NHTSA Complaint #10201001 — 2007 NISSAN VERSA

THREE WEEKS AGO, I PURCHASED A NEW 2007 NISSAN VERSA. SINCE MAKING THE PURCHASE, I HAVE HAD PERIODIC PROBLEMS WITH STARTING THE VEHICLE. WHEN I TURN THE KEY, THE VEHICLE FREQUENTLY CRANKS FOR 5+ SECONDS. SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WILL THEN START, AND SOMETIMES IT WILL JUST DIE. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME THAT I START THE VEHICLE, AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DETECT ANY PATTERN TO HELP INDICATE WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR SERVICE SO FAR, AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO SOLVE OR EVEN IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND VARIOUS ACCOUNTS OF OTHER VERSA OWNERS DETAILING SIMILAR EXPERIENCES. *TR
