING THE CAR. ON 9/26, I BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. I WAS TOLD ON 9/27 THAT IT HAD A FAULTY FUEL PUMP AND THAT THE PART THEY NEEDED WON'T BE AVAILABLE UNTIL 10/10/07. OBVIOUSLY, IT IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR ME TO BE WITHOUT MY BRAND NEW CAR FOR A WEEK AND A HALF. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
THREE WEEKS AGO, I PURCHASED A NEW 2007 NISSAN VERSA. SINCE MAKING THE PURCHASE, I HAVE HAD PERIODIC PROBLEMS WITH STARTING THE VEHICLE. WHEN I TURN THE KEY, THE VEHICLE FREQUENTLY CRANKS FOR 5+ SECONDS. SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WILL THEN START, AND SOMETIMES IT WILL JUST DIE. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME THAT I START THE VEHICLE, AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DETECT ANY PATTERN TO HELP INDICATE WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR SERVICE SO FAR, AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO SOLVE OR EVEN IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND VARIOUS ACCOUNTS OF OTHER VERSA OWNERS DETAILING SIMILAR EXPERIENCES. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I JUST BOUGHT A NISSAN VERSA 2007 SIX MONTHS AGO AND TODAY WHEN I WAS COMING FROM LUNCH AND WAS IN THE PARKING LOT TRYING TO PARK AND WAS DRIVING AT THE SPEED OF 6 MPH. I TRIED TO BRAKE , BUT THE BRAKES DID NOT RESPONSED AND I HIT THE CAR IN THE FRONT. I AM COMPLETELY SHAKEN UP ABOUT THE INCIDENT, IT COULD HAVE BEEN THE FREEWAY OR A RED LIGHT, I WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD. I WILL NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE TO BUY THIS CAR. *JB
