I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK TAKING SAME ROUTE AS I'VE DONE FOR THREE YEARS. IT WAS MY FIRST TIME DRIVING A RECENTLY PURCHASED 2007 NISSAN VERSA HATCHBACK. I MOVED INTO THE TURN LANE AND APPLIED BRAKES TO TURN A 90 DEGREE CORNER. THE BRAKES FAILED. I HAD TURNED THE WHEEL ANTICIPATING A NORMAL TURN HOWEVER THE CAR KEPT MOVING STRAIGHT AHEAD. THE CAR JUMPED A CONCRETE ISLAND AND CAME TO REST. I KNEW IMMEDIATELY THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE DRIVER SIDE ALTHOUGH THE DAMAGE WAS UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO AN AUTO REPAIR FACILITY APPROX ONE HUNDRED YARDS FROM THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT. POLICE CAME BUT NO CITATION WAS ISSUED. DAMAGE INCLUDES A BROKEN FRONT AXLE, DAMAGE TO SUSPENSION, WHEEL ETC. I CONTACTED NISSAN TO DETERMINE IF MY VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN THE FAULTY BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR CAP RECALL. NISSAN STATES IT IS NOT. THE BRAKES FAILED AND THERE'S NO EXPLANATION. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STARTED THE IGNITION, AND OBSERVED THAT THE "TRACTION CONTROL" WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS SHUT OFF. THE CONTACT INFLATED THE FOUR TIRES TO THE CORRECT AIR PRESSURE AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000.

ON JUNE, 2008 I PURCHASE NISSAN VERSA FROM AN INSURANCE AUCTION. THE DAMAGES ON THE VEHICLE WERE ON REAR END, AND FRONT BUMPER WAS MISSING. NO DAMAGES ON THE FRONT. I PERSONALLY FIXED THE BODY DAMAGES AND PRESENT THE VEHICLE TO SALVAGE INSPECTION. THE VEHICLE SUCCESSFULLY PASSED THE TEST AND WAS REGISTERED WITH RESTORE SALVAGE TITLE. ODOMETER WAS SHOWING LITTLE OVER 12000MI. THE FIRST 1000MI. I DIDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS. WHEN THE VEHICLE REACHED ABOUT 13000MI. I NOTICED A CLUNKING AND KNOCKING NOISE IN THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE AND I FELT IT IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM PASSENGER SIDE. ALL THESE ISSUES ARE ACTING WHEN THE VEHICLE IS DRIVING SLOWLY AND MAKING RIGHT TURN GOING UP ON THE DRIVEWAY OR DOWN ON THE DRIVEWAY. I ASKED THE DIALER IF THE CAR IS STILL COVERED WITH MANUFACTURE WARRANTY ALTHOUGH IT HAS RESTORE SALVAGE TITLE. THE ANSWER CLEARLY NO. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE NET FOR RECALLS AND SURPRISINGLY I FOUND FORUMS WHICH DISCUSS THE SAME PROBLEMS. DESPITE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE NET AND EVEN AFTER THE DEALER ACTS AND TRIES TO FIX THE VEHICLES BY REPLACING MULTIPLE PARTS AND COMPONENTS THE PROBLEM ARE STILL EXISTING. ALL THIS IS VERY DISAPPOINTING AND I DON'T SEE ANY REASONS TO VISIT THE DEALER AND TRUST THEM TO FIX IT. I DIDN'T SEE ANY RECALL INFORMATION FOR THE PROBLEMS LISTED ABOVE. I'M EUROPEAN CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND I'M WORKING WITH DIFFERENT VEHICLES, BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN SUCH A PROBLEM! I INSPECTED MY VEHICLE MULTIPLE TIMES AND COULD NOT FIND ANY REASON FOR THIS NOISE. TODAY 07/08/2010 TWO YEARS AFTER I FIRST NOTICE THIS PROBLEM THE NOISE IS MUCH LOUDER. I STILL CAN'T FIND ANY REASON FOR THIS NOISE. IT SEEMS LIKE NISSAN DEALERS DON'T HAVE CLEAR ANSWER WHICH PART CAUSES THIS NOISE. PLEASE TAKE ALL THIS INTO CONSIDERATION AND INVESTIGATE FURTHER THIS ISSUE. PLEASE NOTE THERE HAS NOT BEEN ACCIDENT WITH THIS VEHICLE YET BECAUSE OF THE WRITTEN ABOVE. TO FILL THIS COMPLAINT I'M PUTTING TODAY'S DATE. *TR
