2007 NISSAN VERSA Structure Problems

While driving, I was going about 25mph, but was coming to an intersection. Before getting to the intersection the light was blinking yellow due to the time so i started to slow down so i could yield through the light. At this time, my son who was 3yrs 2mo old (at the time) was in the backseat in his carseat. As I gradually stepped on the brake pedal, I then felt a big slam, and my face smacked the airbag and dust flew all over my vehicle, and son in the backseat who didnt have an airbag deploy. As I came to realize what happened my son was in the backseat screaming and i had smoke coming from my hood. I hit a city light pole outside of a 7-Eleven store. I was unsure of what happened that caused the accident, but after it happened I got out of my car in complete shock of what hit me. my son was in pullups, and the gel stuff inside the diaper had flew all over my car as it caused the seatbelt to tighten around his legs. I grabbed my son out of the car, because it was smoking and the first thing I should have done was not moved. When i got out of car to see what hit me, i stayed on the sidewalk and waited 35mins for a cop, so by the time the cop came, who never called ems, told me i was being cited and they took my vehicle to the impound lot. The car then was considered totalled and because I was in an accident, gasoline was leaking and they said it was considered hazardous. I didn't nor did my child receive medical attention because we did not have medical insurance at the time but the officer didnt call ems. I then had to pay to get my things from the vehicle from the impound lot, and they were treating me very poorly about what i could grab and what had to left with it. I also had to pay Court Costs, and fines and due to this accident, i have suffered trauma, and my son im sure has also. My body has major pains as well as my legs, hips, neck and severe lower back pain. I am unable to care for my child as he needs at times because my body hurts so bad, i cant help.

TOOK MY CAR TO THE GARAGE TO HAVE IT INSPECTED AND WAS TOLD I WAS GOING TO NEED MY ENGINE CRADLE/ SUBFRAME REPLACED. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE GARAGE TO GET IT FIXED HE TOLD ME IT SHOULD NOT HAVE RUSTED OUT THAT BAD FOR A 2007 AND WAS SURPRISED TO FIND NO RECALL ON THIS ISSUE.

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND I HEARD A LOUD BANG THEN MY CAR VEERED OFF TO THE RIGHT. LUCKILY I WASN'T ON A BUSY ROAD AND WAS ABLE TO PULL IT ALL THE WAY OVER. THE FRONT OF MY CAR BASICALLY COLLAPSED ONTO THE PASSENGER CORNER. IT WAS COVERING MY TIRE AND I COULDN'T MOVE THE CAR. APPARENTLY THE STRUT BROKE AND HAD TO GET AN ALIGNMENT. ALSO, THE ENGINE LIGHT WON'T TURN OFF AFTER I PUT GAS IN. THE GAS CAP WILL NOT SCREW ON RIGHT. MY DOOR HANDLES KEEP POPPING OFF. MY SEATBELT KEEPS GETTING STUCK. AND MY TIRE LIGHT WON'T TURN OFF WHEN NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT.

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN SENTRA. SHORTLY AFTER BUYING IT THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO PEPP BOYS AND SPENT MONEY REPLACING THE SENSOR ON THE WHEEL. THE LIGHT HAS NEVER GONE OFF. ALL FOUR WINDOW SEALS HAVE COME LOOSE. THE AC HAS STOPPED WORKING. THE FAN WILL NOT WORK FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN I WILL TURN ON ON THE CAR AND IT WORK ONE MOMENT.

THIS VEHICLE HAD BOTH REVERSE LIGHTS SPONTANEOUSLY STOP WORKING, REPLACING THE REVERSE BREAK BULBS DID NOT WORK, THE PROBLEM IS ELECTRICAL. THE FRONT PASSENGER AUTOMATIC WINDOW STARTED TO GET STUCK IN THE OPEN MODE, AND NOW THE WINDOW DOES NOT GO DOWN AT ALL, COULD BE A BAD SWITCH ($500 TO FIX). THE DRIVER DOOR HANDLE CAME OFF WHILE OPENING THE VEHICLE ONE DAY, $500 TO FIX AND I AM DRIVING AROUND WITHOUT AN ATTACHED HANDLE. HOLES STARTING APPEARING ON FLOORBOARD ON DRIVERS SIDE RIGHT WHERE MY HEELS GO DURING ACCELERATING AND ANOTHER HOLE WHERE THE CLUTCH IS, THE FLOORBOARD APPEARS TO BE MADE OF CARDBOARD. ALL OF THESE THINGS WERE ALREADY APPARENT BY THE TIME THE CAR HAD ABOUT 40,000 MILES. I WISH I HAD NOT INVESTED MY MONEY IN THIS CHEAPLY MADE AUTOMOBILE.

DRIVING IN NEIGHBORHOOD VERY SLOW SPEED WHEN FRONT COIL SPRING BROKE CAUSING IT TO RUPTURE THE FRONT TIRE (IT POPPED). LUCKILY I WAS DRIVING 25 MPH OR COULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR PROBLEM. SAW ON NEWS TODAY THEY HAVE HAD OVER 130,000 COMPLAINTS SO FAR- THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT, IT IS GOING TO COST CLOSE TO $1700 TODAY TO GET IT FIXED.

1) THE REVERSE LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING AND REPLACING BOTH BULBS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS ELECTRICAL AND COSTLY TO FIX. 2) THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW SWITCH/MOTOR STOPPED WORKING IN 2009 AND COSTS $500 TO REPAIR SO STILL BROKEN. 3) THE REAR LEFT PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT ALWAYS OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE WITH THE REMOTE UNLOCK SWITCH ON MY KEY 'FOB', AND SOMETIMES THE REMOTE WILL NOT LOCK SAME DOOR. THE DOOR NOT OPENING HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CHILD SAFETY SWITCH ON THE INNER DOOR. SOMETIMES THE SAME DOOR CANNOT BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE WITH THE CHILD SAFETY LOCK IN THE 'UNLOCK' POSITION AND THE DOOR UNLOCKED FROM WITHIN. IT COULD BECOME A 'TRAP' IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. THIS IS AN ON AND OFF PROBLEM, AND IT HAPPENS QUITE FREQUENTLY. IT REMAINS UNADDRESSED. 4)THE FRONT EXTERIOR DRIVER DOOR HANDLE CAME APART UPON OPENING AND IS $500 TO FIX. 5) THE RUBBER SEALS AROUND 2 OF THE DOORS SPONTANEOUSLY CAME OFF AND HAVE TO BE MANUALLY RE-ATTACHED REGULARLY. 6) THERE IS A FLAPPING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT DRIVER WHEEL WELL AREA, AND MECHANICS COULD NOT FIND THE SOURCE OF THE SOUND. *TR

THE DOOR HANDLE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF MY 2007 NISSAN VERSA CAME OFF IN TO MY HAND WHEN I WENT TO OPEN THE CAR DOOR. THIS CAR HAS 38,807 MILES ON IT.YOU CAN NOT OPEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE AND ARE REDUCED TO CRAWLING IN OVER THE GEAR SHIFT FROM THE PASSENGERS SIDE TO GET IN TO THE DRIVER'S SEAT. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE DRIVER'S DOOR CAN NOT BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY OR AN ACCIDENT.. ODDLY ENOUGH I SAW A GIRL IN A SHOPPING CENTER YESTERDAY. THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE WAS MISSING FROM HER CARE WHICH IS JUST LIKE MINE AND I STOPPED TO TALK WITH HER.. OUR LOCAL DEALER QUOTED PRICES OF SEVERAL HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS.TO REPAIR MY CAR AS WELL AS HER CAR I FEEL THAT THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A RECALL. THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME RECALLS ON OTHER NISSAN'S LIKE THE ROGUE THAT HAVE A RECALL FOR THE DOOR HANDLE FALLING OFF AND ONLY "SERVICE ADVISORIES" ON OTHERS. I WILL NEVER BY A NISSAN AGAIN. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. IF YOU GOOGLE THIS PROBLEM ON THIS CAR THERE ARE A LOT OF POSTINGS FROM PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM ON THIS SAME CAR. *TR

MY MUFFLER ON MY 2007 VERSA ROTTED OFF THE MAIN PIPE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE VERSAS. WHY IS NISSAN NOT RECALLING THESE FAULTY PARTS. NOW I HAVE TO SHOP AROUND AND HOPE TO GET A GOOD PRICE WITH REPLACING THE MUFFLER. I AM SURE I WILL BE BACK AND SAY THE TAIL PIPE HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE HAVE REPLACED THAT PART ALREADY TOO. *TR

ON 11/11/11 MY VERSA S LOST IT'S FRONT RIGHT HUBCAP WHILE DRIVING TO WORK, I WAS DRIVING ON A PAVED RURAL ROAD AND A GUST OF WIND TOOK IT OFF (NO BUMPS). FIVE DAYS LATER MY FRONT LEFT HUBCAP CAME LOOSE IN TRAFFIC CAUSING DRIVERS BEHIND TO SWERVE AND BRAKE TO AVOID IT. DURING THE INCIDENT ON 11/11 THE ENTIRE HUBCAP WAS LOST (SPRING STEEL FRAME & PLASTIC COVER), DURING THE INCIDENT ON 11/16 THE STEEL RETAINER AND 6 CONNECTING (RIBS) WERE LEFT ATTACHED TO THE WHEEL WHILE THE PLASTIC DISC PART OF THE HUBCAP SHEERED AWAY. PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR PICTURES, OR FAILED COMPONENTS, OF THE 2ND INCIDENT.

PIPE FROM FRONT END OF MUFFLER FAILED AT FLANGE WELD DUE TO: (1) MECHANICAL STRAIN, THE MUFFLER PIPE SUPPORTS THE RESONATOR BY PULLING THE PIPE TIGHT; (2) LACK OF CORROSION INHIBITION; (3) POOR QUALITY WELDING, THE COMPONENTS APPEARED TO HAVE NOT BEEN CLEANED FIRST. ==DETAILS== [1] THE COMPARATIVELY HEAVY RESONATOR WAS SUPPORTED AT THE REAR ONLY BY THE PIPE SEGMENTS BETWEEN IT AND THE MUFFLER. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MECHANICAL FORCE, APPLIED TO A STRUCTURE NOT DESIGNED TO HANDLE IT. [2] ANY CAR SOLD TO PARTS OF THE USA THAT REGULARLY GET SNOW SHOULD HAVE CORROSION PREVENTION APPLIED TO ALL UNDERBODY COMPONENTS BY DEFAULT. NOT DOING SO IS NOT ONLY A POOR BUSINESS DECISION BUT ALSO INCREASES THE LIKELIHOOD OF PARTS FALLING OFF AND LANDING IN THE ROAD. [3] WELDS TO UNDERBODY COMPONENTS SHOULD BE WELL INSPECTED, AS IF THEY BECOME SEPARATED PARTS OF THE VEHICLE MAY CEASE TO FUNCTION PROPERLY OR DEPART FROM THE VEHICLE ENTIRELY, RESULTING IN A SAFETY ISSUE. ==FINAL NOTE== THIS FORM DOES NOT RETAIN FORMATTING, MAKING THE REPORTS UNDULY DIFFICULT TO READ. *TR
