2010 Nissan Versa Fuel system Problems

Fuel pump failed with no notice while traveling on the interstate causing the engine to stop running. I was lucky that I was able to coast off the highway on to the shoulder. This occurred at night on a section of I-10 with a 75 MPH speed limit. If I had not been able to limp off the highway it would have been very dangerous. My Nissan Versa only has 75,000 miles and is well maintained. No warning lights or OBD codes were present before or after the failure. Replacing the fuel pump assembly fixed the problem.

CAR IN MOTION ON NJ STATE HIGHWAY 94, SPARTA, NJ. CAR HAD 39K MILES. THE FUEL PUMP FAILED ON A TWO-LANE HIGHWAY WITH NO SHOULDERS, BUT WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER INTO SOMEONE'S DRIVEWAY. IT WAS A SUNDAY AFTERNOON, 8/30/2015, BUT WAS ABLE TO GET TOWED THROUGH AAA. SITUATION WAS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT IS A BUSY HIGHWAY. A FUEL PUMP FAILURE OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING, IS DANGEROUS, AND SHOULD NOT OCCUR IN A VEHICLE THAT HAS A NISSAN DEALER'S REGULAR SERVICE RECORD, IS UNDER 40K MILES, AND DRIVEN ONLY BY TWO PEOPLE IN THEIR 70'S. RECEIPT FOR REPAIRS IS AVAILABLE IF REQUESTED.

FUEL PUMP SHUT OFF THE CAR WHILE DRIVING AND LEFT STRANDED AT 18,000 MI., ENGINE BLOWN AT 25,000 MI., NOW FORT WAYNE NISSAN WANTS TO JERK ME AROUND ON A FRONT SUSPENSION PROBLEM. THE CAR MAKES A WOBBLE SOUND WHEN TAKING OFF AFTER STARTUP THAT THEY SAY IS A ABS SAFETY TEST. PROBLEM IS IT NEVER MADE THAT SOUND BEFORE, AND ONLY AFTER ENGINE REPLACEMENT. NOT ONLY DO THEY SAY THE SOUND IS NOTHING THEY SAY THE CAR DOESN'T WOBBLE AND REFUSE TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PARTS WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. ITS ALMOST LIKE THE BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING TOO. I PAID THEM 500$ FOR FRONT BRAKES AND THE CAR STILL STRUGGLES TO STOP AND I ASSUME THAT IS BECAUSE OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION PROBLEMS. I AM SO AFRAID THAT THE SPRINGS ARE BAD JUST LIKE I SEE IN THE FORUMS. MY DAD OWNED THIS CAR FIRST PUT THE FIRST 6K MILES ON IT. THIS HAS BEEN A LEMON SINCE THE DAY I GOT IT WITH 6K MILES ON IT. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE. I HAVE 7 KIDS AND AM TERRIFIED THAT THIS IS BEING ALLOWED TO HAPPEN. PLEASE HELP, THIS WHOLE COIL SPRING STRUT ASSEMBLY PROBLEM IS OUT OF CONTROL, PEOPLE ARE GETTING HURT ! I HAVE ALREADY HAD 4 OPEN BACK SURGERIES AND CANNOT GO THROUGH ANOTHER.

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING A NEW 2010 NISSAN VERSA IN 2011 I NOTICED THAT EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN AT ABOUT 15 PLUS MPH THERE WAS A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS. IF THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PUSHED THERE WOULD BE A HEAVY FELT VIBRATION. TWICE IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE FRONT END SHOOK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE SHOP THREE TIMES AND DIFFERENT PARTS WERE REPLACED/REPAIRED. THEY DID NOT SEEM TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. ON THE FOURTH AND SUBSEQUENT TIMES I COMPLAINED, THEY SAID IT WAS THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM SELF CHECK SYSTEM CAUSING THE PROBLEM AND IT WAS NORMAL. THE DEALERSHIP (JEFF WYLER NISSAN OF FAIRFIELD .OHIO REFUSED TO CORRECT THE DEFECT. THE MANUFACTURER REFERRED ME BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP STATING THAT IT WAS NORMAL PER THE DEALERSHIP. THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO TEST DRIVE OR CHECK OUT THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS LIKE THE NISSAN CORPORATION LIKES TO OPERATE THE SAME WAY AS GENERAL MOTORS DOES IN MY OPINION. THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR AND THE HECK WITH THE CONSUMER. *TR

THERE WAS NO ACTUAL ACCIDENT, BUT I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED. ON NOVEMBER 8TH I WAS JUST STARTING ON THE HIGHWAY, SO NOT EVEN AT SPEED LIMIT, WHEN I FELT THAT PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR IT HESITATED. I NOTICED IT A FEW MORE TIMES AND THEN THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID TO RETURN A WEEK LATER FOR THE EARLIEST SERVICE APPOINTMENT, BUT THAT IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. ONCE IN FOR SERVICING, I WAS NOTIFIED THAT IT WOULD NEED A NEW FUEL PUMP BECAUSE THERE WAS A LEAK. I SPOKE TO ANOTHER COMPANY AND THEY SAID IT SEEMED ODD THAT FOR SUCH A NEW CAR, IT WOULD NEED A NEW FUEL PUMP. THEY ALSO SAID THAT HAVING MY SPEED AFFECTED WAS VERY DANGEROUS. MY CAR IS A LITTLE OVER 75,000 MILES. I AM UNSURE WHAT TO DO IN SUCH A SITUATION AND FEEL THAT FOR SAFETY REASONS THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED, ESPECIALLY HAVING READ OF OTHER SUCH ISSUES WITH NISSAN VERSAS ONLINE. *TR
