“Muffler rusted through and cracked through normal driving. I was lucky that the pieces did not come apart on highway and cause an accident. Seems like a product defect that the only part of the car undercarriage that rusted is the muffler. Had just had the car serviced by Nissan who did not ever warn me that anything was out of the ordinary with the muffler. Now I'm forced to pay almost $600 for the repair.”
NHTSA complaint #10610393, filed 2014-07, 75,000 miles“My exhaust started to make a lot of noise when I turned the car on, the muffler was rattling. When I checked underneath the car it looked like the muffler had came loose. I took it to the shop and they showed me where the exhaust had rusted through and is detached from the muffler. I researched , that Nissan Versa exhaust system is known to per-maturely rust, a lot of people are having to replace the exhaust system or muffler due to cheap parts.”
NHTSA complaint #10608294, filed 2014-07, 68,300 miles“Vehicle does not start right away. It occurs at least once a day. I took my vehicle to Nissan service department four times, no problem has been found. The service department replaced a fuel regulator assuming that was the problem, but the problem still have not fixed.”
NHTSA complaint #10244254, filed 2008-10, 152 miles“When I went to proceed through an intersection after being stopped for a red light my car suddenly lost power. It made clunking noises and even though I kept giving it more gas I barely made it through the intersection. I then steered into the shoulder and turned off the car, waited a few minutes and started it again. The engine started but I still had noises and no power to move forward. I had the car towed to the dealership where I bought it new and have all the routine maintenance done. …”
NHTSA complaint #10411302, filed 2011-07, 30,434 miles“I was pulling out of a wawa after fueling up when the check engine light came on the car stalled in the middle of the road. I had to push it to the side. The road is normally busy thank god this did not occur during the busy time. I got the car to the dealership I explained to them my issues they repaired it by resetting the engine module thing. I just took the car back in middle of march due to the car riding rough service light back on and the engine is making a lot of noise. The car had 30379 miles on it at this point. …”
