My friend had my vehicle. She had just made it home from work. She lives less than 10 minutes from her job. She said when she made it home she went into the apartment to change into a bathing suit and someone knocked on the door saying that there is a little black car smoking. She went outside and flames were coming out of the engine compartment. They all called 911. The firefighters put out the fire and they told her that it is a motor malfunction because it was parked and with no sort of overheating issue. Updated 09/15/15*lj updated 11/22/2017*cn

The flanges on the middle exhaust at distal end and the muffler have completely oxidized. Major costs to repair both muffler and middle exhaust. *Tr

Have had my nissan versa since 2009, got it with 50 miles on the car. Spent 2 years in florida with it without a problem and in the past year I've had so many issues with this car I'll never buy another nissan again. Have replaced all of the tires twice and today I was a mile from my home when my car had issues accelerating and starting making a loud rattling noise. I've come to find out that my muffler has broken at the flange. Apparently this is common with these nissans and nothing has been done to change it....

The car has begun to make a loud metal clunking sound at the top right suspension as well as what almost sounds like a grinding but not similar to that of the braking system. I was going around a curve at the time. The sound gets worse when going down a hill changing speeds, switching lanes, on pot holes or an uneven surface. I took it to a few different places and could not reproduce the problem at the time. While driving with a more experienced mechanic he was able to determine the sound to be isolated to the...

This car is a 2008. Kept in fantastic condition. The muffler randomly broke off of the car. There is no rust on the underside of the car. The few months it was driven in the north it was washed free of any salt. After researching this it seems to be an ongoing problem with this make and model of car. It was a clean break. Hopefully can be welded back together, but this break is certainly due to the cheap material it is made out of. Nissan should recall these parts. This is affecting alot of nissan versa owners around the same exact mileage frame. *Tr

I was driving my vehicle just turning the corner when my vehicle stopped running. I noticed smoke coming out from under the hood. I open the hood and saw my engine was on fire. The battery area was fully enfulfed in flames, there were other areas of fire in the engine area, but I did not stay there to examine the situation. I immediately dropped the hood and ran to safety to call 911. My vehicle was properly maintained by downtown nashville nissan dealership. I reported this incident to them and to nissan north america, neither of which will take any responsibility. This is a serious situation. There should have been no reason for my vehicle to have burst into flames while driving it. *Tr

We had just gone throw the sunpass lane on i-275 n. My wife was driving and she started to push on the gas pedal and the engine die (ten feet out of the toll booth). She tried 3 times to start the car motor and each time it started and then stopped. I jumped out of the car to push the car across 4 lanes of traffic (lucky it was 11:00pm) and there was not a lot of traffic. We had to have the car towed to our garage. They (hummel tire & auto, reg.#: Mv-66432) was told my nissan (crown) that they knew about this...

Muffler pipe broke by the flange - car only 4 years old, 60 000 miles (faulty design?) If the muffler ends up on the road on the highway, it can cause accidents. *Tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2008 nissan versa. While the vehicle was parked she attempted to start the vehicle and it would not start. The contact stated after the second attempt the vehicle started. The failure occurred intermittently and the vehicle normally starts on the second attempt. She also stated that the failure started shortly after it was purchased. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for the failure. The dealer advised her that there was nothing wrong with the starter. The contact mentioned the failure to...

I own a 2008 nissan versa. Recently started having problems with losing power after a long period of driving. The problem started after driving for approximately two hours, the car would lose power and only go about 20 mph. If accelerator was pressed, the car would stall out completely. After two visits to nissan dealers, they stated they could not find any problems. I am afraid to take this car on any extended trips due to this problem. I bought this car for the gas mileage...Now having to take another vehicle for safety. *Tr

We too had a problem with our 2008 versa. We had an engine light come on and so we immediately took it in at 22,000 miles. They said we had no oil changes except one. We argued the point and got no where. They stated we had no oil. We said where did it go -- they didn't know! Talked to the manager and got nowhere at buckeye nissan. He promised to talk to corporate and we got nowhere again. That was clear back in march of 2010. So much for warranties. They wanted to put in a new engine at $4,500 on a 2...

WATER PUMP FAILED. *TR

We have a 2008 nissan versa and bought it with 6 miles on it. The car now has 60000 miles on it and there is white residue around the crankcase and back pressure in the motor. We have gone to the dealership and they say it needs a whole new engine. There is absolutely nothing we could have done to cause this issue. Nissan is not helping us very much so far, we were hoping you all could help out. Everyone we have talked to says it is a manufacturers defect. *Tr

My husband and I was driving the highway and our 2008 nissan versa lost power. When we pulled over, my husband lifted the hood and found the dipstick had came out and oil was all over the engine. Our car was towed to a local dealership. The next after nissan north america would not fix our car claiming it was our fault . We only had our car for 8 months and we brought it brand new! We had many heated arguments with the dealership and nissan north america. Then after 23 days after then they called me wanting to put a new engine in our car . I refused because I wanted a refund because we had to buy a 30 year old truck to get back and forth from work. *Tr

Car completely died out and shut down in the middle of a major intersection at 35 miles per hour. On august 20 / 2008 the car repeated the same failure in traffic at 45 miles per hour. When started the vehicle it wants to choke up and stall, at least 20 times since the purchase of the vehicle on feb. 18 / 2008. I am terrified to drive the vehicle that I paid cash for now. The dealership of purchase are saying that they cant find the source of the problem and that they are no longer willing to correct these serious...

My versa has 7k miles and is 4 months old. I have been experiencing the long cranking time for about a month now. Its intermittent but I do worry that it won't start, have to tap the gas to get it to start. *Tr

2008 Nissan versa; purchased new. Currently under 2,000 miles on odometer. Extremely long crank times before engine turns over. Vehicle brought back to dealership for warranty service to correct problem. After keeping vehicle for a day dealership informed that they "could not duplicate the problem" and couldn't/wouldn't attempt to fix or diagnose problem. 5 To 10 second crank times without vehicle starting up - on a daily basis - is a serious concern. *Tr

Car stopped working, lost power, oil leaking everywhere. *Tr

Vehicle started taking long crank times, multiple cranks to start engine. Informed dealer of problem and that prior models of versa had similar problems. Dealer says this vehicle manufactured after date other problems were fixed. Obviously not since this problem persists in models manufactured after previous bulletin date. Concerned that one day vehicle will not start and leave me stranded. Long crank times not dependent on weather, temperature or level of fuel in tank. *Tr

I have had this car for less than one week. The mileage is currently at about 275 miles. When I turn the key in the ignition, the car doesn't start until I hold the key turned for at least 5 seconds. This is very frustrating because it seems as if it will not start. This happens daily, whether it is hot or cold outside. It is not contingent on the time of day either. *Tr
