TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
THIS IS MY FIRST NEW CAR I HAVE EVER OWN AND HAVE PUT MORE MONEY INTO IT THEN ANY OF MY OLD CARS. ABOUT A MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT IT IN APRIL OF 2010 I IMMEDIATELY HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TIRES AND HUBCAPS. ONE OF MY HUBCAPS FELL OFF AND I HAD TO REPLACE IT. IT FELL OFF DUE TO A CLIP THAT WAS INITIALLY MISSING ON IT WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT IT. FOLLOWING THAT CAME MY TIRE PROBLEMS. FOR THE PAST 7 MONTHS I HAVE DEALT WITH TIRE PRESSURE PROBLEMS. AS A MATTER OF FACT I HAVE BEEN GETTING MY TIRES REFILLED ABOUT TWO TIMES A WEEK. FINALLY I DECIDED TO HAVE THEM RESEALED(COST 27$ A TIRE) AND AS THEY WERE DOING THAT THEY FOUND THAT MY TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR INSIDE THE TIRE WAS CORRODED. THEREFORE I HAD TO SPEND 97$ AND HAVE THEM REPLACE THIS BECAUSE IT WAS BEYOND SAVING. TWO DAYS LATER I ENDED UP BACK AT THE TIRE PLACE FOR THEM TO TELL ME THAT I NEED TO REPLACE MORE SENSORS. IM VERY UNHAPPY ABOUT MY NEW CAR, IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN I WAS GOING TO HAVE SO MANY ISSUES WITH THE TIRES I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT A DIFFERENT BRAND. I DIDN'T BUY A NEW CAR TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH IT, THIS WAS THE PROBLEMS I WAS TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM!! *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
HAVE HAD PROBLEMS STARTING 2009 NISSAN VERSA, PROBLEM BEGINS WITH LONG STARTS, CAR TURNS OVER 6 OR MORE REVOLUTIONS BEFORE STARTING, THEN LEADS LATER TO THE CAR TURNING OVER AND NOT STARTING AT ALL. DEALER REPLACED THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR THE FIRST TIME, FUEL PUMP THE SECOND TIME AND NOW THEY STATE THEY ARE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE WITH NO CORRECTIVE ACTION BEING DONE THE VEHICLE. IF CAR IS ABLE TO BE STARTED IT RUNS VERY CHOPPY, DEALER INSISTED IT WAS A COMPRESSION PROBLEM, BUT NOW CLAIMS THERE SHOULD NOT BE A CONTINUING PROBLEM. FIRST ISSUE WAS AT 8440 MILES, SECOND AND THIRD AT 14,959 MILES. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL, INTERIOR LIGHTING
DIFFICULTY READING SPEEDOMETER) I HAVE A 2009 NISSAN VERSA HATCHBACK. THIS SAFETY COMPLAINT IS BASED ON THE FACT THAT THE QUADRANT ( ZERO TO 40 MILES) CANNOT BE READ DURING MOST DAYLIGHT HOURS. THE BACKLIGHT PROVIDES A CONTRAST SUFFICIENT TO READ THE SPEEDOMETER ONLY DURING EVENING AND LOW LIGHT PERIODS. IT APPEARS THIS IS A DESIGN PROBLEM BECAUSE THE SPEEDOMETER FACE IS SET SO FAR BACK THAT IS IT DEPRIVED OF NATURAL LIGHT AND/OR THE BACK LIGHT IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO CREATE A CONTRAST. THE QUADRANT (70 TO 100 MPH) RECEIVES SUFFICIENT LIGHT TO BE READ, BUT I NEVER DRIVE OVER 60 MPH. THIS IS INDEED A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IN STRICT SPEED ZONES, ESPECIALLY SCHOOLS THAT USE CAMERA ENFORCEMENT, I AM FORCED TO DRIVE WITH ONE HAND ON THE WHEEL AND THE RIGHT HAND HOLDING A FLASH LIGHT. I MADE A COMPLAINT TO NISSAN AND THEY ADVISED THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING TO CORRECT THE SITUATION. I STRESS THIS DESIGN FLAW ON THE PART OF NISSAN IS A HAZARD TO SAFE DRIVING. *TR

TIRES, TIRES:SIDEWALL
MY 2010 NISSAN VERSA, WITH LESS THAN 10,000 MILES ON IT, HAS STEEL BELTS POPPING OUT THE SIDEWALLS OF THE CONTINENTAL CONTIPRO CONTACT P195/55 R16 TIRES. BOTH FRONT TIRES HAVE BELTS POPPING OUT. THE DEALER (EMPIRE NISSAN) HAS NOT OFFERED AN ACCEPTABLE SOLUTION. THE TIRES ARE SUPPOSEDLY 60,000 MILE TIRES, BUT THE DEALER, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE MANUFACTURER, IS ONLY OFFERING 25% OFF LIST PRICE TO REPLACE WITH ANOTHER SET OF CONTINENTAL (CRAP) TIRES. THERE HAS NOT YET BEEN AN ACCIDENT, BUT I AM UNCERTAIN OF HOW DANGEROUS THIS CONDITION IS. I JUST NOTICED THE PROBLEM 4 DAYS AGO. I HAVE PHOTOS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK TAKING SAME ROUTE AS I'VE DONE FOR THREE YEARS. IT WAS MY FIRST TIME DRIVING A RECENTLY PURCHASED 2007 NISSAN VERSA HATCHBACK. I MOVED INTO THE TURN LANE AND APPLIED BRAKES TO TURN A 90 DEGREE CORNER. THE BRAKES FAILED. I HAD TURNED THE WHEEL ANTICIPATING A NORMAL TURN HOWEVER THE CAR KEPT MOVING STRAIGHT AHEAD. THE CAR JUMPED A CONCRETE ISLAND AND CAME TO REST. I KNEW IMMEDIATELY THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE DRIVER SIDE ALTHOUGH THE DAMAGE WAS UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO AN AUTO REPAIR FACILITY APPROX ONE HUNDRED YARDS FROM THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT. POLICE CAME BUT NO CITATION WAS ISSUED. DAMAGE INCLUDES A BROKEN FRONT AXLE, DAMAGE TO SUSPENSION, WHEEL ETC. I CONTACTED NISSAN TO DETERMINE IF MY VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE FAULTY BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR CAP RECALL. NISSAN STATES IT IS NOT. THE BRAKES FAILED AND THERE'S NO EXPLANATION. *TR
