Brought the car in August 2011. At every service I would report of knocking noise as if the car was in need of oil. I was repeatedly told that there is/was nothing wrong with the car. Again in August 2012; I complained about the noise one of the new tech's looked at the car and it was determined that my engine was gone and they needed to replace it which they did do. The only thing I have to ask should the warranty start over? ## VIN passed ## 2011 Nissan Versa ##.
Approximately 2 months after I purchased my 2011 Nissan Versa I noticed a knocking sound under the hood. It almost sounded as though the car was low of oil but this wasn't the case. I took it to the Nissan dealership and was told that "the valves or valve sleeves were cut too long during the machining process of the motor and they were tapping against the bottom of the motor". He explained to me that this should not cause any problems, however. . . After reading several other stories of what sounds like the same symptoms and then having to have the motor replaced I decided to write this in hopes of an investigation of a possible recall.
