2007 Nissan Versa Complaint Log

TAKATA RECALL: THIS IS THIRD TIME AIRBAG INFLATOR LIGHT GOES ON. HAD RECALL REPAIRED A YR AGO AT CLERMONT, FL DEALER. AFTER REPAIR WAS DONE NOTICED HORN, AIR CONDITIONER AND DEFROST BUTTONS NOT WORKING ON PANEL. I IMMEDIATELY POINTED IT OUT TO DEALER. THEY FIXED AIR CONDITIONER BUTTON ONLY, SAID THE OTHER TWO ISSUES WERE NOT THERE PROBLEM. I SPOKE TO WARRANT DEPT THAT DAY AT THE DEALERSHIP TO NO AVAIL DEPT. STATED CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. IF I WANTED IT FIXED I HAD TO PAY. DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM I HAD TO PAY AND THEY WOULD GLADLY GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE. HORN AND OTHER BUTTONS ON PANEL WERE ALL WORKING PROPERLY UNTIL AIR BAG WAS FIXED THAT DAY. I CALLED NISSAN WARRANTY DEPT AGAIN. DEPT SAID THEY COULD NOT HELP BECAUSE IT WAS A DEALERSHIP ISSUE. I TOOK VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP IN LEESBURG, FL 3 MONTHS AGO. THEY STATED THERE WAS A RECALL ON AIRBAG I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT. THEY FIXED PROBLEM. 2 MONTHS LATER AIRBAG INFLATOR LIGHT GOES ON AGAIN. I WENT TO THE NISSAN DEALER IN CLERMONT AND THEY STATED THERE WAS NO RECALL ON FILE. THEY WOULD CONTACT ME WHEN THEY RECIEVED INFORMATION ABOUT IT. I TRIED TO EXPLAIN TO MANAGER THAT I SPOKE TO THE WARRANTY DEPT AND THEY STATED I NEEDED TO BRING VEHICLE IN TO HAVE THIS ISSUE FIXED RIGHT AWAY. AGAIN MANAGER SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AT THE TIME I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT TO RECEIVE INFORMATION ABOUT RECALL. I REALLY NEED HELP REGARDING THE ISSUES AT HAND. HORN IS NOT WORKING DUE TO THE AIRBAG MALFUNCTION. I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE EVERYDAY AND I AM VERY SCARED SUMTHING MIGHT HAPPEN DUE TO THESE ISSUES AND RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR THE SUSPENSION. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR THE RECALL REPAIR APPOINTMENT AND A MECHANIC MADE A GENERAL STATEMENT THAT A FRONT END ALIGNMENT WAS NECESSARY BEFORE THE RECALL REPAIR WOULD BE COMPLETED. THE CONTACT WAS WAITING FOR A RESPONSE FROM THE MANUFACTURER TO DETERMINE THE SOLUTION TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE CONCERNING WHAT THE DEALER STATED. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN.

NHTSA RECALL 16V-349.

PULLING INTO DRIVEWAY HEARD A LOUD POP AND THE FRONT END WENT DOWN. FOUND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE FLAT AND A BROKEN SPRING ON THE GROUND BEHIND IT. WHEN THE DEALER WAS CALLED ABOUT COST TO FIX WE WERE TOLD IT IS UNDER RECALL. WE HAD NOT BEEN MADE AWARE OF THE RECALL AND THANKFULLY THIS DID NOT HAPPEN AT 70MPH SPEED. VERY CONCERNED FOR THOSE WHO ARE STILL DRIVING THESE UNAWARE OF THIS HAZARD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN VERRSA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,800.

TAKATA RECALL - BACK IN AUGUST I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM NISSAN SAYING THAT MY PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS FAULTY AND I SHOULD NOT USE MY PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THEY ARE ABLE TO FIX IT. I HAVE MADE REPEATED CALLS TO NISSAN AND TO THE DEALERSHIP IN ALL CASES THEY TOLD ME TO WAIT UNTIL THEY TELL ME THE PARTS ARE READY. MY CAR IS 10 YEARS OLD AND I THINK NISSAN IS JUST DELAYING IT HOPING THE CAR WILL GO AWAY. I NEED TO USE ALL FOUR SEATS OF MY CAR. THEY ARE JUST TELLING ME NOT TO USE IT TO COVER THEMSELVES IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT INVOLVING THE AIRBAG. CAN YOU PLEASE DO ANYTHING TO MAKE THEM EXPEDITE THIS RECALL?

I [XXX] TOOK MY NISSAN VERSA TO REPAIR SHOP WITH NISSAN REPAIR SHOP IN 2017 TWICE IN FRESNO, CA. I WAS SENT BACK HOME DUE TO PARTS NOT BEGIN IN STOCK. NEVER WAS CALLED OR RECEIVED NO NOTIFICATIONS BACK. MY CAR STILL HAS THE AIR BAGS SIGNAL ON. NO ACCIDENTS YET BUT I AM NOT WAITING FOR IT TO HAPPENED AND BE AT RISK OF SEVERE CONSEQUENCES OR FATAL CONSEQUENCES. I DO NOT FEEL SAVE SPECIALLY FOR MY PASSENGERS ! I DEMAND IT GETS FIX THE WAY PAYMENTS ARE PAID IN FULL WHEN PURCHASING THE CAR. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *PM *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER UNDER A RECALL FOR THE CLOCK SPRING; HOWEVER, THE CROSS MOUNT FRACTURED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO RETRIEVE THE CLOCK SPRING DUE TO CORROSION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

REPORTING AN ISSUE WITH THE 2007 NISSAN VERSA INTERMITTENT BRAKE FAILURE. WHEN DRIVING ON DRY ROADS AND BRAKING HARD, THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD GO TO THE FLOOR, THEN RECOVER ITSELF AND HAVE ADEQUATE PRESSURE WITHIN ABOUT A MINUTE. CAR HAS BEEN REGULARLY SERVICED SINCE PURCHASE, INCLUDING ANNUAL BRAKE SERVICE. THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED TWICE IN THE CAR'S LIFETIME - THE FIRST TIME, THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE CAR OUT OF TRAFFIC WITHOUT ISSUE. FULL BRAKE SYSTEM WAS CHECKED OUT WITH NO ISSUES FOUND IN MASTER CYLINDER OR OTHER HYDRAULICS AND UNABLE TO REPEAT ISSUE. AFTER 1.5 YEARS, THE SECOND TIME THE ISSUE OCCURRED, THE DRIVER WAS IN STOP & GO RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON DRY ROADS AND WHEN HITTING THE BRAKES, THE BRAKE FAILURE CAUSED A COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE WITH AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. FULL BRAKE SYSTEM CHECK BY MULTIPLE SHOPS SHOWED NO ISSUE WITH BRAKE HYDRAULICS, AND AGAIN WAS UNABLE TO REPEAT THE ISSUE. BRAKE FLUID HAD BEEN RECENTLY EXCHANGED. OWNER HAS REQUESTED EVENT DATA RECORDER INFO PULL FROM NISSAN USA TO DETERMINE THAT BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED AND CAR DID NOT SLOW DOWN - NISSAN USA STATING $600 FEE PLUS 1 MONTH LEAD TIME UNTIL SUCH DATA CAN BE PULLED FROM THE VEHICLE. NISSAN TECH HAS CONFIRMED THAT SUCH AN ISSUE HAS BEEN SEEN IN SOME VEHICLES, BUT CANNOT CONFIRM CAUSE, ONLY THAT REPLACEMENT OF A WORKING MASTER CYLINDER HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM, WHICH GOES AGAINST REASON OF REPLACING SOMETHING THAT IS FUNCTIONING UNDER STANDARD TEST CONDITIONS.

OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST 3 YEARS, MY 110,000 MILE VERSA STALLS AND DOES NOT START, RANDOMLY. SOMETIMES IN DRIVEWAY, SOMETIMES STALL MID-DRIVE. SOMETIMES AFTER DRIVING HIGHWAY OR RESIDENTIAL FINE AFTER TURNING OFF, AND RETURNING IT WON'T START. SOMETIMES AFTER THIS IT WILL RESTART AFTER TAKING A BREAK AND THEN TRYING AGAIN A THIRD OR FOURTH TIME. YOU NEVER KNOW.4 MECHANIC SHOPS, INCLUDING NISSAN DEALERSHIP (TWICE) COULD NOT FIGURE IT OUT. NO DIAGNOSTIC IS CLEAR ON THE ISSUE. ONE MECHANIC FOUND A THEFT/SECURITY CODE COME UP, BUT BOTH SETS OF KEYS WORK AND BOTH REMOTE LOCKS WORK. I CALLED THE LOCK RESET PEOPLE AND THEY SAID IT SOUNDS MORE LIKE A COMPUTER PROBLEM. FRUSTRATING AND DANGEROUS. I DO ALL THE REQUIRED AND RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE AND CHECKS. THIS IS BAD.

TIENE PROBLEMAS LOS AIE BAGS Y EL THROTTLER SE LE CAMBI Y AN AS SE QUEDA ACELERADO TRABAJANDO EN ALTA.

WITH THE CAR RUNNING, THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON WHENEVER A PASSENGER SITS IN THE RIGHT FRONTSEAT AND STAYS ON AFTER THE PASSENGER EXITS THE VEHICLE. AFTER HAVING THE SENSOR RESET AT AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR COMPANY, THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURS THE NEXT TIME A PASSENGER SITS IN THE SEAT. THE SENSOR HAS BEEN RESET SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY,WITH THE PROBLEM REOCCURRING EACH TIME A PASSENGER SITS DOWN BEFORE A TRIP.

CVT TRANSMISSION. CAR WILL STOP WHILE IN DRIVE, WITH CAR ALREADY IN MOTION, AND NEED TO BE RESTARTED IN NEUTRAL. WHEN SHIFTED INTO REVERSE, CAR WILL NOT ACTUALLY GO IN REVERSE FOR SOME TIME AND GENERALLY NOT UNTIL THE GAS PEDAL IS MORE FIRMLY DEPRESSED AND THEN EVENTUALLY AFTER 30 SECONDS OR SO WILL FINALLY "LURCH" INTO REVERSE. THEN WHEN SHIFTING TO DRIVE, THE CAR WILL START TO GO AND THEN STALL OUT AGAIN, NEEDING TO BE RESTARTED IN NEUTRAL AGAIN. THE FACT THAT THESE INSTANCES OCCUR WITH THE CAR IN MOTION IS CONCERNING AND COULD LEAD TO ACCIDENTS. WE HAVE BEEN VERY FORTUNATE THUS FAR TO BE IN LIMITED TRAFFIC WHEN THESE INSTANCES HAVE OCCURRED BUT IS AN ONGOING ISSUE. TRIED TO RESEARCH TODAY AND FOUND THAT OTHERS HAVE ENCOUNTERED SIMILAR ISSUES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD BANG COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO WOBBLE AND THERE WAS A RUBBING SOUND THAT WAS HEARD WHEN MAKING LEFT AND RIGHT TURNS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE COIL SPRING HAD FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,500. THE CONSUMER STATED THE NISSAN OFFERED TO REPLACE BOTH FRONT SPRINGS AT NO CHARGE AND REIMBURSE THE AMOUNT FOR WHAT WAS ALREADY REPAIRED. UPDATED 2/1/2016*JS *CN

WAS TOLD EXCESSIVE RUST ON DRUMS WERE MAKING BRAKES SQUEAL IN REVERSE. BRAKES MAKE HARD RUBBING NOISE WHEN STOPPING IN A HURRY CITY STREETS. . DEALER SAID IF NOISE CONTINUES TO BOTHERED ME I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE DRUMS REPLACED.MY CAR IS JUST UNDER 20,000 MILES. IS IT REASONABLE THAT I PAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM? CAR HAS RARELY BEEN DRIVEN IN WINTER SALT/ CONDITIONS. VERY LOW MILEAGE FOR A CAR THIS AGE. ISN'T THIS CORROSION CONSIDERED EXCESSIVE WEAR?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE LOWER CONTROL ARM AND AXLE FRACTURED. AS A RESULT, BOTH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,800. MA 10/29/2015 *CN

I OWN A 2007 NISSAN VERSA SL HATCHBACK. I AM THE SECOND OWNER. PURCHASED CAR WITH 78,000 MILES. CAR WAS PRE-INSPECTED BEFORE PURCHASE. MY CERTIFIED MASTER MECHANIC GAVE THE CAR VERY HIGH MARKS. AT AROUND THE 96450 MILEAGE MARK, I NOTICED A CREAKING SOUND WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL. MY MECHANIC INSPECTED IT AND DETERMINED MY LOWER RIGHT BALL JOINT NEEDED REPAIR. HE ALSO DETERMINED MY LEFT FRONT DRIVER COIL SPRING WAS BROKEN. I KEEP MY CAR IN VERY GOOD WORKING ORDER AND GENTLY DRIVE IT AROUND 10,000 MILES PER YEAR SINCE PURCHASING IT. NOT SURE WHY THESE TWO ITEMS MALFUNCTIONED. I HAVE NOTICED OTHER VERSA OWNERS ON THE INTERNET REPORTING SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THANKS FOR LOOKING INTO THIS.

FRONT LEFT COIL SPRING BROKE WHILE LEAVING PARKING SPOT; BROKEN SPRING CAME TO REST ON TIRE (DAMAGED). LOOKED ONLINE AND LO AND BEHOLD, VERSAS 2008-2010 ARE APPARENTLY BEING LOOKED AT FOR THIS. MINE IS A 2007, BUT I WANT TO PUT THIS OUT THERE SO OTHERS KNOW TO HAVE THEIRS CHECKED OUT. THANK GOD I WAS GOING 5MPH AS I PULLED OUT, NOT AT 70MPH.

LOWER BALL JOINT ON DRIVER'S SIDE BROKE, CAUSING FRONT WHEELS TO SPLAY.

MY TRANSMISSION WAS UNABLE TO UPSHIFT TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE CLOSEST NISSAN DEALER VERIFIED MY CVT TRANSMISSION HAD ADEQUATE FLUID. I LIMBERED THE CAR HOME. UPON SEARCHING THE INTERNET I READ NUMEROUS POSTS OF MULTIPLE OWNERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH NISSAN'S 2007-2010 MODEL YEAR CVT TRANSMISSIONS. NISSAN, ADMITTED TO THEIR FLAWED CVT TRANSMISSION BY EXTENDING THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS/120 K MILES. I FILED A WARRANTY CLAIM WITH NISSAN AS I WAS JUST SLIGHTLY OVER THE MILEAGE WARRANTY BUT WELL WITHIN THE TIME FRAME PART OF THE WARRANTY. NISSAN'S EXTENDED WARRANTY DOCUMENT CLAIMS THEY WILL ASSIST VEHICLE OWNERS WITH TRANSMISSION RELATED EXPENSES FOR THOSE TRANSMISSIONS THAT FAIL BEYOND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. MARISSA (615-725-7447) FROM NISSAN CONTACTED ME THIS MORNING STATING THAT NISSAN WILL NOT HELP COVER ANY OF MY EXPENSES I HAVE HAD SEVERAL NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENTS ADMIT TO ME THE EXCESSIVE PROBLEMS THEY HAVE SEEN WITH THIS VINTAGE CVT TRANSMISSION COMPARED TO OTHER TRANSMISSIONS AND THE LARGE AMOUNTS OF THIS TYPE TRANSMISSION THEY HAVE HAD TO REPLACE. NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR INFERIOR DESIGN AND PRODUCTION OF THIS CVT TRANSMISSION. AT A MINIMUM THEY SHOULD BE ASSISTING IN MY HUGE EXPENSE (OVER $ 3000) THAT I AM EXPERIENCING RIGHT NOW. THEY CLAIM TO COMMIT TO THIS IN WRITING WITHIN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY VERBIAGE, BUT IN MY ATTEMPT FOR ASSISTANCE I HAVE BEEN FLATLY DENIED. I AM A VERY UNSATISFIED NISSAN CUSTOMER, FORTUNATELY FOR THEM THERE WAS NO PERSONAL INJURY TO ME OR OTHER DRIVERS WHEN I WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN A SAFE DRIVING SPEED ON MY WAY HOME. I ASK FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE ON THIS MATTER FOR I AM CONFIDENT THAT THERE ARE AN EXCESSIVELY HIGH AMOUNT OF NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURES WITHIN THE 2007-2010 MODEL YEAR, WELL BEYOND THE INDUSTRY NORM. THEY SHOULD HELP PAY FOR PART OF MY EXPENSES AS THEY COMMIT TO WITHIN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING SERVICED, THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DISCOVERED THAT THE FRONT CROSS MEMBER WAS WORN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BATTERY LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ERROR CODES INDICATED THAT THE DRIVE CONTROL UNIT AND STEERING CONTROL UNIT FAILED. THE FAILURE HAD BEEN ONGOING FOR A YEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORS FAILED IN ALL 4 TIRES

I WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 5-10 MPH ON A SLIGHT DOWNWARD SLOPE WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY MADE A LOUD NOISE, THE VEHICLE WAS JARRED, AND THE VEHICLE CAME TO AN ABRUPT STOP. AFTER EXITING THE VEHICLE, I FOUND THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE HAD COME OFF FROM THE SUSPENSION, AND IT WAS MISALIGNED AND STICKING OUT AT AN ANGLE. IN ADDITION, THERE WERE SHATTERED PIECES OF VEHICLE PARTS ON THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTING ONLY ON THREE TIRES. LUCKILY THE VEHICLE STOPPED RATHER THAN ROLLING DOWN THE SLOPE AND COLLIDING WITH SEVERAL CARS AS WELL AS PEOPLE; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE DID HAVE TO BE TOWED AS IT WAS NOT DRIVE-ABLE FOLLOWING THE INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE REQUIRED OVER $640 WORTH OF REPAIRS INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE CONTROL ARM, DRIVE AXLE AND SHAFT. SEVERAL MONTHS FOLLOWING THE INCIDENT, NISSAN OPENED A CAMPAIGN SPECIFICALLY FOR CORROSION OF THE FRONT COIL SPRINGS. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN DRIVEN IN MICHIGAN FROM 2007 TO SUMMER 2012 WHERE THERE IS HEAVY SNOW AND SALT ON THE ROADS IN THE WINTER. FROM THE SUMMER 2012 TO NOW, THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN IN THE DC METRO AREA. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN APRIL 2016 TO HAVE THE CAMPAIGN COMPLETED, WHICH WAS REPLACING THE FRONT COIL SPRINGS. UPON INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE BY NISSAN, I WAS TOLD THAT NISSAN WAS UNABLE TO REPLACE SOLELY THE FRONT COIL SPRINGS BECAUSE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DISASSEMBLE OTHER PARTS NEEDED TO GET TO THE COIL SPRINGS DUE TO OTHER PARTS HAVING SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE FROM CORROSION (EX. STRUT, BEARING, MOUNT, ETC.). AS A RESULT, MULTIPLE PARTS (NOT JUST THE COIL SPRINGS) HAD TO BE REPLACED.

DRIVING IN NEIGHBORHOOD VERY SLOW SPEED WHEN FRONT COIL SPRING BROKE CAUSING IT TO RUPTURE THE FRONT TIRE (IT POPPED). LUCKILY I WAS DRIVING 25 MPH OR COULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR PROBLEM. SAW ON NEWS TODAY THEY HAVE HAD OVER 130,000 COMPLAINTS SO FAR- THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT, IT IS GOING TO COST CLOSE TO $1700 TODAY TO GET IT FIXED.

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 CONTINUOUSLY BLINK, EVEN WHEN ALL FOUR TIRES HAVE THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF PRESSURE IN THEM. 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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2006 (N/A) NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE CONTACT WAS INVOLVED IN A THREE VEHICLE CRASH. THE AIR BAG ON THE DRIVER SIDE DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUFFERED GLASS PARTICLES ENTERING THE FINGER, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. IN ADDITION, FOUR PASSENGERS SUSTAINED UNKNOWN INJURIES AND THE DRIVER IN THE OTHER VEHICLE SUSTAINED FATAL INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. *DSY SEE ALSO ODI 10809473.

PASSENGER AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CONSTANTLY BLINKS. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS SOMETHING ACTUALLY WRONG OR IF IT IS GOING TO COST ME SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS TO HAVE TO REPLACE A FUSE.

IN PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY IN REVERSE, THE FRONT COIL SPRING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRACTURED. THE DRIVEWAY HAD A BIT OF SNOW COVER, WHICH I DROVE THROUGH. MY MECHANIC ASSURED ME THAT LEVEL OF RESISTANCE SHOULD NOT HAVE CAUSED THE COIL TO FRACTURE, RATHER HE QUESTIONED WHETHER A DEFECT IN THE METALLURGY MIGHT HAVE CAUSED THE BREAK. HE EXAMINED THE DRIVER SIDE COIL AS WELL AND DETERMINED THAT IT ALSO WAS DEFECTIVE AND REPLACED BOTH. I APPEAR TO HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AS OWNERS OF LATER MODEL VERSA CARS.

CONTINUOUS BLINKING TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT THAT STAYS ON EVEN WHEN TIRES ARE CORRECTLY FILLED WITH AIR. THIS IS SECOND SENSOR I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE. FIRST ONE LASTED 6 YEARS AND SECOND ONE LASTED ONE YEAR. ALSO DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ME 50 DOLLARS JUST TO TELL ME SENSOR IS BAD AND THAT INFORMATION I CAN FIND IN CAR'S MANUAL. I TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY CAR. LOW MILEAGE 48,000 FOR AN EIGHT YEAR OLD CAR. THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT IS A BIG PROBLEM AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN. IT STARTED AT 15 THOUSAND MILES AND 27 THOUSAND MILES AND THEN I HAD TO KEEP TAKING IT TO DEALER TO GET RECALIBRATED...MORE MONEY. THEN THE SENSOR MALFUNCTIONED AND I HAD TO REPLACE THE FIRST ONE LAST YEAR AND NOW ONE YEAR LATER AND 7 THOUSAND MORE MILES IT IS ACTING UP AGAIN AND NEEDS REPLACEMENT. THE DEALER IS CHARGING 50 DOLLARS JUST TO LOOK AT IT. IT IS A DEFECTIVE TIRE SENSOR AND I BELIEVE THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD RECALL THEM. IT IS ANNOYING AND DANGEROUS. *TR

THE BALL JOINT HAS BROKEN OFF MY CAR ONCE (NOT WHILE IN AN ACCIDENT OR ON A POT HOLE), AND HAS BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES SINCE THE INCIDENT.

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET IN MY TOWN GOING AROUND 25 MPH WHEN IT SOUNDED AS THOUGH I HIT SOMETHING, BUT LOOKED BACK AND DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. HEARD A POPPING NOISE WHEN I WOULD TURN RIGHT BUT THEN IT WENT AWAY, BUT THE CAR FELT FUNNY WHEN I DROVE IT, SO I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER TO GET IT CHECKED OUT AND DISCOVERED THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS A BROKEN COIL SPRING. DID SOME RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE CARS, AND I LUCKED OUT SINCE MANY COIL SPRINGS, WHEN THEY BREAK, OFTEN TEAR APART THE TIRE, WHICH IF GOING AT HIGH SPEEDS COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CAUSE A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS/FATAL ACCIDENT. *TR

KNOWN NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUE ON 2007 NISSAN VERSA AND MANY OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION. OUR 2007 VERSA STOPPED MOVING WHILE IN "DRIVE" IN AN EXTREMELY BUSY INTERSECTION - THANKFULLY IT DID NOT RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PUT IT IN "PARK" AND THEN BACK INTO "DRIVE" TO GET IT BACK HOME. NISSAN HAS OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED & NOTED THIS CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUE ON THIER "NISSAN CVT CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM" WEBSITE AND HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO COVER EFFECTED/FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT A LOCAL NISSAN DEALER FOR 2 WEEKS AWAITING NISSAN AUTHORIZATION TO PERFORM THE WARRANTY REPAIR. THE LARGER CONCERN IS AS FOLLOWS - GIVEN THE FAILURE MODE WE EXPERIENCED AND THE ASSOCIATED DANGERS RELATED TO A CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURE, WHY IS THIS NOT A FEDERAL MANDATED SAFETY RECALL? THIS SITUATION IS NO DIFFERENT THAN THE CURRENT GM IGNITION SWITCH ISSUE IN MY OPINION. FAILURE OF THE NISSAN CVT TRANSMISION IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS CAN RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT, SERIOUS INJURY AND EVEN DEATH. *JS

WHEN THE GAS TANK IS COMPLETELY FULL, THE VEHICLE HAS A BAD SMELL OF GASOLINE. AFTER DRIVING FOR FIFTY MILES, THE SMELL DISSIPATES. I TOOK THE NISSAN VERSA 2007 TO HANOVER NISSAN AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT IS THE FUEL PUMP. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON THE ISSUE AND HAVE NOTICED THAT IT IS A RELATIVELY COMMON ISSUE ON VARIOUS NISSANS. HOWEVER, NISSAN REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AND DOES NOT ISSUE ANY RECALLS OR SERVICE BULLETINS SINCE IT COSTS $800 - $1,000 AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THEY JUST WANT TO MAKE MONEY SO THEY WILL NOT ISSUE AN SERVICE BULLETINS REGARDING THE FAULTY FUEL PUMPS. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVEN A LOT AND AT 55000 MILES IT DEVELOPED THE PROBLEM OF TRANSMISSION COOLANT FAILURE, THIS WILL CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO LOCK UP EVEN DURING DRIVING AND CAUSE AN UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION. LUCKILY WE DETECTED QUICK ENOUGH THAT WE DID NOT HAVE ANYONE HARMED DURING THE OPERATION OF THE CAR. NISSAN REFUSES TO COVER ALL REPAIR WORK UNDER THE EXTENDED GUARANTEE AND ENSURE SAFE DRIVING FROM THE DEBRIS LEFT IN THE COOLANT LINE BUT DID REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR. THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT THE COOLANT PUMP, THERMOSTAT OR OTHER COOLANT DEVICES WON'T FAIL AND CAUSE OTHER OPERATIONAL HAZARDS, IF THEY DO INDEED FAIL AS A RESULT OF THEIR NEGLIGENCE TO PERFORM A FULL REPAIR; AND ENSURING THAT THE LINES AND COOLANT SYSTEMS ARE FREE FROM DEBRIS AND WILL NOT FAIL UNDER USE. FAILURE OF THE COOLANT SYSTEM CAN CAUSE OVERHEATING OF THE ENGINE AND MAY POSE A UNSAFE DRIVING HAZARD, HOWEVER BY THEIR (NISSAN) DEFINITION CHANGING THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION AND LEAVING DEBRIS IN THE COOLANT LINES IS WITHIN REASON AND SAFETY GUIDELINES AND DO NOT HAVE TO FLUSH OR REPLACE ANY OTHER COMPONENT THAT THE OIL MIXTURE HAS TOUCHED EVEN IF IT DID DAMAGE THOSE COMPONENTS AS A RESULT OF THE OIL MIXTURE. *TR

WHEN THE PROBLEM INITIALLY HAPPENED, I WOULD HAVE TO PUSH THE REAR DEFROSTER BUTTON HARD (AND SOMETIMES WIGGLE IT) IN ORDER TO MAKE IT WORK. HOWEVER, AFTER A WEEK OF DOING THAT TO GET THE SNOW, FROST, AND FOG OFF MY REAR WINDSHIELD, THE BUTTON NO LONGER WORKS (I.E. THE LIGHT INDICATOR DOES NOT COME ON, NOR DOES THE REAR DEFROSTER TURN ON). AFTER CHECKING ALL MY FUSES (IN THE HOOD AND CABIN) AND FINDING THAT THE FUSES WERE IN PERFECT WORKING ORDER, I BEGAN TO LOOK ON VARIOUS NISSAN VERSA FORUM SIGHTS TO SEE IF I COULD TROUBLESHOOT THE MATTER. AFTER TYPING MY PROBLEM IN, NUMEROUS NISSAN FORUMS POPPED UP DISCUSSING THIS EXACT PROBLEM. MANY PEOPLE HAVE STATED THAT THE REASON THE REAR DEFROSTER DOES NOT WORK IS DUE TO AN INFERIOR A/C CONTROLLER. I UNDERSTAND THAT TIMES ARE TOUGH AND COMPANIES WANT TO MAKE MONEY BY USING CHEAP PARTS, HOWEVER WHEN IT COMES TO SAFETY THIS SHOULD NOT BE THE ISSUE. *TR

THIS VEHICLES HUB CAPS ALL BROKE AND FELL OFF WITHIN 20K MILES. NOW AT 50K MILES THE MUFFLER IS RUSTED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. REPAIR SHOP SAYS THEY SEE THESE VERSES ALL THE TIME WITH THE SAME ISSUES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN VERSA EQUIPPED WITH SUMITOMO, TIRE LINE: TOURING LS TIRE SIZE: 185/65/R15 TIRES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO MAKE AN ABNORMAL THUMPING NOISE. THE CONTACT MERGED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN ORDER TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE TIRE TREAD HAD SEPARATED AND THE PIECE THAT HUNG OFF WAS HITTING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN CONFIRMED THAT THE TREAD HAD SEPARATED DUE TO LACK OF AIR IN THE TIRE. THE TIRE WAS NOT REPLACED. NEITHER THE VIN NOR THE DOT NUMBERS WERE AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,950. THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

THE HATCHBACK LOCK MECHANISM QUIT WORKING ON JULY 2 (106885 MILES). CAN ONLY BE OPENED WITH THE KEY FOB (NO KEY LOCK ON THIS MODEL), OR BY UNLOCKING THE BACK SEATS AND CRAWLING INTO THE TRUNK COMPARTMENT TO PULL THE MANUAL RELEASE. WHILE THIS IS A PAIN IN THE NECK, IT DOESN'T SEEM TO POSE A HAZARD. ON JULY 27 (108291 MILES) THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCK QUIT WORKING - TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY. THERE ARE FOUR WAYS TO OPEN THIS DOOR, WITH THE KEY FOB, THE ELECTRIC LOCK/UNLOCK MECHANISM ON BOTH THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND THE PASSENGER'S SIDE, AND FINALLY THE MANUAL LOCK/UNLOCK MECHANISM. ALL OF THESE QUIT WORKING AND THERE IS NO EXTERIOR MANUAL KEY LOCK TO ACCESS EITHER. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT OR AN EMERGENCY, THE PASSENGER HAS NO QUICK AND EASY WAY TO GET OUT OF THE CAR. THEY MUST EXIT THE SAME WAY THE ENTERED THE VEHICLE, BY CRAWLING OVER THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT AND WHEEL, EMERGENCY BRAKE AND TRANSMISSION SHIFT MECHANISM. MY WIFE DRIVES A TOTAL OF 64 MILES A DAY (TO AND FROM WORK) 10 DAYS A MONTH -- BY HERSELF, SO THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AND HATCHBACK HAVE NOT BEEN USED AS OFTEN AS ANOTHER CAR WITH OUR MILEAGE MIGHT BE EXPECTED TO HAVE BEEN USED. THE DEALER QUOTED ME $895 PLUS TAX TO FIX THESE TWO ISSUES ($485 FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR). NOT ONLY DOSE THIS POSE A SERIOUS DANGER TO THE PASSENGER, IT IS A RIP OFF (WHY DIDN'T THEY PROVIDE A "KEYED" ENTRY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE?)! *JS

HEARD A CLUNK OF METAL FROM FRONT RIGHT. STOPPED THE CAR AND INSPECTED THE FRONT AND FOUND RIGHT FRONT SPRING HAD BROKEN. IF THE SPRING HAD FALLEN OFF THE PERCH THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN LOSS OF CONTROL! *TR

MY 2007 NISSAN VERSA 1.8L WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WILL DRIVING OUT OF THE PARKING GARAGE AT WORK I TRIED SO MANY TIMES ROLLING BACK DRIVING UP FINALLY A COWORKER CAME AND PUSHED IT UP ONCE TO THE NEXT LEVEL I TURNED THE CAR OFF ONCE BACK ON MY SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON I TOOK IT FOR THE CHECK AND IT WAS THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR ONCE I GOT THAT REPLACE THE AIR CONDITIONER QUIT AS WELL AS THE REAR DEFROSTER. UPON READING NUMEROUS FORUMS IT IS DETERMINED THIS HAPPENS TO 8/10 2007 VERSAS IT IS NOT SAFE TO HAVE NO WORKING DEFROSTER LET ALONE THE LACK OF ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING NISSAN SHOULD TRULY INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE FOR SAFETY PURPOSES. *TR

THE TPMS SENSORS WERE ALL CHECKED AT COSTCO AND THE RESET BY THE TECHNICIANS TO RELEARN THE PROGRAM. THEY STATED THAT IF THE TPMS COMES BACK ON THAT I WILL NEED TO TAKE TO A DEALER TO GET IT FIGURED OUT SINCE IT COULD BE THE COMPUTER. CALLED THE DEALER TO FIND OUT COSTS THAT THEY SAID THE DIAGNOSTIC WOULD BE $65 WHICH WOULD BE CREDITED FOR ANY SERVICES THAT NEED TO BE DONE. AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IT CANNOT BE NOT DONE BUT IF THIS WERE ALSO A FEDERAL SAFETY MANDATED ISSUE SUCH AS AN AIRBAG IT SHOULD NOT "DEPLOY" UNLESS THE TIRE PRESSURE IS LOW. BOTH TIMES AT COSTCO AND AGAIN WHEN THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS AT THE SPECIFIED 33 PSI. IF AN AIRBAG WERE TO BE DEFECTIVE THAT WOULD CAUSE A DANGER TO LIFE AND PROPERTY BUT DUE TO THIS SAFETY MEASURE NOT THREATENING LIFE OR LIMB IT DOES NOT NEED TO BE ZERO DEFECTS AND THE USER CAN GET BILLED FOR ANY DEFECTS UNLIKE AN AIRBAG. *TR

OUR DAUGHTER WAS PULLING OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY WHEN SHE HEARD A LOUD POP AND THE RIGHT FRONT OF CAR NOSE DOWN . SHE THEN BACKED BACK INTO THE DRIVEWAY AND CALLED ME. WHEN I CAN HOME I JACKED THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE UP AND REMOVED THE TIRE TO FIND COIL SPRING HAD BROKE AND CUT A GROVE IN THE SIDEWAY OF THE TIRE.I FOUND THE OTHER PART OF THE COIL SPRING LAYING OUT IN THE ROAD 10 FEET FROM OUR DRIVEWAY.WHILE I WAS WORKING ON THE CAR I ASKED MY DAUGHTER TO CALL THE NISSAN DEALER ABOUT REPAIR COST WHICH THEY DID CALL BACK WITH BUT SHE SAID THE SERVICEMAN NEVER ASKED WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THIS IS A PROBLEM AND A SAFETY ISSUE WHICH NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *JS

MY HUSBAND WAS BACKING OUR VERSA OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY WHEN HE HEARD A PIECE OF METAL HIT THE STREET AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE SUNK DOWN. HE FOUND A U-SHAPED CHUNK OF METAL ON THE GROUND AFTER THE FRONT SUSPENSION COIL HAD CRACKED COMPLETELY CLEAN IN HALF. THE MECHANIC HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FRONT SUSPENSION SYSTEM AS IT APPEARED TO HAVE THE BEGINNINGS OF A CRACK IN THE COIL ON THE OTHER SIDE AS WELL. FORTUNATELY, IT DID NOT HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. THE MECHANIC SAID HE WAS SURPRISED THAT THE DEALER HAD THE PARTS IN STOCK, MAKING ME THINK THIS MIGHT BE A COMMON PROBLEM. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO NISSAN AS WELL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2007 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE CONTACT SWERVED TO AVOID HITTING AN ONCOMING VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A BRICK WALL. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED SPINE AND HEAD INJURIES AND MEMORY LOSS. THE SHATTERED GLASS CAUSED LACERATIONS THROUGHOUT HER ENTIRE BODY, ALL OF WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,400.

IN 2014, MY VERSA'S RF COIL SPRING FRACTURED. A LARGE PIECE OF IT ACTUALLY DETACHED AND FELL ONTO THE ROAD AS THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. I TOOK IT TO A PRIVATE GARAGE AND THE SPRING AND STRUT WERE REPLACED. IN FALL OF 2015 I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE REGARDING THIS ISSUE. IN JANUARY 2016, I TOOK THE CAR TO CAPITAL NISSAN IN WILMINGTON, NC, WHERE I NOW LIVE, AND I WAS TOLD THAT IN ORDER FOR THE RECALL TO BE COMPLETED, I WOULD NEED TO PURCHASE A NEW RF AND LF STRUT OUT OF POCKET BECAUSE THE EXISTING STRUTS ARE FUSED BY CORROSION TO THE MOUNTS. MOREOVER, I WAS TOLD BY THE NISSAN RECALL CENTER THAT I COULD NOT BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIRS I ALREADY HAD COMPLETED UNTIL I HAD THE RECALL WORK COMPLETED. SO, I AM BEING HELD HOSTAGE BY NISSAN. THEY WON'T MAKE GOOD THE REPAIRS THAT THE RECALL FORCES THEM TO MAKE UNLESS I PAY THEM MORE MONEY AND THEY WON'T REIMBURSE ME FOR REPAIRS ALREADY MADE BY ME THAT WERE NECESSITATED BY THE DEFECT THAT LED TO THE RECALL. THIS DOES NOT SEEM RIGHT TO ME AND I AM APPEALING TO YOU FOR REDRESS. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME. I DON'T THINK YOUR RECALL WENT FAR ENOUGH, BY THE WAY. LATER IN THE SUMMER OF 2014, THE REPAIR FACILITY TO WHICH I HAD TAKEN THE VERSA FOR THE STRUT WAS INSPECTING MY CAR AND INFORMED ME THAT THE CROSSMEMBER FOR THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, AS WELL AS THE LOWER RIGHT CONTROL ARM, WERE CORRODED TO THE POINT OF FAILURE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT THE WORKMANSHIP ON THIS CAR COULD BE SO SHODDY THAT PARTS WOULD RUST OUT IN SUCH A WHOLESALE FASHION - NOT UNTIL I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE. THAT REPAIR COST ME AN ADDITIONAL $1600 (ROUGHLY, EXCLUDING TAX). I CAN PROVIDE YOU WITH INVOICES FOR THESE REPAIRS, IF IT WILL HELP YOU UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM AND PERHAPS TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT OTHERS' CORROSION-RELATED TROUBLES WITH THE NISSAN VERSA.

CAR SEAT BELT ON PASSENGER SIDE WOULD NOT OPEN , THAT IS TO SAY THAT THE BELT WOULD NOT COME OUT OF THE THING IN WHICH IT IS PUT WHERE YOU PUSH THE RED BUTTON. SEVERAL STRANGERS TRIED TO HELP BUT IT WAS LOCKED AND PASSENGER WAS IN A VERY UNCOMFORTABLE TIGHT SITUATION ( THANK GOD HE DID NOT SUFFOCATE). AND THE BELT WOULD NOT COME OUT. PASSENGER WAS STUCK, UNTIL WE CUT IT. WE WISH FOR THE BELT TO BE REPLACED BY NISSAN AND SHOULD THEY WANT A RECALL -PLEASE LET US KNOW. *TR
