Example complaints

“While driving our muffler started making a clunking sound, I pulled over and realized my muffler was not attached to the exhaust pipe anymore, the connection between the two had rusted. But muffler and pipe are not rusted at all, just the connection. I have heard other complaints about their Nissan doing the same thing, but Nissan wont take the blame and recall the components. Please help.”
NHTSA complaint #10552027, filed 2013-11, 105,000 miles“My muffler on my 2007 Versa rotted off the main pipe. After doing some research I found out this is a common problem with the versas. Why is Nissan not recalling these faulty parts. Now I have to shop around and hope to get a good price with replacing the muffler. I am sure I will be back and say the tail pipe had to be replaced because many people have replaced that part already too.”
NHTSA complaint #10460201, filed 2012-05, 83,000 miles“While driving on my road I heard a louder than usual exhaust noise. Inspection at my home revealed the flange on the exhaust pipe right before the muffler has rusted and completely separated. Taking it to muffler shop to have a new pipe welded on where separation occurred. Approximate cost was quoted at $100.00. I have read of numerous Nissan Versa and Nissan murano owners with the same issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10365382, filed 2010-11, 32,000 miles“On 3/18/2011 I had to have my whole muffler system replaced because it became separated from the engine at the front of the vehicle at 119k miles. (I'm no car expert.) then today I hear the same loud noises and my vehicle shaking just like a year ago. Right now my car is at 138k miles. I bought the car brand new in july of 2006. I'm taking my car in tomorrow to have it looked at again and I will be very surprised if it is a different issue. I'm worried about driving on the highway and my muffler system coming off and causing an accident. …”
NHTSA complaint #10456360, filed 2012-04, 119,304 miles“I have a 2007 Nissan Versa sl hatchback that has 55,000 miles. I bought this vehicle new. I started to notice that the muffler was getting louder and took it to a repair shop and I was told that the muffler flange had rusted completely through and I should take it to a dealer. The muffler shop says he has seen hundreds of these same exact problems on Nissan products. Nissan of course says it will cost hundreds of dollars to repair and says that it is not under warranty and blames it on road salt. The car is so loud I finally had to get it fixed.”
