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

PURCHASED CAR JULY 2007. IN SPRING 2008, FUEL PUMP REPLACED DUE TO CAR (A) GETTING POOR GAS MILEAGE (B) TAKING 2-3 CRANKS TO START (C) FEELING LIKE NO POWER WAS GETTING TO THE PEDAL. STARTED HAVING ISSUES AGAIN FEBRUARY 2009. WENT ON A TRIP MARCH 2009 FOR TWO WEEKS. WHEN I RETURNED, THE CAR TOOK 5 MINUTES TO START WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS AFTER CRANKING AT LEAST 5 OR 6 TIMES. TAKING TO THE DEALER NEXT WEEK. TODAY, STARTED FINE, BUT NO POWER BEHIND PEDAL AND POOR MILEAGE. SHOULD HAVE KEPT MY BEAT UP TRUCK, WHICH WAS JUST AS RELIABLE. *TR

CAR LOST POWER GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. AFTER I STOPPED THEN CAR DID START UP AGAIN. DEALER HAD NO IDEA WHAT COULD BE WRONG. I'VE READ ONLINE ABOUT THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP. THIS IS A 2007 NISSAN VERSA SL HATCHBACK. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2007 NISSAN VERSA. THE LAST WEEK I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT IN WAS BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT START. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A FUEL PUMP. IT WAS REPLACED. AFTER I GOT THE CAR BACK IT STARTED TO HAVE NO POWER WHEN I PUSHED ON THE GAS PETAL. BECAUSE OF THIS I WAS ALMOST HIT SEVERAL TIMES TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT AND THE RPM'S WOULD BE VERY HIGH. IF SOUNDED LIKE THE MOTOR WAS GOING TO BLOW UP. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE SHOP AGAIN AND NOW THEY ARE CLAIMING THAT IT IS A MASS …
