“My 2007 Nissan Versa is having issues starting, I've brought it to the dealership a few times to get fixed and im being told that there is nothing wrong with it. Those only happens occasionally, when I try to start it just constantly cranks for a few second... It will do this a few times before it actually does crank.”

NHTSA complaint #10569457, filed 2014-03, 40,000 miles“I have owned this car since I bought it new in sept.2006. Never have had any problems and have kept it serviced, on oct 02, 2020 I went to store and back home about 8 miles total, parked in yard, approx. 10 minutes later alarm went off and key fob would not dissarm it so I opened the hood and the whole firewall was on fire, and flames bellowing from underneath, I immediately ran and got a fire extingusher andd completely used the large cannister to put fire out. The car is a total loss and very scarey and upsetting that this could happen from a parked car.”

Sometimes in driveway, sometimes stall mid-drive. Sometimes after driving highway or residential fine after turning off, and returning it won't start. Sometimes after this it will restart after taking a break and then trying again a third or fourth time. You never know.4 mechanic shops, including Nissan dealership (twice) could not figure it out. No diagnostic is clear on the issue. One mechanic found a theft/security code come up, but both sets of keys work and both remote locks work. …”
