BRAKES SEEMED LATENT IN COLLISION, HAD TO PUMP BRAKES ON NEW CAR TO AVOID ACCIDENT, 3 TIMES. BRAKES SUFFICIENTLY LOCKED, BUT TOO LATE TO AVOID COLLISION. SKID MARKS FROM 120 FEET AT 50 MPH IMPACTED VEHICLE AT 35 MPH. DRY CONDITIONS SUNNY DAY. 65 FAHRENHEIT. I BELIEVE THE BRAKES ON THIS VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN SUFFICIENT AND WORKED PROPERLY TO AVOID COLLISION. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM PRIOR TO OWNING A VEHICLE MADE BY NISSAN. THIS WAS THE FIRST AND LAST VEHICLE BY NISSAN I WILL DRIVE.*AK

I HAD PURCHASED A NEW 2007 VERSA FROM STAR NISSAN ON 9/22/07. A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER, I FOUND OUT THE CD PLAYER WAS NON-FUNCTIONAL. A DAY OR TWO LATER, I REALIZED I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING THE CAR. ON 9/26, I BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. I WAS TOLD ON 9/27 THAT IT HAD A FAULTY FUEL PUMP AND THAT THE PART THEY NEEDED WON'T BE AVAILABLE UNTIL 10/10/07. OBVIOUSLY, IT IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR ME TO BE WITHOUT MY BRAND NEW CAR FOR A WEEK AND A HALF. *TR

MY SPECIFIC COMPLAINT IS FALSE ADVERTISING. WHEN I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE NISSAN ADVERTISED THE VEHICLE A VERSA WITH CVT TRANS AS GETTING 30/36 MPG. MY VEHICLE HAS NEVER GOTTEN ANYWHERE NEAR THESE FIGURES. MY LAST FILL UP, MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES WAS 22 MPG. THE SERVICE DEPT. STATES EVERYTHING IS RUNNING CORRECTLY IN THE ENGINE. IT IS FUNNY BUT NOW THE SERVICE DEPT TELLS ME THE MPG IS 28/33 NOT 30/36. I BOUGHT A CAR THAT I THOUGHT WAS GOING TO HAVE GOOD FUEL ECONOMY AND IT IS NOT MUCH BETTER THAN MY SUV. *TR

PURCHASED IN APRIL 2007, 2007 NISSAN VERSA WITH <30K MILES HAS SUDDENLY BEGUN HAVING WHAT APPEAR TO BE CVT ISSUES. IT IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM AND AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE IN THE DEALERSHIP TWICE, THEY ARE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. WHEN IN OPERATION, DRIVER TRIES TO ACCELERATE AND ALTHOUGH RPMS WILL RAISE SIGNIFICANTLY (I.E. 4000), THERE IS NO INCREASE IN SPEED, EVEN WITH THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THIS HAS OCCURRED IN FREEWAY AND SURFACE STREET TRAFFIC. THEY HAVE RUN ALL THEIR USUAL DIAGNOSTICS, BUT SAY THERE IS NOT…
