“Takata recall (Nissan Versa hatchback) airbag light will not turn off in car. This relates to vehicle safety for any passenger in front seat of car in case of an accident. Have had to replace sensors and catalytic converter once and have been told recently I need the major catalytic converter replaced again. Sometimes an unusual smell comes from engine when I start car.”
NHTSA complaint #11048810, filed 2017-11, 120,000 miles“My Versa has had intermittent issues with starting, but in the past it always did. The main issue was that the engine was not getting fuel. Yesterday it quit all together and I am informed that it needs to be replaced to the tune of $600. There is a technical service bulletin for this issue, but Nissan says I have to pay for it.”
NHTSA complaint #10455000, filed 2012-04, 46,400 miles“I own a Nissan Versa 2008 hatchback. After I pull away from the gas pump, the car was losing its acceleration and then stall. I was trying to start again but it wouldn't turn over. The car was towed. I was told that the fuel pump went bad. My basic warranty expired two months ago (december 5, 2010). The fuel pump was recplaced at my expenses.”
NHTSA complaint #10383253, filed 2011-02, 35,135 miles“My car is almost five years old. I have had minor problems with it. My car had been stalling to start. I took it to get checked out. I am told my fuel pump needs to be replaced. My car is not under warranty anymore. I did research and found out this is a common problem for my car, and I am unlucky to have encountered it after my warranty was up. It was suggested to me to file an official complaint.”
NHTSA complaint #10477030, filed 2012-09, 80,000 miles“I have had this car for less than one week. The mileage is currently at about 275 miles. When I turn the key in the ignition, the car doesn't start until I hold the key turned for at least 5 seconds. This is very frustrating because it seems as if it will not start. This happens daily, whether it is hot or cold outside. It is not contingent on the time of day either.”
