2007 NISSAN VERSA Complaints

THE CAR AS MANY OTHERS HAVE BEEN NOTED FOR THE YEARS 2007 AND 2008 HAS BEEN TO THE SHOP TO CORRECT THE CRANKING NO START PROBLEM. AS PER NISSAN TECHNICAL BULLETIN THE FUEL REGULATOR WAS REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM OCCURRED THE NEXT DAY AND HAS CONTINUED TO DO SO. THE DEALER HAS NO IDEA WHAT THE CAUSE IS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT WAS TRAVELING 35 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED AND COULD NOT BE RESTARTED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT OBSERVED BLACK SMOKE AND FLAMES COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE POLICE WERE CONTACTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 75,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS, ALONG WITH DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR THE VEHICLE FINALLY STARTED. THE FAILURE RECURRED OCCASIONALLY FOR OVER A YEAR UNTIL THE VEHICLE WOULD NO LONGER START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PERSONAL MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS AND WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL PUMP WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 120,000.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT SPRING BROKE ON MY 2007 NISSAN VERSA. LUCKILY, I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY (ABOUT 30MPH) ON A QUIET ROAD (NO BIG POT HOLES OR BUMPS). I HEARD A HUGE POP AND THEN HAD TROUBLE STEERING. AFTER PULLING IT INTO A GAS STATION, I QUICKLY NOTICED THAT THE ENTIRE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WAS NEARLY RESTING ON MY FRONT TIRE. LUCKILY, THE TIRE WASN'T COMPROMISED BY THE SPRING/BODY. THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVABLE AND HAD TO BE TOWED. FROM MY KNOWLEDGE OF CARS, SPRINGS TEND TO LAST FOR THE LIFETIME (OR BEYOND) OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND UNEXPECTED. *TR

DASH BUTTON FOR REAR DEFROSTER DOESN'T WORK AT ALL AND A/C BUTTON IS FAULTY. A/C WORKS IF YOU APPLY EXTREME PRESSURE AND WIGGLE THE BUTTON. *TR

HUBCAPS ARE FAULTY. ALL OF THEM HAVE FALLEN OFF OVER A PERIOD OF 4 MONTHS. REPLACEMENT (NON NISSAN) WERE PUT ON AND NO PROBLEMS HAVE HAPPENED OVER 50K ON THOSE. *TR

MY MUFFLER ON MY 2007 VERSA ROTTED OFF THE MAIN PIPE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE VERSAS. WHY IS NISSAN NOT RECALLING THESE FAULTY PARTS. NOW I HAVE TO SHOP AROUND AND HOPE TO GET A GOOD PRICE WITH REPLACING THE MUFFLER. I AM SURE I WILL BE BACK AND SAY THE TAIL PIPE HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE HAVE REPLACED THAT PART ALREADY TOO. *TR

THE CAR SHUT OFF AS WE WERE DRIVING, AND I HAD TO COAST IN A VERY BUSY FREEWAY...THE ENGINE JUST DIED. VERY STRESSFUL SITUATION BECAUSE I WAS ON A HIGHWAY AND I HAD TO COAST UNTIL OFF THE HIGHWAY..THEN TO RESTART THE CAR IT TOOK AT LEAST 15 MIN OF TRYING...I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A BATTERY ETC, BUT I DID TAKE TO THE DEALER AND NOTHING WAS NOTICED,,,,FROM THEN ON I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES IN STARTING THE CAR, OR IN THE MORNING OR WHEN I LEAVE WORK AT 2 AM ETC...SO I THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY MY CAR, BUT I NOTICED THAT THERE ARE OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM...STARTING THE ENGINE AND OR JUST DYING AS WE ARE DRIVING..I AM LEARNING THAT IT IS A PROBLEM WITH A FUEL PUMP...BUT IT SEEMS THAT NISSAN DOESN'T CARE OR IT IS NOT IMPORTANT TO THEM...PLEASE THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION.. *TR UPDATED 06/22/2012 *JS

TOOK THE CAR IN FOR OIL CHANGE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE RACK AND PINION IS BAD. I LISTENED TO THE NOISE AND THAT SOUNDS CORRECT. AFTER THE PART WAS REPLACED THE STEERING MAKES MORE NOISE, CLANKS AND STUTTERS AT LOW SPEED TURNING. MECHANIC NOW SAYS REPLACEMENT PART WILL COST TWICE AS MUCH AS NISSAN HAS A VIN SPECIFIC PART. CHECKED THE MESSAGE BOARD AND NOW SEE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR VERSA'S '07 TO '10. *TR

ON 3/18/2011 I HAD TO HAVE MY WHOLE MUFFLER SYSTEM REPLACED BECAUSE IT BECAME SEPARATED FROM THE ENGINE AT THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AT 119K MILES. (I'M NO CAR EXPERT.) THEN TODAY I HEAR THE SAME LOUD NOISES AND MY VEHICLE SHAKING JUST LIKE A YEAR AGO. RIGHT NOW MY CAR IS AT 138K MILES. I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW IN JULY OF 2006. I'M TAKING MY CAR IN TOMORROW TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AGAIN AND I WILL BE VERY SURPRISED IF IT IS A DIFFERENT ISSUE. I'M WORRIED ABOUT DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY MUFFLER SYSTEM COMING OFF AND CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I'M NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING MY CAR IN THE STATE THAT IT IS IN AND I'M DEFINITELY NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING WHILE PREGNANT WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD SON IN THE CAR. I'M NOT TOO HAPPY ABOUT HAVING TO SHELL OUT ANOTHER $700 TO GET THIS FIXED WITHIN A SPAN OF 13 MONTHS! BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE I WILL NOT BE BUYING ANOTHER NISSAN VEHICLE. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED, I HAVE READ SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUES. NISSAN CLAIMS IT'S SALT DAMAGE. IN THE PAST YEAR, I HAVE NOT DRIVEN ON ANY SALTY ROADS SINCE HAVING MY VEHICLE FIXED, SO I CAN'T SEE HOW IT CAN BE BLAMED ON SALT. OUR WINTER WAS SO WARM OUR ROADS DIDN'T EVEN GET SALTED THE WINTER SEASON AFTER I GOT MY MUFFLER SYSTEM FIXED THE FIRST TIME. I'VE ALSO READ THAT NISSAN - CANADA IS FIXING IT AS A MEASURE OF GOODWILL ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS. I'D LOVE FOR NISSAN TO FIX MY CAR TOO SINCE THIS WILL BE THE SECOND TIME I'M HAVING TO FIX THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. I KEEP MY CAR WELL MAINTAINED AND THIS IS THE ONLY ISSUE THAT I'VE HAD THAT HAS BEEN RECURRING WITH MY VEHICLE AND HAS BEEN A MAJOR CONCERN FOR ME. *TR
