2007 NISSAN VERSA Complaints

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE BACKING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY AT 2 MPH, FLAMES WERE NOTICED COMING FROM THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WHEEL WELL. THERE WAS NOTHING UNUSUAL ABOUT THE WAY THE VEHICLE HAD OPERATED PRIOR TO THE FIRE. THE CONTACT USED A FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT OUT THE FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CONTACTED, AND A FIRE REPORT WAS TAKEN. THE SOURCE AND TYPE OF FIRE WERE UNKNOWN. THE COMPONENT THAT CAUSED THE FIRE WAS UNKNOWN. THE GAS TANK WAS LOCATED ON THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT DEEMED THE VEHICLE TOTALED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, AND A VOICE MESSAGE WAS LEFT FOR A CALLBACK. THE SERVICE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THERE WERE PICTURES AVAILABLE.

CONTINUING PROBLEMS WITH THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM LIGHT STAYING ON DESPITE CORRECTING THE TIRE PRESSURE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH MANY NISSAN VERSA 2007 OWNERS AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER IN A RECALL. ALREADY HAD ONE TRIP TO THE DEALER FOR CORRECTION AT 3500 MILES. INCIDENT DATE SHOULD READ NOVEMBER 21, 207--LATEST INCIDENT OF TPMS LIGHT STAYING ON DESPITE CORRECTED ACTION TAKEN. *NM

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE, PER NEW NHTSA REGULATIONS, HAS FAILED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH A FAULT CONDITION DISPLAYED ON THE DASH LIGHT. NISSAN DEALER DOES NOT HAVE A PERMANENT FIX, THEY JUST "REREGISTER" THE SENSORS WHICH IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX. INITIAL FAILURE ON THIS VEHICLE OCCURRED AT 4216 MILES AND WAS "RE-REGISTERED", AND FAILED AGAIN AT APPROXIMATELY 5400 MILES. FAILURE PREVENTS TPMS SYSTEM FROM FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY - IT REPORTS AN ERROR WHEN ALL TIRES ARE OK, AND THE CONTINUOUS ERROR EFFECTIVELY DISABLES THE SYSTEM FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSE. *NM

PURCHASED 2007 NISSAN VERSA, INCLUDES THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEMS (TPMS) AS REQUIRED BY THE NHTSB. IN THE FIRST 2,000 MILES OF OWNERSHIP, THE SYSTEM HAS FALSELY TRIGGERED TWICE. IN BOTH CASES, TIRE PRESSURES WERE PER SPECIFICATION. NISSAN DEALER FOUND NO MECHANICAL ISSUES, EITHER WITH THE TIRES THEMSELVES OR WITH THE TPMS SYSTEM. *JB

I, ALONG WITH MANY OTHER VERSA OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE OF THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM. APPARENTLY,THERE IS NO PERMANENT FIX YET AVAILABLE,THUS RENDERING THE TPMS USELESS.

THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSYTEM ON MY 2007 NISSAN VERSA CONTINUALLY SHOWS A FAULT WHEN THE TIRE PRESSURE IS ACTUALLY CORRECT ON ALL 4 TIRES.

THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM, OR TPMS, ON THE 2007 NISSAN VERSA THAT I, AND MANY, MANY OTHERS OWN, KEEPS FAILING. THE TPMS LIGHT ON THE DASH WILL BLINK AND THEN STAY STEADY ON, WHICH NISSAN, IN THE MANUAL, SAYS IS A FAULT HAS OCCURRED IN THE TPMS MONITOR SYSTEM AND YOU HAVE TO TAKE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. NISSAN DEALERS HAVE NO FIX AND IT IS A CAUSE OF GREAT CONCERN. I HAVE ALREADY HAD THIS PROBLEM 'FIXED' ONCE AT 1100 MILES AND THEN PROBLEM RECURRED AT AROUND 2000 MILES. FOR A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF HOW WIDE SPREAD THIS ISSUE IS, PLEASE SEE HTTP://FORUMS.NICOCLUB.COM/ZEROTHREAD/203231 AND HTTP://FORUMS.NICOCLUB.COM/ZEROTHREAD/197348 I'VE CONTACTED NISSAN AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A DEALER PROBLEM. THE DEALER DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT AND IS WAITING ON NISSAN. MY CONCERN IS THAT MY TPMS LIGHT STAYS ON AND IT IS NOT DOING ME ANY GOOD. I HAVE NO WAY TO TELL IF A TIRE IS GOING FLAT WHILE MOVING BECAUSE THE SYSTEM IS COMPLETELY USELESS IN THE CAR. *NM
