Fuel Pump problems of the 2008 Nissan Versa

Tried starting the car; engine would not turn over. Was stranded in a parking lot close to my mechanic's shop and called him. Mechanic sent his assistant to the parking lot where I was and he tried to get the car to turn over. He said he thought the engine was not getting fuel. Car was towed to mechanic and it was determined that fuel pump was broken. Mechanic had difficulty finding a replacement Nissan fuel pump. Fuel pump was obtained and installed at my expense. Mechanic felt that fuel pump should not have had to be replaced on a 5 year old car.

Fails to start unless cranked for a long time. Symptoms indicate a fuel pressure regulator problem or fuel pump failure. Nissan parts dept says there is no fuel pressure regulator.

I have a 2008 Versa that is repeatedly having issues starting. I have had everything checked and it seems to be the fuel pump. I am afraid I will end up stranded in the middle of nowhere when it finally goes out since I am having to turn the key for a few seconds before I can start the car and that is if I can even get it to start. It sometimes makes me run of gas even though I had plenty of gas in the car when I originally tried to start it. Since I normally have to drive a distance, this is going to leave me stranded one day and I am not sure if I like having to pay to have it replaced when I see that there are other people with the same issue with the same car.

The contact owns a 2008 Nissan Versa. The contact stated that while driving 5 mph or above, the vehicle would suddenly stall without any warning. The vehicle was inspected by an independent mechanic who advised him that he needed to replace the fuel pump. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 35,100.

The engine is very difficult to start on the first attempt. My 2008 Nissan Versa hatchback has about 20000 km on it an has had the fuel pump replaced once already under warranty by the dealer about one year ago. Now I am encountering the same problem again. If you leave the ignition turned on for 15 to 30 seconds then the car will start. I suspect the fuel pump has a problem building up sufficient pressure to deliver fuel to the car and that is why it will start on a second attempt.

Hello I have a Nissan Versa 2008 which has 22000 miles on it. This is the 4th time in less than 2 months it fails on me in the middle of the highway. Just stop taking fuel and everytime the dealer is saying the pump needs to be changed. There is a defect in the Nissan Versa model of 2008 and they should be recalled. It happened to me while driving 60 mph and all of a sudden stop taking gas and I cant steer the wheel. Thank god everytime the highway was empty and I could fight with the steering wheel (cause the car is down) to take it to the side road and call a tow truck. Please investigate the Nissan Versa fuel pump problem. . . It is a safety hazard and it should be recalled.

My 2008 Nissan Versa abruptly slows from 60 mph to 30 mph and gradually slows to a stop. This only occurs after I have driven between 70 to 150 miles. It has happened 3 times. Nissan has replaced the transmission and the fuel pump but the car still fails and I am afraid to drive it on an interstate.

Engine will not start on first attempt. . . . Just dry cranking. On the second try, it usually starts. My 2008 Versa only has 2,300 miles. The problem is getting worse with each day. I have read reports that replacing the fuel pump solves the problem temporarily, but often times people have had multiple fuel pumps replaced after very short periods of time. Nissan needs to fix this!!!.

Needs new fuel pump just three days in. Never had problem with Versa ever and then it all of a sudden left me on road. Three top mechnics are confused why my 2008 already needs a fuel pump. They said that it should not be broken and the part is only available to order because it shouldnt even be broken three years in. I took it to the Nissan dealer first and they said I would need to replace fuel pump and they declined to mention why or how it could happened. They seem like they know something and wont share.

After vehicle runs for a while, then left to sit for about 1-1/2 hours, starting the vehicle becomes difficult. Long crank time. Took to dealer where purchased. Was told by Nissan vehicle did not apply to TSB ntb-07-094. Nissan technical support told technician to measure fuel drop after running vehicle, then let sit for 30 minutes. Measure the fuel pressure. If less then 30 psi, replace the fuel pump and packing. Fuel pressure measured at 12 psi. Ordered parts, but packing is on backorder.

Very hard to crank. This is a intermittent problem, but it is also getting worse.
