7 Steering Noise problem of the 2009 Nissan Versa

Failure Date: 06/06/2014

During the month of may 2014 the Versa started to make clicking noises at the front of the car especially when I applied the brakes. The sounds got worse and the car was not performing well. I took it to the service station in my neighbourhood and the person who repaired my car had to replace the 2 front strut mounts, 2 front coil springs and align the 4'wheels! the car only had 5420 miles on it at that time. Now today, I took the car back to the service person as the car is making the same clicking noises and the steering column is making noise when I turn it to the right! I sent an email to Nissan today to inform them of these problems and also to let them know that the car was taken in again today for more problems that have arisen! thank you.

8 Steering Noise problem of the 2007 Nissan Versa

Failure Date: 04/05/2012

Took the car in for oil change and was told that the rack and pinion is bad. I listened to the noise and that sounds correct. After the part was replaced the steering makes more noise, clanks and stutters at low speed turning. Mechanic now says replacement part will cost twice as much as Nissan has a VIN specific part. Checked the message board and now see this is a common problem for Versa's '07 to '10.

2008 Nissan Versa, steering noise and klunking sound when turning right at slow speeds. I have read on the internet that many other Versa owners have had the same problem. It seems like this should be a recall item by the Nissan dealers.

12 Steering Noise problem of the 2009 Nissan Versa

Failure Date: 01/01/2009

2009 Nissan Versa. After a couple of months with car and about 15k miles later, I started hearing a "thump" noise on the steering wheel/column. I took it in to the dealer and got it fixed. A couple of months later at about 30k, it began to do the same thing. I took it in again and got it "fixed". At about 40k it started doing it again. I don't have warranty on it any more so I haven't taken it to get fixed. However, I've been reading threads online about people experiencing the same issue, to the extent they've crashed due to the car not turning, while initial signs starting with the "thumping" noise. I think this is a design error/defect of Nissan Versas and respectfully ask that you please look into this. . Read more...
