SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
2007 NISSAN VERSA LOST CONTROL . WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE STARTED SWERVING FOR NO SUDDENT RESON, AND WHEN IT STARTED I TRIED TO CONTROL THE CAR, BUT DID NOT WORK AND LOST CONTOLL AND SPIND ME OUT AND CRAHED TO GUARD REAIL ON MY RIGHT SIDE . FRONT AND BACK BUMPER CORNERS, SIDE PANEL, RIGHT SIDE OF TRUNK DO NNOT CLOSE. PASSENGER DOOR DOESN'T OPEN, AND SOMETHING UNDERNEATH THE BACK OF CAR.I LOOKED AT THE MANUFACTURER'S RECALL AND SEEN THE BRAKE HYDRAULIC RECAL.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
BRAKES SEEMED LATENT IN COLLISION, HAD TO PUMP BRAKES ON NEW CAR TO AVOID ACCIDENT, 3 TIMES. BRAKES SUFFICIENTLY LOCKED, BUT TOO LATE TO AVOID COLLISION. SKID MARKS FROM 120 FEET AT 50 MPH IMPACTED VEHICLE AT 35 MPH. DRY CONDITIONS SUNNY DAY. 65 FAHRENHEIT. I BELIEVE THE BRAKES ON THIS VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN SUFFICIENT AND WORKED PROPERLY TO AVOID COLLISION. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM PRIOR TO OWNING A VEHICLE MADE BY NISSAN. THIS WAS THE FIRST AND LAST VEHICLE BY NISSAN I WILL DRIVE.*AK

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
PURCHASED A 2007 NISSAN VERSA SEDAN IN JAN 2007. THREE WEEKS LATER THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON. SUBSEQUENTLY WHILE TRYING TO PUMP GAS INTO THE CAR THE GASOLINE OVERFLOWED OUT THE FILLER NECK. CAR ONLY HAD 1/4 TANK OF GAS AND WE COULD NOT PUT ANY MORE GAS INTO THE TANK. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY TOLD US THAT THE VENT CONTROL CANISTER, HOSES AND DRAIN WERE FROZEN SOLID. TECHNICIAN QUESTIONED WHETHER THIS WAS A DESIGN FLAW. STILL WAITING TO HEAR FROM MANUFACTURER. THE VALVE ASSY AND CANISTER ASSY WERE REPLACED AND THE HOSES WERE THAWED OUT AND RE-USED. PROBLEM SOLVED? WE WASHED THE CAR TWICE AT AN AUTOMATIC CAR WASH WHERE WE GOT THE UNDERBODY WASH. THE TEMPERATURE THAT WEEK WAS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS. TECHNICIAN SUGGESTED NO MORE AUTOMATIC CAR WASHES TILL MANUFACTURER DECIDES WHAT TO DO. *NM

AIR BAGS
I PURCHASED A 2007 NISSAN VERSA IN JULY OF 2006; 3 WEEKS LATER THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG COVER CAME OFF THE DASHBOARD. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER SHIP AND THEY PUSHED IT BACK IN AND ORDER A NEW ONE. THEY SAID IT WASN'T A SAFETY CONCERN. THEY NEW BACK TOOK ABOUT 2 MONTHS TO ARRIVE. THEY REPLACED IT AND A BOUT A WEEK LATER THE AIR BAG COVER CAME OFF THE DASH BOARD AGAIN. WENT BACK TO THE DEALER SHIP AND THEY KEPT IT FOR A 2 DAYS AND THEY TOLD ME THEY HAD SCREWED/ BOLTED DOWN THE AIR BAG TO THE INSIDE OF THE DASH BOARD. LAST WEEK I CALLED THEM BECAUSE THE COVER CAME OFF ONCE AGAIN AND THEY CALLED A FIELD ENGINEER TO COME TAKE A LOOK AT THE CAR, MEANWHILE THEY SAY IS SAFE TO DRIVE THE CAR LIKE IT IS RIGHT NOW. SHOULD I BE CONCERNED OF THE AIR BAG COVER EXPOSED LIKE IT IS? SENSE THIS IS THE 3RD TIME AM REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY IN CASE THE BAG DEPLOYS. *JB

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
CONTINUING PROBLEMS WITH THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM LIGHT STAYING ON DESPITE CORRECTING THE TIRE PRESSURE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH MANY NISSAN VERSA 2007 OWNERS AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER IN A RECALL. ALREADY HAD ONE TRIP TO THE DEALER FOR CORRECTION AT 3500 MILES. INCIDENT DATE SHOULD READ NOVEMBER 21, 207--LATEST INCIDENT OF TPMS LIGHT STAYING ON DESPITE CORRECTED ACTION TAKEN. *NM

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE, PER NEW NHTSA REGULATIONS, HAS FAILED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH A FAULT CONDITION DISPLAYED ON THE DASH LIGHT. NISSAN DEALER DOES NOT HAVE A PERMANENT FIX, THEY JUST "REREGISTER" THE SENSORS WHICH IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX. INITIAL FAILURE ON THIS VEHICLE OCCURRED AT 4216 MILES AND WAS "RE-REGISTERED", AND FAILED AGAIN AT APPROXIMATELY 5400 MILES. FAILURE PREVENTS TPMS SYSTEM FROM FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY - IT REPORTS AN ERROR WHEN ALL TIRES ARE OK, AND THE CONTINUOUS ERROR EFFECTIVELY DISABLES THE SYSTEM FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSE. *NM

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM, OR TPMS, ON THE 2007 NISSAN VERSA THAT I, AND MANY, MANY OTHERS OWN, KEEPS FAILING. THE TPMS LIGHT ON THE DASH WILL BLINK AND THEN STAY STEADY ON, WHICH NISSAN, IN THE MANUAL, SAYS IS A FAULT HAS OCCURRED IN THE TPMS MONITOR SYSTEM AND YOU HAVE TO TAKE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. NISSAN DEALERS HAVE NO FIX AND IT IS A CAUSE OF GREAT CONCERN. I HAVE ALREADY HAD THIS PROBLEM 'FIXED' ONCE AT 1100 MILES AND THEN PROBLEM RECURRED AT AROUND 2000 MILES. FOR A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF HOW WIDE SPREAD THIS ISSUE IS, PLEASE SEE HTTP://FORUMS.NICOCLUB.COM/ZEROTHREAD/203231 AND HTTP://FORUMS.NICOCLUB.COM/ZEROTHREAD/197348 I'VE CONTACTED NISSAN AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A DEALER PROBLEM. THE DEALER DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT AND IS WAITING ON NISSAN. MY CONCERN IS THAT MY TPMS LIGHT STAYS ON AND IT IS NOT DOING ME ANY GOOD. I HAVE NO WAY TO TELL IF A TIRE IS GOING FLAT WHILE MOVING BECAUSE THE SYSTEM IS COMPLETELY USELESS IN THE CAR. *NM
