2010 Nissan Versa Engine cooling Problems

“When I was driving back home from class approx 11:45 am, I turned on the air conditioned and the car slowed down and started shaking. I pressed the emergency light and pulled off the road to a shoulder. I wait a few minutes turned the car and it started shaking and making the loud noise. I turned off the air conditioning system and I drove home.”

“I purchased this car used from a dealership 11/3/2011, no problems whatsoever, had remainder of regular vehicle warranty left on it, no problems until the other day I thought it sounded louder than normal, so when I drove it yesterday it was still louder and I looked underneath and the muffler is loose and the exhaust sounds terrible. This is terrible for a not even three year old car with less than 30,000 miles on it!!! …”

“While driving home from work my 2010 Nissan Versa began to make a rumbling sound. It has sense grown to a roar while stopped with the car in drive. I took it to the dealer where I got it and they said the rear muffler assembly had broken loose and was rubbing on the frame causing the noise and vibrations in the driver compartment. Upon a brief internet search I have found that many other Nissan owners have experienced the same problem. Nissan claims it is due to road salt, but the only part that is rusting out is the flange leading to the rear muffler assembly.”

“Check engine light came on and turns out the evaporator had a crack in it so paid Nissan $1,500 to replace it with a non-genuine evaporator part. Then about six months later the check engine light came on with had AC at speed 4 when driving at any speed. Told the blower motor was bad and needed replacing at the cost of $1,500 to do it. Refused the work and ran blower motor on A/C at speed 3 for about a month then after that seemed to work at speed 4 as well with no check engine light coming on. …”

“Muffler assembly gasket/weld failed. Required replacement of muffler, gasket and tailpipe. Nissan dealer stated that this is a known problem with Nissan Versa however they do not warranty this.”
