| Dec 20071000 mi | I didn't think the car was heating well (took too long to get to desirable heat/ desirable heat wasn't warm enough--my comparisons are to my '94 Subaru Legacy Wagon). Nissan measured engine output for heat and cabin heat, but proved nothing wrong. | ||
| Jul 20084000 mi | Difficulty turning over during start up. Was told problem with pressure gauge and it reading wrong pressure and therefore cannot start up easily. Common problem with 07/08 Versa apparently. Part(s) ordered, still waiting (almost a month now...) | ||

| Oct 200810000 mi | Fuel regulator was bad. This is a common problem for Nissan Versas and Nissan SHOULD recall. I did have to take the car in twice to get this problem fixed. Chip in paint on hood when I accepted delivery. Was told that they would fix if and I took the car in 3 times only to never be fixed. They have dabbed touch-up paint on the chip but it looks horrible. Looks like I touched it up my self. | ||

| Aug 201026660 mi | A clunking noise noticed when turning right. Mentioned to dealer at service and both strut bearings were replaced under warranty. Service manager indicated there was an 'alert' out on these as being problematic. A/C failed,inspection discovered previous dye was leaking.

| Jun 201137820 miC $60 | Warm weather arrived and A/C not working after being repaired last autumn. Warranty has just expired, but dealer paid for half a recharge and flushed and checked system for leaks. A/C works again. We'll see... | ||
| Nov 201143400 mi | For about the third time my a/c stopped working (end of summer). Cool climate so not urgent; complained a lot about this recurring problem when car in for service. Leak detected, recharged system with dye; they'll check for leak in a month | ||
| Feb 201244620 mi | A coolant leak was detected in the condenser deep within or behind the dash. Nissan and dealer split cost to make repair, no cost to owner. Hopefully this will put to rest recurring problems with A/C. Big job; 10hrs work for mechanic. Connector pipe on exhaust failed. Problem was fixed by the dealer at my expense (fair enough). | ||
| Feb 201355180 miC $61 | The centre rear seatbelt retractor jammed as a result of the webbing twisting and the mechanic apparently dismantled and untangled the webbing. | ||
| Sep 201362620 miC $232 | The vehicle made clunking noises when turning. Apparently some strut components needing replacing. This has happened before (not necessarily same strut) while the vehicle was under warranty. | ||

| May 201468180 miC $280 | passenger side spring broke; it was noticed by a non dealer shop that was changing snow tires(they quoted almost 1300.00 to repair both front springs!). Some risk of spring popping out and flatting tire before repair. | ||
| Jul 201578220 miC $230 | Air conditioning failed for 2nd or 3rd time since purchase. Two trips in and about 250.00 established it was a leak from compressor deep in dash...again. This would cost almost 2000 to fix so we will drive without air from now on. | ||

| Dec 201583700 miC $250 | Passenger Airbag Warning Light on! 2 diagnostic waste of money trips did not solve issue. Next step costs 2700. Opted not to repair. Car is probably worthless and sitting in the 'death seat' unnerving. Probably replace it soon. Not happy. | ||
| Mar 201683700 mi | No repair done. We sold the vehicle at a reduced price because passenger side air bag light was on. Would have kept vehicle a few more years otherwise. Nissan dealer and company would do nothing to fix this safety issue. | ||
