2007 NISSAN VERSA Complaints

FUZION TOURING 185/65R15 FUZTOUR BLEW OUT ON INTERSTATE 75 NEAR WILDWOOD FLORIDA. DRIVER SIDE FRONT. REPLACED UNDER PRORATED WARRANTY. SECOND TIRE FROM SAME SET BLEW OUT IN A VERY SIMILAR FASHION ON JUNE 6, 2014 ON INTERSTATE 75. LUCKILY, NO ACCIDENT OR INJURY. CONTACTED BRIDGESTONE AND THE TIRE CHOICE WHERE PURCHASED (BY PREVIOUS OWNER). SINCE I AM NOT THE PURCHASER, THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. MY PRIMARY CONCERN IS THAT TIRES WITH LESS THAN 11,000 MILES BLOW OUT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *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. I COPIED THIS FROM A PREVIOUS INCIDENT REPORTED. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM AND SHOULD RESULT IN A RECALL. *TR

WHEN I STARTED, THE CAR I WAS SURPRISED BY A LOUD SOUND. I CALLED THE MECHANIC WHO CAME TO MY HOME. IT TURNS OUT THE SOUND WAS THE MUFFLER. I HAD TO REPLACE A RUSTED MUFFLER FOR A CAR WITH LOW MILEAGE. THE CAR IS DRIVEN SHORT DISTANCES 1-2 TIMES A WEEK. *TR

I LOST TWO HUBCAPS. WHEN I DISCOVERED THE FIRST HUBCAP, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT REPLACED. I WAS TOLD THE COST WOULD BE $150.00. A YEARS LATER, I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET WHEN I LOST THE HUBCAP. ANOTHER DRIVER FOLLOWED ME UNTIL I STOPPED IN A PARKING LOT. THE COUPLE INFORMED ME WHERE I LOST THE HUBCAP. THEY INFORMED ME THEY HAD TWO SWERVE TO PREVENT THE HUBCAP FROM ROLLING INTO THEIR VEHICLE. I DECIDED TO CHANGE MY NISSAN DEALER SERVICE LOCATION TO HAVE MY CAR SERVICED. WHEN I ARRIVED TO HAVE AN OIL CHANGE, THEY ASKED ABOUT MY HUBCAPS. I TOLD THEM WHAT THE PREVIOUS SERVICE DEPARTMENT INFORMED ME. THIS NEW SERVICE DEPARTMENT INFORMED ME THAT THE HUBCAP WERE COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. THE ORIGINAL DEALER SHOULD HAVE NEVER TRIED TO CHARGE ME TO REPLACE THE HUBCAP. THE SECOND DEALER TRIED TO WORK SOMETHING OUT FOR ME SINCE MY CAR HAD LESS THAN 35K MILES. BUT, THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO. *TR

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK FROM THE SUNROOF INSTALLATION. ADDITIONALLY, THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING A LEFT TURN, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND COULD NOT BE SHIFTED INTO ANY GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER'S FRONT SIDE WHEEL FRACTURED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE AXLE WAS FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE CV AXLE AND THE LOWER RIGHT CONTROL ARM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED SHE EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE ON THE DRIVER'S FRONT SIDE WHEEL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

DURING A REGULAR SERVICING, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE FRONT COIL SPRING (DRIVER SIDE) HAD BROKEN. IT APPEARED THAT IT HAD BEEN BROKEN FOR SOME TIME DUE TO THE RUST EVIDENT THROUGHOUT THE BROKEN PIECE. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 16K MILES OF LIGHT SUBURBAN DRIVING, SO I FEEL A DEFECTIVE PART MUST HAVE BEEN USED IN THE MANUFACTURE OF THIS CAR. *TR

WHILE DRIVING OUR MUFFLER STARTED MAKING A CLUNKING SOUND, I PULLED OVER AND REALIZED MY MUFFLER WAS NOT ATTACHED TO THE EXHAUST PIPE ANYMORE, THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE TWO HAD RUSTED. BUT MUFFLER AND PIPE ARE NOT RUSTED AT ALL, JUST THE CONNECTION. I HAVE HEARD OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THEIR NISSAN DOING THE SAME THING, BUT NISSAN WONT TAKE THE BLAME AND RECALL THE COMPONENTS. PLEASE HELP. *TR
