2010 Nissan Versa UNKNOWN OR OTHER

THE GEAR/SHIFT SELECTOR WON'T ALWAYS GO INTO PARK, DRIVE OR REVERSE CORRECTLY. WHEN THE CAR IS PUT IN PARK, IT WILL SHOW ON THE SHIFT SELECTOR AND THE DASHBOARD BUT IT'S HARD TO GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION, THE KEY WILL GET STUCK. WHEN THE CAR IS PUT IN DRIVE, IT WILL SHOW ON THE SHIFT SELECTOR AND THE DASHBOARD BUT IT WON'T IMMEDIATELY MOVE WHEN THE FOOT IS PUT ON THE GAS PEDAL. THE SHIFT SELECTOR HAS TO CONTINUOUSLY BE PLAYED AROUND UNTIL IT WORKS BUT IT ONLY WORKS ON A TEMPORARY BASIS.

FAN KNOB FOR AC/HEATER AT FIRST WOULD NOT MOVE THEN FELL OFF. MECHANIC SAID THAT THE CONNECTOR IN BACK OF CONTROL HEAD HAD MELTED. THEY SAID THEY WERE SURPRISED IT DIDN'T CATCH THE CAR ON FIRE. I HAD TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR NEW TIRES, TUNE UP, COOLANT FLUSH AND BECAUSE OF THE KNOB FALLING OFF.

MY KEYLESS REMOTE WILL NOT OPEN OR UNLOCK THE TRUNK.

THE METAL HEAT SHIELD PLATE SEPARATING MUFFLER AND FUEL TANK (?) IS DETACHED FROM THE BODY OR FRAME BY CORROSION (OF THE SCREWS). IT NOT ONLY MAKE SEVERE RATTLLING NOISE WHENEVER ENGINE RUNS BUT ALSO MAY CAUSE FIRE AND EXPLOSION IF THE PLATE IS COMPLETELY LOST WHILE THE CAR IS DRIVEN ON THE ROAD. THE PLATE IS NOW BARELY HUNG ON THE MUFFLER.

CARS EXHAUST IS MADE OF VERY POOR METAL. JUST AFTER 4 YEARS MUFFLER RUSTED OFF FROM CONNECTION. REPLACED MUFFLER ON 03/25/14 WITH AFTERMARKET ONE. SPRING OF 2015 I NOTICED EXHAUST NOISE BECAME LOUDER AGAIN. AFTER INSPECTION FOUND THAT MID PIPE RUSTED OFF AT CONNECTION TO MUFFLER, AND ANOTHER LEAK IN CAT CONVERTER SECTION OF EXHAUST. MY VERSA HAS 71K MILES AND NEEDS WHOLE NEW EXHAUST. MY MOM HAS SAME VERSA AND SAME PROBLEMS. I DO NOT THINK THAT THIS IS COINCIDENCE IN MANY FORUMS VERSA OWNERS COMPLAIN ABOUT SAME PROBLEMS. LOOKS LIKE NISSAN WENT VERY CHEAP ON MATERIALS FOR THIS MODEL CARS. I HAD MANY OTHER MANUFACTURERS VEHICLES AND NONE HAD SAME ISSUES.

THE MUFFLER ON MY CAR HAS RUSTED AND BROKEN A CLEAN CUT. NISSAN SHOULD WARRANTY THIS. THEY CLAIM ITS FROM DRIVING SALTED ROADS BUT WHILE I WAS IN THE WAITING ROOM TWO OTHER CUSTOMERS WALKED IN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS IS A WARRANTY ISSUE. THEY WANTED OVER $500 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER REPAIR SHOP TO HAVE THE SAME WORK DONE FOR ONLY $200. THEY HAVE TO NOW REPLACE MY MUFFLER AND FLANGE. THE REPAIR SHOP SAID IT LOOKS LIKE THEY USED BAD MATERIALS ON THE MUFFLER AND THAT THEY HAVE SERVICED MANY 2008-2011 VERSA'S THIS YEAR WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. IT BREAKS OFF RIGHT AT THE PART WHERE THE PIPE MEETS THE EXHAUST. THIS IS TERRIBLE. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER AND STRUGGLING AS IT IS TO GET BY WITHOUT HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT FAULTY OR POORLY MADE PRODUCTS. THEY SHOULD RECALL THE VEHICLES AND REPLACE THESE PROBLEMATIC PARTS. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING WEST ON RT. 9 IN WEST CHESTERFIELD NH. A LARGE, WHITE, UNMARKED BOX TRUCK BEGAN TAILGATING ME. IT WAS QUITE ALARMING, BECAUSE THE TRUCK WAS VERY LARGE AND HE WAS VERY CLOSE BEHIND ME. I WAS TRAVELING 5 MPH ABOVE THE SPEED LIMIT AND HE WAS DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO MY BACK BUMPER. AT ONE POINT, I'M SURE THERE WAS LESS THAN ONE CAR LENGTH BETWEEN US. IT LOOKED LIKE A BUSINESS TRUCK, BUT THERE WERE NO MARKINGS. THE LICENSE PLATE WAS FROM CONNECTICUT, NUMBER K97642. THE DRIVER WAS ALSO SWERVING BEHIND ME, AS IF HE WAS CONSIDERING PASSING. IT MADE ME FEEL VERY UNSAFE.
