2007 NISSAN VERSA Complaints

MUFFLER DETACHED FROM EXHAUST SYSTEM AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. OTHER EXHAUST SYSTEM COMPONENTS VISIBLE UNDER THE CAR (INCLUDING CATALYTIC CONVERTERS) WERE OBSERVED TO BE RUSTY ENOUGH TO SUGGEST FUTURE PREMATURE FAILURE.

EXHAUST SYSTEM RUSTED CLEAR THROUGH AT FLANGE BETWEEN PIPE AND MUFFLER. THIS IS FAR TOO SOON FOR A CAR THAT HAS LESS THAN 50000 MILES ON IT. *JS

EXHAUST SYSTEM FAILURE. THE MUFFLER BROKE OFF AT THE FLANGE THAT CONECTS IT TO THE REST OF THE EXHAUST PIPE, THIS WAS A FAILURE OF THE PIPE ITSELF. THE CAR HAS NO OTHER SIGNS OF RUST OR BREAKDOWN, BUT THE PIPE JUST SEVERED AT THE POINT WHERE IT ATTACHES TO CONNECTING FLANGE. *TR

THERE SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM STARTING MY 2007 NISSAN VERSA (CVT) IN THE MORNINGS. DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME BUT WHEN YOU GO TO START IT COLD THE CAR WILL NOT START AND SOMETIMES TAKES UP TO 30 SECONDS TO START. OTHER TIMES YOU CAN BE DRIVING AT AROUND 25 MPH AND THEN THE CAR HESITATES AND THE SPEEDOMETER DROPS TO ZERO AND THE CARE HESITATES FOR ABOUT 3-4 SECONDS AND THEN PICKS BACK UP. I TOOK TO ABQ RELIABLE NISSAN AND THEY SAY THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT I CAN SEE BY THE NISSAN FORUMS THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. IT'S NOT SAFE (CAR HESITATING IN TRAFFIC) AND NOT STARTING IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT THE HONDA FIT! *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON FLORIDA TURNPIKE SOUTH BY EXIT 54 WHILE RAINING REALLY HARD, THE LANE I WAS HAD BRAND NEW ASPHALT AND MY CAR HYDROPLANNED AND HIT THE WALL REALLY HARD BY IT SELF THE SPUN AND HIT ANOTHER CAR HARD AT 40MPH THEN OTHER CARS HIT I HAD A TOTAL LOST AND MY AIRBAGS DID NOT WORK AT ALL. I AM 20 YEARS OLD MY DAUGHTER IS 4 I WAS COMING BACK FROM COLLEGE THANKS TO GOD MY DAUGHTER WASN'T IN THE CAR AND NOTHING HAPPENEND WITH US. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD BANGING NOISE ON THE MUFFLER. THE CONTACT EXIT THE VEHICLE, INSPECTED THE MUFFLER AND NOTICED THAT IT HAD SEPARATED FROM THE PIPE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER NOR WAS IT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

MY CAR SEAT BELTS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND MY AIR BAGS WARNING LIGHTS ARE FLASHING. I CONTACTED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA AND ASKED THEM ABOUT ANY RECALLS FOR THIS CAR AND THEY SAID NO. HOWEVER, I WENT ON -LINE TO SEVERAL WEBSITES, SUCH AS WWW.INTERNETAUTOGUIDE.COM AND FOUND THAT THEY ARE RECALLS ON MY 2007 NISSAN VERSA 4DOOR HATCHBACK SINCE JUNE 18, 2007 DUE TO A MANUFACTURING PROCESS WITH REGARDS TO THE TERMINALS FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT TENSION SENSOR HARNESS CONNECTOR WHICH RESULTS IN A LOSS OF ELECTRICAL CONTINUITY CAUSING THE OCCUPANT DETECTION SYSTEM TO BECOME INOPERATIVE. THE CONSEQUENCE: IF THIS OCCURS, THE AIR BAGS WARNING LIGHT WILL COME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONTAL AIR BAG WILL BE SUPPRESSED. PLEASE ADVISE. ADDITIONALLY, I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW JULY 20, 2007 AND WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THIS. THE RECALL ID#64288 AFFECTED UNIT 16309. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE SUN VISORS (L AND R) WILL NOT STAY UP ON THE HOOK, THEY FALL DOWN. PARTIALLY BLOCKING FORWARD VIEW. NEITHER VISOR WILL HOLD AT ANY POSITION, INCLUDING STORED. THEY CONTINUE TO DROP DOWN. I AM PRESENTLY USING VELCRO TO SECURE THE VISORS IN A STORED OR UP POSITION. THERE IA NO APPARENT MEANS OF ADJUSTMENT, AND THE DEALERS WANT $200 PLUS TO FIX. I HAVE NEVER HAD AN AUTOMOBILE HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THE SUN VISORS, AND I HAVE OWNED AT LEAST 11 CARS SINCE 1956. *TR

THE ENTIRE CONTROL PANEL WENT OUT. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR, IT APPEARS THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL. MORE REPAIRS FOR A CAR THAT IS ONLY A FEW YEARS OLD AND NOT EVEN PAID OFF. BEGAN WITH THE SUSPENSION RIGHT AFTER THE WARRANTY WENT OUT. WHAT A PIECE OF POOH! *TR

ON 11/11/11 MY VERSA S LOST IT'S FRONT RIGHT HUBCAP WHILE DRIVING TO WORK, I WAS DRIVING ON A PAVED RURAL ROAD AND A GUST OF WIND TOOK IT OFF (NO BUMPS).

DURING THE INCIDENT ON 11/11 THE ENTIRE HUBCAP WAS LOST (SPRING STEEL FRAME & PLASTIC COVER), DURING THE INCIDENT ON 11/16 THE STEEL RETAINER AND 6 CONNECTING (RIBS) WERE LEFT ATTACHED TO THE WHEEL WHILE THE PLASTIC DISC PART OF THE HUBCAP SHEERED AWAY.
