2008 Nissan VersaElectrical systemFire1 injury

I park the Nissa Versa and I smell an over heating odor a lightly dense smoke appears over the hood. A thought comes to mind, "I just went to Jiffy Lube last week." Suddenly two people are running towards yelling, "Fire, get out of the car." I couldn't believe it I was at a loss for words I couldn't move until they literally opened the door. I started recording it. It's insane I loved that car, it was payed off and it still looked nice. -it gets worse They tow the car to North Shore Towing. I report it to my...

insurance and the appraiser that attempted to see the car was not allowed access because I didn't sign a release form so I go to the towing place and sign the release form. The appraiser goes for the second time and is refused entrance. Weeks went by so I call the insurance which informs me of the previous two failed entries to North Shore Towing. I ask the staff male on the phone why he didn't allow the insurance agent entry to inspect vehicle I had signed the release form. The staff male literally laughs at me on over the phone. You want to know what component? Inspection? And today my friend mentions his car has been recalled and light bulb went on and here I am asking for your help. I have videos witnesses Also I have proof that of the signed document to release the car to insurance agent

I have owned this car since I bought it new in sept.2006. Never have had any problems and have kept it serviced, on oct 02, 2020 I went to store and back home about 8 miles total, parked in yard, approx. 10 Minutes later alarm went off and key fob would not dissarm it so I opened the hood and the whole firewall was on fire, and flames bellowing from underneath, I immediately ran and got a fire extingusher andd completely used the large cannister to put fire out. The car is a total loss and very scarey and upsetting that this could happen from a parked car.

do uber. It was done in two days. The clock spring went out in my car. I do not have a lot of pictures, but I can go in my file and fine them. Thanks for any help on these issues. The airbags were done at the end of 2017 and I didn't know I could do what I'm doing today. I was told I would have to paid to get my airbags checked out. Over the past two years, I've had so many issues with my car. I've spent over 2.000.00 Or more. I've learned so much about my car from google and youtube. Thank you for any help in this matter.

I took the car in for the recalled springs, they were fixed. I took the car in for the replacement air bag, it was fixed. Then the light came on on the airbag again and the dealership said it was a passenger side airbag sensor and it would cost thousands to fix it. He said the car was worth less than the fix would cost.

I was driving just about to get onto the highway but as I was turning onto the on ramp I suddenly couldn't turn the wheel and crashed into the guard rail and my power steering light was on. My car underwent extensive damage on the outside and the alignment is now very bad. It had to sit overnight and when we got back to it the light was off. This is a very dangerous issue. (Miles per hour below is an est.) This just occurred and in the process with insurance.

problem I had to pay and they would gladly give me an estimate. Horn and other buttons on panel were all working properly until air bag was fixed that day. I called nissan warranty dept again. Dept said they could not help because it was a dealership issue. I took vehicle to another dealership in leesburg, fl 3 months ago. They stated there was a recall on airbag I did not know about. They fixed problem. 2 Months later airbag inflator light goes on again. I went to the nissan dealer in clermont and they stated there was no recall on file. They would contact me when they recieved information about it. I tried to explain to manager that I spoke to the warranty dept and they stated I needed to bring vehicle in to have this issue fixed right away. Again manager said there was nothing they could do at the time I would have to wait to receive information about recall. I really need help regarding the issues at hand. Horn is not working due to the airbag malfunction. I drive this vehicle everyday and I am very scared sumthing might happen due to these issues and recall.

The driver side clock spring has developed a problem that affects all of the air-bags in the car. None work. This was detected only after they had worked on the problem for a very minor defect. The trouble lights come on and off at any given moment. I went over the depressions in the center of the road to pass a car and the tire problem light came on. Now none of the power windows work. I don't believe I should have all these problems with a car that is only 8 years old.
