2008 NISSAN VERSA Complaints

MY 2008 VERSA HATCHBACK HAS TWO VERY LONG CRACKS IN THE ORIGINAL FACTORY WINDSHIELD. BOTH CRACKS ORIGINATE AT THE EDGE OF THE WINDSHIELD, WITH NO ROCK SCAR OR DAMAGE OF ANY SORT. APPEARS TO BE STRESS CRACK OR MASSIVE DEFECT IN GLASS WORKMANSHIP. BOTH CRACKS APPEARED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED FOR HOURS. ACCORDING TO DEALER, THIS IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. BIG SHOCK THERE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HORN DOES NOT BLOW WHEN YOU TAP IT ON CERTAIN POSITIONS. THE INABILITY TO ALERT OTHER DRIVERS INCREASED THE RISK OF VEHICLE CRASH. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND A TECHNICIAN CONCLUDED THAT THE FAILURE WAS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 483 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 12900.

MY 2008 NISSAN VERSA ABRUPTLY SLOWS FROM 60 MPH TO 30 MPH AND GRADUALLY SLOWS TO A STOP. THIS ONLY OCCURS AFTER I HAVE DRIVEN BETWEEN 70 TO 150 MILES. IT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. NISSAN HAS REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AND THE FUEL PUMP BUT THE CAR STILL FAILS AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT ON AN INTERSTATE. *TR

HELLO I HAVE A NISSAN VERSA 2008 WHICH HAS 22000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME IN LESS THAN 2 MONTHS IT FAILS ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. JUST STOP TAKING FUEL AND EVERYTIME THE DEALER IS SAYING THE PUMP NEEDS TO BE CHANGED. THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE NISSAN VERSA MODEL OF 2008 AND THEY SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT HAPPENED TO ME WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN STOP TAKING GAS AND I CANT STEER THE WHEEL. THANK GOD EVERYTIME THE HIGHWAY WAS EMPTY AND I COULD FIGHT WITH THE STEERING WHEEL (CAUSE THE CAR IS DOWN) TO TAKE IT TO THE SIDE ROAD AND CALL A TOW TRUCK. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE NISSAN VERSA FUEL PUMP PROBLEM...IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

FRONT AXLES "CLICK" WHEN MAKING TURNS. CVT TRANSMISSION CUTS OUT OR STALLS WHEN MAKING TURNS AND/OR ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. OCCURRENCE IS 3-5 X WEEKLY. I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE 9-10 TIMES. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE FRONT AXLES AND TRANSMISSION WITH NO IMPROVEMENT. *TR

WE HAVE A 2008 NISSAN VERSA AND BOUGHT IT WITH 6 MILES ON IT. THE CAR NOW HAS 60000 MILES ON IT AND THERE IS WHITE RESIDUE AROUND THE CRANKCASE AND BACK PRESSURE IN THE MOTOR. WE HAVE GONE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY IT NEEDS A WHOLE NEW ENGINE. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WE COULD HAVE DONE TO CAUSE THIS ISSUE. NISSAN IS NOT HELPING US VERY MUCH SO FAR, WE WERE HOPING YOU ALL COULD HELP OUT. EVERYONE WE HAVE TALKED TO SAYS IT IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. *TR

MY HUSBAND AND I WAS DRIVING THE HIGHWAY AND OUR 2008 NISSAN VERSA LOST POWER. WHEN WE PULLED OVER, MY HUSBAND LIFTED THE HOOD AND FOUND THE DIPSTICK HAD CAME OUT AND OIL WAS ALL OVER THE ENGINE. OUR CAR WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THE NEXT AFTER NISSAN NORTH AMERICA WOULD NOT FIX OUR CAR CLAIMING IT WAS OUR FAULT . WE ONLY HAD OUR CAR FOR 8 MONTHS AND WE BROUGHT IT BRAND NEW! WE HAD MANY HEATED ARGUMENTS WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND NISSAN NORTH AMERICA. THEN AFTER 23 DAYS AFTER THEN THEY CALLED ME WANTING TO PUT A NEW ENGINE IN OUR CAR . I REFUSED BECAUSE I WANTED A REFUND BECAUSE WE HAD TO BUY A 30 YEAR OLD TRUCK TO GET BACK AND FORTH FROM WORK. *TR

DRIVER SIDE RESTRAINT. NO RESISTANCE ON SUDDEN STOP. MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED AND THEY DID NOT A THING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. ALSO THE DEALER HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING. IAM AFRAID THAT SOME DAY I MAY BE PROPELLED THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. *TR

ON JAN 27TH 2009 A PICK-UP ATTEMPTED A LEFT TURN DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME. I HIT THE PICK-UP IN THE PASSENGER DOOR DOING ABOUT 25 MPH. THE AIR BAG ON MY 2008 NISSAN VERSA DID NOT DEPLOY AND I STRUCK MY HEAD CAUSING A CONCUSSION. *TR
