NHTSA Complaint #10381406 — 2007 NISSAN VERSA

SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF FUEL EFFICIENCY AT AROUND 51K MILES IN JANUARY 2011. ALL OF A SUDDEN HAD TO START FILLING TANK UP MORE FREQUENTLY AND NOTICED IT WOULD SHUDDER AT RANDOM. ON FEBRUARY 8, 2011 I WAS SITTING IDLE IN A PARKING SPACE IN PARK WITH ENGINE RUNNING AND THE ENGINE SHUDDERED AND THEN SHUT OFF. BATTERY WAS FINE BUT ENGINE WOULD CRANK BUT NOT COME ON. WAS TOLD FUEL PUMP NEEDED REPLACEMENT, NISSAN WOULD NOT ACKNOWLEDGE AS A PROBLEM AND SAID I WOULD BE CHARGED 3 HOURS OF LABOR TO REPLACE WHILE THE SERVICE STATION I USE SAID IT WOULD ONLY REQUIRE 1 LABOR HOUR. HAD IT REPLACED FOR ALMOST $600. I BOUGHT WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A RELIABLE CAR, BUT AFTER THIS AND HAVING THE FUEL DOOR BECOMING DISCONNECTED FREQUENTLY, I AM NOT FEELING CONFIDENT. *TR
