FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I OWN A NISSAN VERSA 2009 AND I AM CONSTANTLY HAVING PROBLEMS WITH STARTING THE VEHICLE, LIKE IT IS NOT GETTING ENOUGH FUEL OR SOMETHING. ALSO, LAST WEEK I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND IT SUDDENLY WOULD NOT GO WHEN I PUSHED ON THE GAS. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND ON THE WAY THERE IT STARTED WORKING FINE, I LEFT IT AT THE DEALER ANYWAYS AND THEY KEPT IT FOR THREE DAYS AND CALLED ME UP AND SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THEREFORE THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. MY VEHICLE IS STILL HAVING PROBLEMS AND THIS TIME MY WIFE WAS TURNING A CORNER ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY AND ALMOST GOT IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD HARDLY MOVE AND THE OTHER CAR WAS GOING REALLY FAST. THE DEALER REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT UNLESS THEY CAN REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND I HAVE KIDS THAT DRIVE IN THE CAR WITH ME. THEY EVEN CHARGED ME MONEY TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE AND THERE WAS NO DIAGNOSES THEY SAID "THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE." *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
WE TOO HAD A PROBLEM WITH OUR 2008 VERSA. WE HAD AN ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND SO WE IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT IN AT 22,000 MILES. THEY SAID WE HAD NO OIL CHANGES EXCEPT ONE. WE ARGUED THE POINT AND GOT NO WHERE. THEY STATED WE HAD NO OIL. WE SAID WHERE DID IT GO -- THEY DIDN'T KNOW! TALKED TO THE MANAGER AND GOT NOWHERE AT BUCKEYE NISSAN. HE PROMISED TO TALK TO CORPORATE AND WE GOT NOWHERE AGAIN. THAT WAS CLEAR BACK IN MARCH OF 2010. SO MUCH FOR WARRANTIES. THEY WANTED TO PUT IN A NEW ENGINE AT $4,500 ON A 2 YEAR OLD CAR. I'LL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN NOR WORK WITH A COMPANY THAT DOESN'T STAND BEHIND ITS PRODUCT. WE HAVE HAD OTHER CARS IN WHICH THEY HAVE ALWAYS HAD THEIR OIL CHANGES AND RETIRED THESE CARS AT 200,000+ MILES. WE PRESENTLY HAVE A 1999 DODGE RAM AND IT HAS 283,000+ MILES AND STILL RUNNING. AND....THEY SAID "WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO MAINTAIN OUR VEHICLES." OUR SECOND-HAND FORD EXPLORER SUV HAD 243,000 WHEN WE SOLD IT. AND OUR OTHER DODGE WHICH WAS RETIRED TO THE JUNK YARD HAD CLOSE TO 220,000 MILES. OUR OLD VEHICLES USUALLY HAD TRANSMISSIONS GO OUT AND THAT IS THE REASON WE WENT WITH THE VERSA BECAUSE OF THE HISTORY ON THEIR TRANSMISSION. WHEN WE HAD IT IN FOR THE ENGINE LIGHT, THEIR STORY CHANGED 3 TIMES ON WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND FINALLY ENDED UP WITH THE ENGINE. NO BIG DEAL -- ONLY $4,500 ON A VEHICLE LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD. NOW I'M DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT DRIVES WORSE THAN ANY OF OUR 15 YEAR OLD CARS EVER DID, OIL NEEDING CHANGED CONSTANTLY, DIP STICK COMING OUT ON OCCASION AND SPRAYING OIL EVERYWHERE, AND NOW STALLING OUT!. WHEN AIR-CONDITIONER IS RUN -- PUTS A FILM ON WINDOW WHICH FOGS UP. WHAT NEXT. SO MUCH FOR OUR FIRST NEW CAR IN YEARS AND DRIVING OUR GRANDCHILDREN AROUND SAFELY FOR SCHOOL. I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO DISAPPOINTED NOR UPSET WITH A COMPANY AS I HAVE WITH THIS COMPANY AND STANDING BEHIND THEIR WARRANTIES. AND EVEN MORE SO WITH NO RESPONSE BACK. I DON'T THINK THE MANAGER EVEN CHECKED WITH CORPORATE! *TR

STEERING
2009 NISSAN VERSA. AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS WITH CAR AND ABOUT 15K MILES LATER, I STARTED HEARING A "THUMP" NOISE ON THE STEERING WHEEL/COLUMN. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER AND GOT IT FIXED. A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER AT ABOUT 30K, IT BEGAN TO DO THE SAME THING. I TOOK IT IN AGAIN AND GOT IT "FIXED". AT ABOUT 40K IT STARTED DOING IT AGAIN. I DON'T HAVE WARRANTY ON IT ANY MORE SO I HAVEN'T TAKEN IT TO GET FIXED. HOWEVER, I'VE BEEN READING THREADS ONLINE ABOUT PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE, TO THE EXTENT THEY'VE CRASHED DUE TO THE CAR NOT TURNING, WHILE INITIAL SIGNS STARTING WITH THE "THUMPING" NOISE. I THINK THIS IS A DESIGN ERROR/DEFECT OF NISSAN VERSAS AND RESPECTFULLY ASK THAT YOU PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS.

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
I HAVE HAD THREE TIRE AIR PRESSURE SENSOR VALVES FAIL ON THREE DIFFERENT TIRES SINCE I BOUGHT MY 2009 NISSAN VERSA IN FEBRUARY 2009. TWO KEPT LOSING AIR AND TRIGGERING THE LIGHT IN MY DASHBOARD MORE FREQUENTLY UNTIL IT WAS EVERY 2 OR SO DAYS AND I HAD IT REPLACED WITH A PLAIN VALVE TILL I COULD GET TO NISSAN FOR A REPLACEMENT. THE OTHER WAS SUDDENLY ALMOST FLAT AND I HAD THE VALVE REPLACED. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM, MAYBE IT WAS THE WEATHER, EVEN THOUGH ONLY ONE TIRE WAS LOSING PRESSURE EVERY 2 DAYS. I HAVE CHANGED DEALERSHIPS AND THEY HAVE REPLACED 2, AND I WILL BE BRINGING IN THE THIRD. ALL WERE ORIGINALLY DIAGNOSED AND HAD PLAIN VALVES REPLACED AT MY LOCAL TIRE STORE. WHEN WILL THE FOURTH GO, AND WILL IT KILL ME OR SOMEONE ELSE? ARE THE REPLACEMENTS ANY BETTER THAN THE ORIGINALS? I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE MY NEW CAR. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT, STEERING
ON JUNE, 2008 I PURCHASE NISSAN VERSA FROM AN INSURANCE AUCTION. THE DAMAGES ON THE VEHICLE WERE ON REAR END, AND FRONT BUMPER WAS MISSING. NO DAMAGES ON THE FRONT. I PERSONALLY FIXED THE BODY DAMAGES AND PRESENT THE VEHICLE TO SALVAGE INSPECTION. THE VEHICLE SUCCESSFULLY PASSED THE TEST AND WAS REGISTERED WITH RESTORE SALVAGE TITLE. ODOMETER WAS SHOWING LITTLE OVER 12000MI. THE FIRST 1000MI. I DIDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS. WHEN THE VEHICLE REACHED ABOUT 13000MI. I NOTICED A CLUNKING AND KNOCKING NOISE IN THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE AND I FELT IT IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM PASSENGER SIDE. ALL THESE ISSUES ARE ACTING WHEN THE VEHICLE IS DRIVING SLOWLY AND MAKING RIGHT TURN GOING UP ON THE DRIVEWAY OR DOWN ON THE DRIVEWAY. I ASKED THE DIALER IF THE CAR IS STILL COVERED WITH MANUFACTURE WARRANTY ALTHOUGH IT HAS RESTORE SALVAGE TITLE. THE ANSWER CLEARLY NO. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE NET FOR RECALLS AND SURPRISINGLY I FOUND FORUMS WHICH DISCUSS THE SAME PROBLEMS. DESPITE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE NET AND EVEN AFTER THE DEALER ACTS AND TRIES TO FIX THE VEHICLES BY REPLACING MULTIPLE PARTS AND COMPONENTS THE PROBLEM ARE STILL EXISTING. ALL THIS IS VERY DISAPPOINTING AND I DON'T SEE ANY REASONS TO VISIT THE DEALER AND TRUST THEM TO FIX IT. I DIDN'T SEE ANY RECALL INFORMATION FOR THE PROBLEMS LISTED ABOVE. I'M EUROPEAN CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND I'M WORKING WITH DIFFERENT VEHICLES, BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN SUCH A PROBLEM! I INSPECTED MY VEHICLE MULTIPLE TIMES AND COULD NOT FIND ANY REASON FOR THIS NOISE. TODAY 07/08/2010 TWO YEARS AFTER I FIRST NOTICE THIS PROBLEM THE NOISE IS MUCH LOUDER. I STILL CAN'T FIND ANY REASON FOR THIS NOISE. IT SEEMS LIKE NISSAN DEALERS DON'T HAVE CLEAR ANSWER WHICH PART CAUSES THIS NOISE. PLEASE TAKE ALL THIS INTO CONSIDERATION AND INVESTIGATE FURTHER THIS ISSUE. PLEASE NOTE THERE HAS NOT BEEN ACCIDENT WITH THIS VEHICLE YET BECAUSE OF THE WRITTEN ABOVE. TO FILL THIS COMPLAINT I'M PUTTING TODAY'S DATE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AT ABOUT 32,000 MILES, THE ENGINE QUIT WHILE IN TRAFFIC, AND THE CAR (2009 NISSAN VERSA) WAS PUSHED INTO A PARKING LOT. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND LEFT OVERNIGHT. THE ENGINE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY A FUEL PUMP FAILURE. THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE PRESSURE SENSOR, BUT THE ENTIRE FUEL PUMP ASSY WAS REPLACED. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION:FRONT
WE OWN A 2008 NISSAN VERSA. IT CURRENTLY ONLY HAS 9,400 MILES ON IT. WHEN DRIVING IT THERE IS A "POPPING" FEEL UNDERNEATH THE FLOORBOARDS/ IN THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 2-26-09 WHERE THEY REPLACED BOTH UPPER STRUT BEARINGS AND COMPLETED A FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT. AGAIN, THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE SAME ISSUES AND ON AUGUST 5, 2009 BOTH UPPER STRUT BEARINGS WERE REPLACED AND ANOTHER ALIGNMENT WAS COMPLETED. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN YESTERDAY WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. THIS TIME THEY SAY THEY CAN'T "HEAR" IT (YOU CAN'T HEAR IT, BUT YOU CAN FEEL IT), SO THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. THEY REFUSED TO EVEN PUT IT UP ON THE LIFT TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE ASSEMBLY SINCE THEY COULDN'T "HEAR" ANYTHING. AFTER DOING RESEARCH, WE ARE SEEING THIS SAME COMPLAINT ON MANY DIFFERENT WEBSITES. NISSAN NEEDS TO FIX THESE VEHICLES. ONE LISTED ON THIS SITE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT APPARENTLY DUE TO THE STRUT FAILURE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I WAS DRIVING A 2008 NISSAN VERSA HATCHBACK [XXX] AT 50MPH IN A 50MPH ZONE IN THE LEFT LANE OF A TWO-LANE WESTBOUND STREET AT 5:03PM ON A DAY IN SEPTEMBER, 2009 WHEN A CAR IN FRONT OF ME CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN ORDER TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN (WHERE THERE WAS NO TURN POCKET). I DID NOT NOTICE THAT THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE - I HIT THE BRAKES AS HARD AS I COULD. THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH ANTI-LOCK BRAKES, BUT I IMMEDIATELY WENT INTO A VERY STRAIGHT, WHEELS-LOCKED SKID, DECELERATING TO A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 20MPH AT THE MOMENT OF IMPACT. THE TWO OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE I HIT WERE INJURED, AT LEAST ONE OF THEM WAS HOSPITALIZED. MY CAR WAS TOTALED SINCE THE REPAIR ESTIMATE CAME IN AT THE SAME AMOUNT AS THE LOAN PAYOFF AMOUNT. THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES HAD WORKED WELL IN TWO EMERGENCY STOPS EARLIER IN THE YEAR. THE ACCIDENT LEFT A 30+ FOOT LONG SET OF SKID MARKS AT THE ACCIDENT SCENE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

STEERING
STEERING WHEEL HAS A CLUNKING FEEL AND MAKES A CLUNKING NOISE WHEN THE WHEEL IS TURNS SHARPLY TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT WHEN STOPPED OR AT LOW SPEEDS. I HAVE MENTIONED THIS TWICE WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERS FOR OIL CHANGES AND WAS TOLD "THAT IS JUST THE WAY STE STEERING COLUMN FEELS". *TR

STEERING
THE STEERING WHEEL HAS A CLUNK OR POP THAT IS BOTH AUDIBLE AND FELT IN THE WHEEL WHEN MAKING TURNS TO THE RIGHT AT LOW SPEEDS. AT 10,000 MILES I BEGAN HEARING AND FEELING THIS CLUNK. AT 18,000 MILES I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN AND THAT IT WAS A SAFETY CONCERN. THE STOPPED THE SOUND AND THE POP/CLUNK. 1000 MILES LATER THE SOUND STARTED REAPPEARING. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER 5 TIMES SINCE AND THE DEALER CLAIMS TO NOT BE ABLE TO HEAR THE SOUND. I AM AWARE OF TWO TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS ON THIS ISSUE. I BELIEVE THE PART IS SYSTEMIC DEFECTIVE AND UNSAFE. I BELIEVE THIS NEEDS TO BE RESEARCHED AS A DEFECT AND REQUIRES A RECALL. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY CRUISE SET TO 72MPH, WE DID TURN THE AC ON AND A FEW MINUTES AFTER THAT THE CAR SHUT OFF AND I HAD TO FORCE THE WHEEL TO GET THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THANK GOD I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE BECAUSE IF NOT I WOULD HAVE BEEN STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I GOT MY CAR MOST OF THE WAY OFF THE ROAD BUT WHEN I TRIED TO RESTART IT WOULD NOT RESTART. I CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK AND I DID TRY TO START IT AGAIN WHILE WAITING AND STILL NOTHING. IT WAS A VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE TO BE SITTING ON THE SIDE OF A HIGHWAY BECAUSE MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF. *TR
