3 Engine Exhaust System problem of the 2009 Nissan Versa

Failure Date: 08/14/2019

For many years*, the exhaust from my Nissan Versa has made me sick (nauseous and headaches) similar to how vw exhaust would make me sick. I am concerned that Nissan vehicles may be cheating on inspections checks like vw was doing. Exhaust from many other vehicles may smell, but this particular exhaust is sickening. Our vehicle passes emission standards for MD each year and we always keep it well maintained. So again, I am concerned they have software that works to fool emissions testing by changing the exhaust allowed when hooked up to an emissions testing computer. For a point of reference, my parents own a 23 year old Ford explorer (also well maintained) whose exhaust does not cause me sickness. Thank you for considering this issue! form is requiring a single date, but this has been continuously making me sick each time we run the vehicle (it does not abate with mileage or weather conditions) since 2011-2012.

6 Engine Exhaust System problem of the 2007 Nissan Versa

7 Engine Exhaust System problem of the 2007 Nissan Versa

Failure Date: 04/21/2011

I have a 2007 Nissan Versa sl hatchback that has 55,000 miles. I bought this vehicle new. I started to notice that the muffler was getting louder and took it to a repair shop and I was told that the muffler flange had rusted completely through and I should take it to a dealer. The muffler shop says he has seen hundreds of these same exact problems on Nissan products. Nissan of course says it will cost hundreds of dollars to repair and says that it is not under warranty and blames it on road salt. The car is so loud I finally had to get it fixed.

While driving on my road I heard a louder than usual exhaust noise. Inspection at my home revealed the flange on the exhaust pipe right before the muffler has rusted and completely separated. Taking it to muffler shop to have a new pipe welded on where separation occurred. Approximate cost was quoted at $100. 00. I have read of numerous Nissan Versa and Nissan murano owners with the same issue.
