2007 NISSAN VERSA Complaints

CLUTCH CABLE/CLUTCH PEDAL THE CLUTCH CABLE IS CONNECTED TO THE CLUTCH PEDAL WITH PLASTIC CAP THAT FITS OVER A METAL POST ON THE CLUTCH PEDAL ASSEMBLY. THE PLASTIC CAP WILL CHIP AND BECOME DISCONNECTED FROM THE CLUTCH PEDAL AND I WAS LUCKY BECAUSE THIS HAPPENED WHEN I WAS SHIFTING FROM A DEAD STOP IN NEUTRAL AND ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT INTO 1ST GEAR AND NOT ON THE FREEWAY OR GOING DOWN A HILL. PLASTIC? REALLY? *TR

PIPE FROM FRONT END OF MUFFLER FAILED AT FLANGE WELD DUE TO: (1) MECHANICAL STRAIN, THE MUFFLER PIPE SUPPORTS THE RESONATOR BY PULLING THE PIPE TIGHT; (2) LACK OF CORROSION INHIBITION; (3) POOR QUALITY WELDING, THE COMPONENTS APPEARED TO HAVE NOT BEEN CLEANED FIRST. ==DETAILS== [1] THE COMPARATIVELY HEAVY RESONATOR WAS SUPPORTED AT THE REAR ONLY BY THE PIPE SEGMENTS BETWEEN IT AND THE MUFFLER. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MECHANICAL FORCE, APPLIED TO A STRUCTURE NOT DESIGNED TO HANDLE IT. [2] ANY CAR SOLD TO PARTS OF THE USA THAT REGULARLY GET SNOW SHOULD HAVE CORROSION PREVENTION APPLIED TO ALL UNDERBODY COMPONENTS BY DEFAULT. NOT DOING SO IS NOT ONLY A POOR BUSINESS DECISION BUT ALSO INCREASES THE LIKELIHOOD OF PARTS FALLING OFF AND LANDING IN THE ROAD. [3] WELDS TO UNDERBODY COMPONENTS SHOULD BE WELL INSPECTED, AS IF THEY BECOME SEPARATED PARTS OF THE VEHICLE MAY CEASE TO FUNCTION PROPERLY OR DEPART FROM THE VEHICLE ENTIRELY, RESULTING IN A SAFETY ISSUE. ==FINAL NOTE== THIS FORM DOES NOT RETAIN FORMATTING, MAKING THE REPORTS UNDULY DIFFICULT TO READ. *TR

AFTER 50,000+ MILES THE GASKET AND MUFFLER HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO POOR METAL AND WELDING CONSTRUCTION. THIS IS THE ONLY PART ON THE UNDER CARRIAGE THAT IS RUSTED. SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE AND SHOULD WARRANT A RECALL ON AT LEAST THE 2007 MODELS. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2007 NISSAN VERSA IN 2007. IN 2008, I BEGAN TO NOTICE INTERMITTENT STARTING PROBLEMS(HARD TO CRANK ENGINE); THE CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER PROLONGED CRANKING ATTEMPTS. IN MAY 2008, I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO UNDERGO DIAGNOSTICS AND REPAIR; THEY FOUND THE PROBLEM TO BE A FAULTY FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR AND REPLACED THE PART UNDER WARRANTY, FIVE MONTHS LATER, THE PROBLEM REAPPEARED. I TOOK MY NISSAN VERSA BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THE SAME REPAIR, IN NOVEMBER 2009, AND THE DEALER REFUSED TO REPAIR MY CAR BEING THAT I WAS ROUGHLY 2,000 MILES OVER MY WARRANTY PERIOD. SINCE THEN THE CRANKING PROBLEM WITH MY NISSAN VERSA HAS BECOME MORE PREVALENT AND AS A RESULT I'VE RECENTLY HAD MY FIRST BATTERY REPLACEMENT BECAUSE I DESTROYED MY ORIGINAL BATTERY FROM EXTENSIVE CRANKING! THE NISSAN CORP. AND NORTH AMERICAN NISSAN SHOULD HONOR THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FOR A SERIOUS ISSUE! *TR

VEHICLE WAS LEFT IDLING IN DRIVEWAY. AFTER A FEW MINUTES A PASSERBY KNOCKED ON HOME DOOR TO ADVISE CAR WAS ON FIRE. FIRE DEPT RESPONDED BUT FIRE SMOTHERED. INSURANCE CLAIM WAS FILED. VALUE OF CLAIM DID NOT WARRANT HIRING ORIGIN AND CAUSE EXPERT HOWEVER PHOTOS SEEM TO SHOW FIRE ORIGINATING IN LEFT REAR INTERIOR POSSIBLY IN HEADLINER NEAR C PILLAR. DAMAGE SUGGEST WIRING DEFECT. VEHICLE HAD NO HISTORY OF COLLISION DAMAGE. VEHICLE HAD NO HISTORY OF WIRING REPAIR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TURNING LEFT AND DOWNSHIFTING TO 20 MPH, THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE BECAME UNCONTROLLABLE AND THE CONTACT SWERVED SEVERAL TIMES. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DECELERATE AND MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE BUT THEN CRASHED INTO A CURVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL BODY REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE TRACTION CONTROL FAILED, CAUSING THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

NISSAN VERSA 2007 FRONT COIL SPRING SNAPPED. THE CAR WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY.AS WE BACKED UP HEARD LOUD CLUNCK PIECE OF COIL WAS ON GROUND. LUCKY TO BE IN DRIVEWAY AT TIME IT HAPPENED. TOOK CAR TO MONROES THE TRIED TO GET PART NO GOOD WENT TO DEALER. THEY FIRST SAID 2 DAYS TO GET PART . DID NOT HAPPEN. NOT THE PART HAS AN UNKNOWN ETA. NISSAN DEALER PARTS PERSON SAID THERE WE 584 COILS ON BACK ORDER. THIS PROBLEM SEEM TO BE METAL DEFECT WHEN THE SPRING WAS MADE. REALLY HARD TO BELIEVE NISSAN DOES NOT HAVE ANY IN STOCK.THEY ARE STILL PRODUCING VERSAS SO WHY NOT GET THE COIL SPRINGS FROM THE ASSEMBLY PLANT. IT IS COSTING A LOT OF MONEY TO RENTAL A VEHICAL WITH NO REPAIR IN SITE. MAYBE THIS NEED TO BE A RECALL ON THIS PART. I HAVE A PIECE OF THE COIL IF NEEDED FOR ANALIZING. THANKS *TR

NISSAN VERSA 2007-> TRAVELING ON A HWY APPROXIMATE SPEED 110 KMS/HOUR, SLIDING OFF THE ROAD AND OVER STEERING MY VEHICLE RESULTING IN 8.5 ROLLOVERS. MY PASSENGER AIR BAGS DEPLOYED ABOVE HEAD PANEL SUCCEEDED ONLY IF THERE WAS PASSENGER IN MY VEHICLE. LONG STORY SHORT, WHY WERE MY DRIVER BAGS, STEERING WHEEL, SIDE HEAD PANEL NOT DEPLOYED? THIS HAPPENED A COUPLE DAYS AGO. SINGLE VEHICLE ACCIDENT. IM THE ONLY OCCUPANT IN THE VEHICLE. THIS INVESTIGATION IS GOING ON. PRIOR TO THIS ACCIDENT. THE DOOR SOUNDED HALLOW WHEN IT WAS SHUT AND NOT REALLY A FIRM SOLID SHUT LIKE MOST DOORS. SOUNDED MORE LIKE AND OLD RUSTED 85 CHEVY SILVERADO DOOR LIKE AN EMPTY ECHO INSIDE SOUND. COULD THIS CAR BEEN TAMPERED WITH BEFORE? CARFAX CAN ONLY PROVE IT IF IT WAS PROPERLY DONE AND SUBMITTED. PERHAPS A PERSON WHO KNEW HOW TO FIX IT WITH OUT SUBMITTING INFORMATION TO PROPERLY SECURE A NON ACCIDENT HISTORY REPORT. LEMON FOR SURE ON THE AIR BAG ISSUE. I CAN ONLY SAY THAT ITS GOOD TO BE ALIVE AND SEE MY KIDS AGAIN. *TR

LEFT FRONT COIL SPRING BROKE. CAR WAS PARKED IN GARAGE AND WHEN IT WAS STARTED IN ORDER TO BACK OUT OF THE GARAGE, THERE WAS A BANGING SOUND. I GOT OUT TO SEE IF I HAD HIT ANYTHING ON THE GARAGE AND FOUND A PIECE OF THE SPRING ON THE GARAGE FLOOR. SPRING WAS REPLACED. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN VERSA SL HATCHBACK THAT HAS 55,000 MILES. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW. I STARTED TO NOTICE THAT THE MUFFLER WAS GETTING LOUDER AND TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE MUFFLER FLANGE HAD RUSTED COMPLETELY THROUGH AND I SHOULD TAKE IT TO A DEALER. THE MUFFLER SHOP SAYS HE HAS SEEN HUNDREDS OF THESE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS ON NISSAN PRODUCTS. NISSAN OF COURSE SAYS IT WILL COST HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO REPAIR AND SAYS THAT IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND BLAMES IT ON ROAD SALT. THE CAR IS SO LOUD I FINALLY HAD TO GET IT FIXED. *TR
