DUE TO RUST CORROSION ON THE UNDERNEATH FRAME AND CARRIAGE OF THIS VEHICLE, THE CONTROL ARM ON BOTH SIDES HAS SNAPPED OUT OF PLACE. THIS HAS AFFECTED MY STEERING CAPABILITIES. IT ALSO ALMOST CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY. I AM LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. THE VEHICLE IS WITH MY MECHANIC AND I WILL INCLUDE AS MANY PICTURES AS I CAN. THE RECALL STATES THAT THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE VEHICLE MAY HAVE UNNECESSARY RUST AND UNFORTUNATELY MY PIN NUMBER HAS BEEN INVOLVED. THE RUST CORROSION IS SO SEVERE THAT THE FRAME IS LITERALLY ROTTING COMPLETELY OUT. THERE IS HOLES YOU CAN SEE THROUGH ALL OVER THE FRAME OF THIS VEHICLE. I FEEL AS THOUGH NISSAN NOT ONLY PUT MY IMMEDIATE LIFE IN DANGER BUT ALSO MANY OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD AS WELL. I WAS IN THE AIR FORCE AND THEY ARE REACTIVATING ME BACK INTO SERVICE DUE TO THE COVID. PROBLEM IS THAT I NO LONGER HAVE A VEHICLE THAT WILL GET ME FROM OHIO DOWN TO MISSISSIPPI.

I TOOK THE NISSAN VERSA 2007 TO HANOVER NISSAN AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT IS THE FUEL PUMP. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON THE ISSUE AND HAVE NOTICED THAT IT IS A RELATIVELY COMMON ISSUE ON VARIOUS NISSANS. HOWEVER, NISSAN REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AND DOES NOT ISSUE ANY RECALLS OR SERVICE BULLETINS SINCE IT COSTS $800 - $1,000 AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THEY JUST WANT TO MAKE MONEY SO THEY WILL NOT ISSUE AN SERVICE BULLETINS REGARDING THE FAULTY FUEL PUMPS. *TR

While driving, I was going about 25mph, but was coming to an intersection. Before getting to the intersection the light was blinking yellow due to the time so i started to slow down so i could yield through the light. At this time, my son who was 3yrs 2mo old (at the time) was in the backseat in his carseat. As I gradually stepped on the brake pedal, I then felt a big slam, and my face smacked the airbag and dust flew all over my vehicle, and son in the backseat who didnt have an airbag deploy. As I came to realize what happened my son was in the backseat screaming and i had smoke coming from my hood. I hit a city light pole outside of a 7-Eleven store. I was unsure of what happened that caused the accident, but after it happened I got out of my car in complete shock of what hit me. my son was in pullups, and the gel stuff inside the diaper had flew all over my car as it caused the seatbelt to tighten around his legs. I grabbed my son out of the car, because it was smoking and the first thing I should have done was not moved. When i got out of car to see what hit me, i stayed on the sidewalk and waited 35mins for a cop, so by the time the cop came, who never called ems, told me i was being cited and they took my vehicle to the impound lot. The car then was considered totalled and because I was in an accident, gasoline was leaking and they said it was considered hazardous. I didn't nor did my child receive medical attention because we did not have medical insurance at the time but the officer didnt call ems. I then had to pay to get my things from the vehicle from the impound lot, and they were treating me very poorly about what i could grab and what had to left with it. I also had to pay Court Costs, and fines and due to this accident, i have suffered trauma, and my son im sure has also. My body has major pains as well as my legs, hips, neck and severe lower back pain. I am unable to care for my child as he needs at times because my body hurts so bad, i cant help.

1. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? My passenger-side rear tire blew out, while I was driving on I-85 in NC. I have a photo of the tire while it was on the rack at the AAA repair shop. The temperature was normal outside, and I did not see any debris in the road. 2. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? This occured at 3:50 p.m. on a weekday, and the safety of myself and the drivers around me was at risk, when the tire blew out and it was difficult to control my car on the intersstate. 3. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? The car was towed to a AAA service center, and I have photos of the tire that blew out, as well as the driver's-side rear tire that is also deformed. 4. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No, but I emailed Toyo with a report that I thought there might be an issue on Nov. 9, 2023. I was towed to a AAA service center. I have photos and the reciept from having to replace both rear tires, and get a re-alignment. 5. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No. This was a sudden blow-out on the interstate while traveling. However, the car did begin shaking, so I was trying to pull to the slow lane when the tire blew out.

WHEN THE PROBLEM INITIALLY HAPPENED, I WOULD HAVE TO PUSH THE REAR DEFROSTER BUTTON HARD (AND SOMETIMES WIGGLE IT) IN ORDER TO MAKE IT WORK. HOWEVER, AFTER A WEEK OF DOING THAT TO GET THE SNOW, FROST, AND FOG OFF MY REAR WINDSHIELD, THE BUTTON NO LONGER WORKS (I.E. THE LIGHT INDICATOR DOES NOT COME ON, NOR DOES THE REAR DEFROSTER TURN ON). AFTER CHECKING ALL MY FUSES (IN THE HOOD AND CABIN) AND FINDING THAT THE FUSES WERE IN PERFECT WORKING ORDER, I BEGAN TO LOOK ON VARIOUS NISSAN VERSA FORUM SIGHTS TO SEE IF I COULD TROUBLESHOOT THE MATTER. AFTER TYPING MY PROBLEM IN, NUMEROUS NISSAN FORUMS POPPED UP DISCUSSING THIS EXACT PROBLEM. MANY PEOPLE HAVE STATED THAT THE REASON THE REAR DEFROSTER DOES NOT WORK IS DUE TO AN INFERIOR A/C CONTROLLER. I UNDERSTAND THAT TIMES ARE TOUGH AND COMPANIES WANT TO MAKE MONEY BY USING CHEAP PARTS, HOWEVER WHEN IT COMES TO SAFETY THIS SHOULD NOT BE THE ISSUE. *TR

THE HATCHBACK LOCK MECHANISM QUIT WORKING ON JULY 2 (106885 MILES). CAN ONLY BE OPENED WITH THE KEY FOB (NO KEY LOCK ON THIS MODEL), OR BY UNLOCKING THE BACK SEATS AND CRAWLING INTO THE TRUNK COMPARTMENT TO PULL THE MANUAL RELEASE. WHILE THIS IS A PAIN IN THE NECK, IT DOESN'T SEEM TO POSE A HAZARD. ON JULY 27 (108291 MILES) THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCK QUIT WORKING - TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY. THERE ARE FOUR WAYS TO OPEN THIS DOOR, WITH THE KEY FOB, THE ELECTRIC LOCK/UNLOCK MECHANISM ON BOTH THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND THE PASSENGER'S SIDE, AND FINALLY THE MANUAL LOCK/UNLOCK MECHANISM. ALL OF THESE QUIT WORKING AND THERE IS NO EXTERIOR MANUAL KEY LOCK TO ACCESS EITHER. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT OR AN EMERGENCY, THE PASSENGER HAS NO QUICK AND EASY WAY TO GET OUT OF THE CAR. THEY MUST EXIT THE SAME WAY THE ENTERED THE VEHICLE, BY CRAWLING OVER THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT AND WHEEL, EMERGENCY BRAKE AND TRANSMISSION SHIFT MECHANISM. MY WIFE DRIVES A TOTAL OF 64 MILES A DAY (TO AND FROM WORK) 10 DAYS A MONTH -- BY HERSELF, SO THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AND HATCHBACK HAVE NOT BEEN USED AS OFTEN AS ANOTHER CAR WITH OUR MILEAGE MIGHT BE EXPECTED TO HAVE BEEN USED.
