TAKATA RECALL I WAS NOTIFIED LAST SUMMER ABOUT A RECALL ON THE AIR BAG AND WAS TOLD NOT TO HAVE PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE POTENTIALLY FATAL FLAW. THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AND I HAVE A FAMILY THAT NEEDS RIDES. I CONTACTED THE DEALER RECENTLY AND WAS TOLD THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS AND THAT NISSAN WASN'T ALLOWING THEM TO ORDER THE PARTS. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY TELL ME THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL SOME TIME IN 2017. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE RISK AND ARE NOT EXPEDITING THIS REPAIR TO BE PERFORMED. THEY BASICALLY GIVE ME THE IMPRESSION THEY DON'T CARE AND THEY ARE NOT IN A HURRY TO GET THIS DONE. I EXPECTED THIS POTENTIAL FATAL FLAW IN THE VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED ASAP NOT WHEN THEY FEEL LIKE IT. THIS NEEDS TO BE EXPEDITED BECAUSE IF ANYTHING DOES OCCUR AND THEIR IS INJURY OR DEATH IT IS ON YOU AND NISSAN FOR NOT GETTING THIS TAKEN CARE OF IN A VERY TIMELY MANNER. I ALSO HAVE THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM WHICH I UNDERSTAND NOW IS A FEDERAL REGULATION TO HAVE EQUIPPED ON VEHICLES. THIS SYSTEM IS VERY FAULTY AND DOES NOT WORK AND EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR. I THINK IF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO REQUIRE THIS THEY NEED TO MAKE SURE THE EQUIPMENT IS RELIABLE AND NOT A HIGH COST TO REPAIR.

I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AND I HEARD A LOUD SNAPPING NOISE FROM THE FRONT LEFT OF THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME AS NOTHING APPEARED TO BE BROKEN. WHEN I TOOK THE WHEEL OFF I NOTICED THE SPRING HAD SNAPPED AND WAS RUBBING AGAINST MY TIRE. I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE MY TIRE BECAUSE IT RUBBED OFF A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF RUBBER. I AM LUCKY THE TIRE DIDN'T BLOW WHILE I WAS DRIVING. *TR

2008 NISSAN VERSA HUBCAPS HAS FLOWN AWAY WHILE CRUISING IN HIGHWAY AT 60-65 MPH. THIS HAPPENED TWICE ALREADY. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I BROUGHT THE CAR TO SERVICE CENTER AND THEY CHECKED THE INSTALLATION AND EVERYTHING LOOKED OK. BOUGHT NEW HUBCAP AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN AFTER ~4 MONTHS. THIS IS POTENTIAL TO CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE AND DANGER TO OTHER VEHICLES. *TR

HELLO I HAVE A NISSAN VERSA 2008 WHICH HAS 22000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME IN LESS THAN 2 MONTHS IT FAILS ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. JUST STOP TAKING FUEL AND EVERYTIME THE DEALER IS SAYING THE PUMP NEEDS TO BE CHANGED. THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE NISSAN VERSA MODEL OF 2008 AND THEY SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT HAPPENED TO ME WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN STOP TAKING GAS AND I CANT STEER THE WHEEL. THANK GOD EVERYTIME THE HIGHWAY WAS EMPTY AND I COULD FIGHT WITH THE STEERING WHEEL (CAUSE THE CAR IS DOWN) TO TAKE IT TO THE SIDE ROAD AND CALL A TOW TRUCK. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE NISSAN VERSA FUEL PUMP PROBLEM...IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR
