Consumer Description

THE MUFFLER SOUND SEEMED QUITE LOUD ON THURSDAY, 12/27/12, SOMETHING I HAD NOT NOTICED BEFORE. THE NEXT DAY FRIDAY, 12/28/12, THE MUFFLER STARTED RATTLING VERY LOUDLY. I CALLED TO MAKE AN APPT FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2007 VERSAS. I HAVE AN ESTIMATE OF $400 TO FIX THIS. I'VE HAVE OWNED OTHER MAKES OF VEHICLES FOR OVER 12 YEARS THAT NEVER HAVE NEEDED A MUFFLER. NOW THAT I'VE INVESTIGATED, THERE ARE MANY REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE, ALL SEEMED TO REPORT A POOR DESIGN. THE CAR HAS BEEN GARAGED FOR THE ENTIRE 6YEARS THAT I'VE OWNED IT AND THE BODY IS ACTUALLY SHOWING RUST THAT THE DEALER SAID NISSAN WOULD FIX. NISSAN REFUSED SAYING THE CAR IS 6 YEARS OLD. *TR
