2008 NISSAN VERSA Complaints

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, WHEN I SAW SPARKS FLY ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF ROAD BESIDE MY CAR, THE ABS LIGHT AND ANOTHER LIGHT CAME ON THE DASHBOARD AND IMMEDIATELY WENT AWAY WHEN I BRAKED AND PULLED OFF HIGHWAY. I CHECKED TIRES AND EVERYTHING APPEARED OKAY. DROVE APPROXIMATELY 10 MORE MILES, HEARD A LOUD POP UNDER THE HOOD, CAR AND LIGHTS SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY. PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY, OPENED HOOD AND BATTERY WAS ON FIRE. VEHICLE HAS ORIGINAL BATTERY AND MILEAGE AROUND 51,000. CALLED FIRE DEPARTMENT TO EXTINGUISH FIRE AND THEY SAID SOMETHING LIKE THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE OCCURRED ON A VEHICLE THAT WAS PRETTY NEW. *TR

NISSAN 2008 VERSA WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY CAR STARTED TO LOSE POWER ,THEN SHUT OFF,CAR JUST CAME BACK FROM DEALER NOT FOR THIS PROBLEM ,BUT FOR LOSE OF POWER IN WHILE DRIVING A UPGRADE HILL THIS CAR IS ON SECOND REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION NOTIFIED NISSAN CORPORATE OFFICE NO ANSWER. *TR

NEEDS NEW FUEL PUMP JUST THREE DAYS IN. NEVER HAD PROBLEM WITH VERSA EVER AND THEN IT ALL OF A SUDDEN LEFT ME ON ROAD. THREE TOP MECHANICS ARE CONFUSED WHY MY 2008 ALREADY NEEDS A FUEL PUMP. THEY SAID THAT IT SHOULD NOT BE BROKEN AND THE PART IS ONLY AVAILABLE TO ORDER BECAUSE IT SHOULDN'T EVEN BE BROKEN THREE YEARS IN. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER FIRST AND THEY SAID I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE FUEL PUMP AND THEY DECLINED TO MENTION WHY OR HOW IT COULD HAPPENED. THEY SEEM LIKE THEY KNOW SOMETHING AND WONT SHARE. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 VERSA THAT IS REPEATEDLY HAVING ISSUES STARTING. I HAVE HAD EVERYTHING CHECKED AND IT SEEMS TO BE THE FUEL PUMP. I AM AFRAID I WILL END UP STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE WHEN IT FINALLY GOES OUT SINCE I AM HAVING TO TURN THE KEY FOR A FEW SECONDS BEFORE I CAN START THE CAR AND THAT IS IF I CAN EVEN GET IT TO START. IT SOMETIMES MAKES ME RUN OF GAS EVEN THOUGH I HAD PLENTY OF GAS IN THE CAR WHEN I ORIGINALLY TRIED TO START IT. SINCE I NORMALLY HAVE TO DRIVE A DISTANCE, THIS IS GOING TO LEAVE ME STRANDED ONE DAY AND I AM NOT SURE IF I LIKE HAVING TO PAY TO HAVE IT REPLACED WHEN I SEE THAT THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME CAR. *TR

WHEEL COVERS ON THE 2008 NISSAN VERSA DO NOT EVER SEAT PROPERLY ON THE OEM RIMS CAUSING THE WHEEL COVERS TO FLY OFF THE RIM WHEN DRIVING 50+MPH. *TR

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON EVEN THOUGH TIRES HAVE CORRECT AIR PRESSURE. *TR

MY TIRE SENSOR LIGHT COMES ON CONSTANTLY AND USUALLY HAPPENS RIGHT AFTER I GO TO GET SERVICE OF SOME NATURE. IT WAS ON WITHIN DAYS AFTER MY PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE AND HAS CONTINUED SINCE. I AM DILIGENT ABOUT CHECKING AIR PRESSURE IT IS ALWAYS WRONG. RECENTLY, MY TIRE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO A HUGE HOLE/GASH. I REPLACED 2 AND PUT THEM ON THE FRONT. I NOTICED MY DRIVERS SIDE TIRE ALWAYS LOOKED FLAT AND WHEN I WENT TO CHECK IT, THE METAL COVER WAS CORRODED AND REQUIRED PLIERS TO GET IT OFF. WELL SURE ENOUGH, THE ENTIRE TOP BROKE OFF LEAVING THE TIRE STEM EXPOSED. TOOK IT TO THE PLACE WHO PUT ON THE NEW TIRES AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE SENSOR. NOW I AM CONSTANTLY FILLING THE TIRES REGARDLESS OF TEMP AND NOW I HAD TO PAY TO REPLACE THIS SENSOR THAT IS CLEARLY NOT WORKING. MY FEAR IS THAT THE GASH IN MY TIRE HAPPENED AS A RESULT OF THE SENSOR. WAS IT ON AND I IGNORED IT BECAUSE IT IS ALWAYS WRONG? OR WORSE YET, DID THE DAMAGE COME FROM INSIDE? I AM NOT SURE BUT I CAN TELL YOU I WILL NEVER REPLACE ONE AGAIN. IT IS SAD THAT SOMETHING THAT IS DESIGNED TO BE A SAFETY FEATURE ENDS UP BEING IGNORED BECAUSE IT IS ALWAYS WRONG. MY DAUGHTER JUST STARTED DRIVING AND I EVEN TOLD HER TO IGNORE IT. THAT IS NOT A GOOD WAY TO START OFF DEALING WITH CARS. THANKFULLY NOTHING SERIOUS HAPPENED WHEN I WAS DRIVING. *TR
