general problems of the 2009 Nissan Versa

Takata recall - the car blew up on the side of the road - was driving heard a pop, pulled over to the side of the road seen fire from under car then car blew up.

Muffle rusted through and cracked through normal driving. I was lucky that the pieces did not come apart on highway and cause an accident. Seems like a product defect that the only part of the car undercarriage that rusted is the muffler. Had just had the car serviced by Nissan who did not ever warn me that anything was out of the ordinary with the muffler. Now I'm forced to pay almost $600 for the repair.

My exhaust started to make a lot of noise when I turned the car on, the muffler was rattling. When I checked underneath the car it looked like the muffler had came loose. I took it to the shop and they showed me where the exhaust had rusted through and is detached from the muffler. I researched , that Nissan Versa exhaust system is known to per-maturely rust, a lot of people are having to replace the exhaust system or muffler due to cheap parts.

When applying the brakes at a low speed the vehicle accelerated to approximately half a throttle for about 10 seconds, everything went back to normal after this incident. This happened 2 other times with the same results. Each incident was about a week apart.

I was driving and all of a sudden the car lost pressure on the gas paddle and wouldn't take gas. When the car started back it would run for about 3 seconds and cut off, it eventually stopped cranking. So I had to have it towed.

Vehicle accelerates to a high speed with slight tap or will not accelerate at all.
