2007 NISSAN VERSA Complaints

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW NISSAN VERSA IN AUGUST AND THE MILEAGE STATED ON THE CAR WAS 35/28. THE CAR IS ONLY GETTING 27/17 WHICH IS VERY POOR AND THE DEALER STATES THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. NISSAN REFUSES TO HELP STATING THAT THE WINDOW STICKER IS JUST AND ESTIMATE, BEWARE OF NISSAN. *TR

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP REPEATEDLY FOR THE FRONT END "POPPING" WHEN TURNING RIGHT. THE RIGHT STRUT AND BUSHING, RACK AND PINION, AND SWAY BAR HAS BEEN REPLACED. THIS VEHICLE STILL HAS A QUICK "POP" WHICH CAN BE FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN INITIALLY TURNING RIGHT. I FEAR SOMETHING MAY FAIL WHEN DRIVING AND LOSS OF CONTROL MAY OCCUR. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT EVEN NISSAN CANNOT SEEM TO FIX. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO NISSAN ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND AS YOU CAN SEE THEY HAVE REPLACED NUMEROUS PARTS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AND KNOCKED THE CONTACT UNCONSCIOUS. AS A RESULT, HE STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. BOTH THE DRIVER AND CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES. PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT CRANK AT ALL. NISSAN STATED THAT SOMEONE WOULD CALL THE CONTACT BACK, BUT HE HAS YET TO RECEIVE A RESPONSE. THE PURCHASE DATE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 11,696. UPDATED 4/23/08 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED UPON IMPACT AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH HIS 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. UPDATED 04/23/08 *TR

THE TPMS LIGHT COMES ON THOUGH TIRES ARE PROPERLY INFLATED. MANUFACTURER'S INSTRUCTIONS FOR RESET DO NOT WORK. I'VE HAD IT TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR THIS PROBLEM. THEY RESET IT, AFTER IMPLYING THAT AFTER 40+ YEARS OF DRIVING, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO INFLATE A TIRE. AFTER AWHILE IT COMES ON AGAIN. *TR

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM LIGHT KEEPS TURNING ON, EVEN IF ALL THE TIRE PRESSURE ARE WITHIN SPECS. *TR

MY SPECIFIC COMPLAINT IS FALSE ADVERTISING. WHEN I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE NISSAN ADVERTISED THE VEHICLE A VERSA WITH CVT TRANS AS GETTING 30/36 MPG. MY VEHICLE HAS NEVER GOTTEN ANYWHERE NEAR THESE FIGURES. MY LAST FILL UP, MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES WAS 22 MPG. THE SERVICE DEPT. STATES EVERYTHING IS RUNNING CORRECTLY IN THE ENGINE. IT IS FUNNY BUT NOW THE SERVICE DEPT TELLS ME THE MPG IS 28/33 NOT 30/36. I BOUGHT A CAR THAT I THOUGHT WAS GOING TO HAVE GOOD FUEL ECONOMY AND IT IS NOT MUCH BETTER THAN MY SUV. *TR

01/07/2008, SINGLE CAR ACCIDENT,VEHICLE WAS DAMAGED ON FRONT, REAR AND BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT SIDES AND ROLLED OVER TWICE COMING TO REST ON IT'S HOOD. NOT ONE OF THE 3 SAFETY AIRBAG RESTRAINT SYSTEMS DEPLOYED AT ANYTIME DURING THE ACCIDENT. *TR

A CLIP BROKE ON A UNIVERSAL JOINT ON MY WIFE'S 2007 NISSAN VERSA. GRENADA NISSAN OF GRENADA< MS SAID THAT IT WAS A RETAINER CLIP, AND THAT THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN HAD TO BE REPLACED...THIS WAS IN FEBRUARY, WITH LITTLE MORE THAN 800 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. IN NOVEMBER, THE CLIP BROKE ONCE AGAIN. MY WIFE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CANNON NISSAN IN GREENWOOD MS, WHERE THEY TOLD HER THAT IT WAS A "MANUFACTURER'S" CLIP, THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BREAK OFF! NOW, ONE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING US THAT A BOLT WILL BACK OFF WITHOUT THIS CLIP, WHILE THE OTHER DEALERSHIP IS SAYING THAT THIS CLIP IS NOT NEEDED! *TR

I HAD PURCHASED A NEW 2007 VERSA FROM STAR NISSAN ON 9/22/07. A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER, I FOUND OUT THE CD PLAYER WAS NON-FUNCTIONAL. A DAY OR TWO LATER, I REALIZED I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING THE CAR. ON 9/26, I BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. I WAS TOLD ON 9/27 THAT IT HAD A FAULTY FUEL PUMP AND THAT THE PART THEY NEEDED WON'T BE AVAILABLE UNTIL 10/10/07. OBVIOUSLY, IT IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR ME TO BE WITHOUT MY BRAND NEW CAR FOR A WEEK AND A HALF. *TR

2007 NISSAN VERSA WITH NUMEROUS ISSUES AND PROBLEMS. CUSTOMER STATES HE HAS HAD NUMEROUS AMOUNTS OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. SOME ARE AIRBAG LIGHT, AND SEAT BELT TENSION WIRING HARNESS. *KB THE CONSUMER STATED THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON WHEN HE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. *JB
