general problems of the 2007 Nissan Versa

Unknown? air bag light blinks all the time when vehicle is running. Steering controls on steering wheel does not work. Might be a malfunction. Not sure.

Due to rust corrosion on the underneath frame and carriage of this vehicle, the control arm on both sides has snapped out of place. This has affected my steering capabilities. It also almost caused a serious accident on the highway. I am lucky to be alive. The vehicle is with my mechanic and I will include as many pictures as I can. The recall states that the undercarriage of the vehicle may have unnecessary rust and unfortunately my pin number has been involved. The rust corrosion is so severe that the frame is literally rotting completely out. There is holes you can see through all over the frame of this vehicle. I feel as though Nissan not only put my immediate life in danger but also many other drivers on the road as well. I was in the air force and they are reactivating me back into service due to the covid. Problem is that I no longer have a vehicle that will get me from ohio down to mississippi.

Transmision was replaced by Nissan and only 30000 miles after replacement transmision broke down and car wont run.

Takata air bag recall, being charged to fix!! I have 2 airbag recalls. I've had a rental for 3 months while awaiting parts (expected spring 2018) on 12/19/07, adam ruehman, (service advisor) calls me & tells me he's getting "screamed at" because I've had the rental so long. He said that he had my airbag ready. I asked him if he had both, because that was strange. I called Nissan headquarters who confirmed that they did not have both airbags, only one. That I can take my car to fix one & keep the rental until they got the other one. I had to work so I had to wait until the morning. The next day,12/20, adam calls me telling me again, that they have both parts. Nissan hq calls again & tells me now, that the service dept said that they do have parts for both airbags. I bring my car in & adam tells me that it will be 300$ because I need a spring that is connected to the airbag & that's also the reason my horn doesn't work. I tell him that I don't have any money (xmas time) I'm single mom & broke. I said "so what do I do?" he said "sorry, we can still fix it, it just won't work" I didn't tell him he could repair my car without the spring that I was required to pay for. I was very upset & sent off in a courtesy van to go get the rental car & bring it back for them, expected to drive my car with a recall repair that was done incorrectly. I called Nissan hq & they told me that the case was forwarded to a higher department & it will be 24 hours & they couldn't help me. I called adam @dealership & told him that I'm not taking my car like that because it's unsafe to drive & not returning the rental until I hear from Nissan hq. He said ok. Shortly after, adam left me voicemails demanding to bring the rental back because the recall repair was "complete", & Nissan was not going to pay for any more rentals, to come pick up my car and they will charge me 35$ a day for the rental.

Cruise control electrical spring went out. Rear window defroster went out and the ac control for the defroster needs replaceing. The cruise control went out while I was driving. I do not know when the rear defroster went out.

Nissan recall my front coil spring broke on the driver's side. I had placed my car into drive, went to move the car forward and heard the part break and fall to the ground. I paid to get it replaced and it cost me over $1,000. I never received notification that this part was recalled. Found out today, March 2, 2019 that it was recalled after receiving notice of an airbag recall and immediately calling the given number.

I received a safety recall notice some time ago. So I looked it up on internet and it said that Nissan is awaiting parts to remedy the humdity problem in the air bag inflator. Maanufacturer noted to contact Nissan affairs that they failed or unable to remedy safety recall on my vehicle in a timely manner. I never received a second notice to bring in my vehicle, but had to look this information up on my own.

Over the course of the last 3 years, my 110,000 mile Versa stalls and does not start, randomly. Sometimes in driveway, sometimes stall mid-drive. Sometimes after driving highway or residential fine after turning off, and returning it won't start. Sometimes after this it will restart after taking a break and then trying again a third or fourth time. You never know. 4 mechanic shops, including Nissan dealership (twice) could not figure it out. No diagnostic is clear on the issue. One mechanic found a theft/security code come up, but both sets of keys work and both remote locks work. I called the lock reset people and they said it sounds more like a computer problem. Frustrating and dangerous. I do all the required and recommended maintenance and checks. This is bad.

Cvt transmission. Car will stop while in drive, with car already in motion, and need to be restarted in neutral. When shifted into reverse, car will not actually go in reverse for some time and generally not until the gas pedal is more firmly depressed and then eventually after 30 seconds or so will finally "lurch" into reverse. Then when shifting to drive, the car will start to go and then stall out again, needing to be restarted in neutral again. The fact that these instances occur with the car in motion is concerning and could lead to accidents. We have been very fortunate thus far to be in limited traffic when these instances have occurred but is an ongoing issue. Tried to research today and found that others have encountered similar issues.

The tire pressure monitor system, or tpms, on the 2007 Nissan Versa that I, and many, many others own, keeps failing. The tpms light on the dash will continuously blink, even when all four tires have the correct amount of pressure in them. My concern is that my tpms light stays on and it is not doing me any good. I have no way to tell if a tire is going flat while moving because the system is completely useless in the car.

The ball joint has broken off my car once (not while in an accident or on a pot hole), and has been replaced three times since the incident.

This vehicles hub caps all broke and fell off withing 20k miles. Now at 50k miles the muffler is rusted and needs to be replaced. Repair shop says they see these Versas all the time with the same issues.

The tpms sensors were all checked at costco and the reset by the technicians to relearn the program. They stated that if the tpms comes back on that I will need to take to a dealer to get it figured out since it could be the computer. Called the dealer to find out costs that they said the diagnostic would be $65 which would be credited for any services that need to be done. As this is a safety issue it cannot be not done but if this were also a federal safety mandated issue such as an airbag it should not "deploy" unless the tire pressure is low. Both times at costco and again when the light came on again the tire pressure was at the specified 33 psi. If an airbag were to be defective that would cause a danger to life and property but due to this safety measure not threatening life or limb it does not need to be zero defects and the user can get billed for any defects unlike an airbag.

Muffler rusted completely off past the rear muffler where the flange meets the exhaust pipe. This happened prematurely for the vehicle given it's mileage and can cause a road hazard to other drivers.

Upon opening door the handle feel completely off.

The door handle on the driver's side of my 2007 Nissan Versa came off in to my hand when I went to open the car door. This car has 38,807 miles on it. You can not open the driver's door from the outside and are reduced to crawling in over the gear shift from the passengers side to get in to the driver's seat. I am concerned that the driver's door can not be opened from the outside in case of an emergency or an accident. . Oddly enough I saw a girl in a shopping center yesterday. The driver's side door handle was missing from her care which is just like mine and I stopped to talk with her. . Our local dealer quoted prices of several hundreds of dollars. To repair my car as well as her car I feel that this problem should be covered under a recall. There seems to be some recalls on other Nissan's like the rogue that have a recall for the door handle falling off and only "service advisories" on others. I will never by a Nissan again. This is unacceptable. If you google this problem on this car there are a lot of postings from people that have had this same problem on this same car.

This vehicle had both reverse lights spontaneously stop working, replacing the reverse break bulbs did not work, the problem is electrical. The front passenger automatic window started to get stuck in the open mode, and now the window does not go down at all, could be a bad switch ($500 to fix). The driver door handle came off while opening the vehicle one day, $500 to fix and I am driving around without an attached handle. Holes starting appearing on floorboard on drivers side right where my heels go during accelerating and another hole where the clutch is, the floorboard appears to be made of cardboard. All of these things were already apparent by the time the car had about 40,000 miles. I wish I had not invested my money in this cheaply made automobile.
