NHTSA Complaint #10499671 — 2008 NISSAN VERSA

I TRIED STARTING MY VEHICLE AND IT WOULD NOT START. I HAD TO TRY IT MULTIPLE TIMES AND EVENTUALLY AFTER ABOUT 8 TRIES IT DID. THIS OCCURRED FOR THE FIRST IN JUNE 2012 BUT I THOUGHT NOTHING WOULD BE WRONG WITH A CAR THAT IS WAS ONLY ABOUT 4 YEARS OLD. AFTER IT OCCURRED A COUPLE MORE TIMES IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, I BROUGHT IT IN TO BE TESTED AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY TESTED IT AND FOUND NOTHING WAS WRONG. THE ISSUE CONTINUED AGAIN IN FEBRUARY 2013 AND I BROUGHT IT IN TO BE TESTED AGAIN. THIS TIME IT WAS DETERMINED THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I FOUND INFORMATION STATING THAT NISSAN NEW THIS WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE MAKE AND MODEL OF MY VEHICLE BUT DID NOTHING TO INFORM ME OF THE PROBLEM, THE SERVICE BULLETIN IS DATED SEPTEMBER 18, 2009. I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE NEW ON APRIL 24, 2008 BUT NISSAN MADE NOT ATTEMPT TO NOTIFY ME OF THE POSSIBLE FAULTY PART THEY HAD INSTALLED. A RECALL OF THE PART SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO REPLACE THE PART THAT THEY KNEW WAS DEFECTIVE. ESPECIALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND NOW THAT THIS PART IS OUT OF WARRANTY LEAVING ME TO PAY FOR IT. I VERY MUCH LIKED MY NISSAN BUT AFTER BEING TREATED LIKE THIS, I DON'T SEE MYSELF EVER GETTING ANOTHER ONE AFTER THE HORRIBLE TREATMENT I RECEIVED. *TR
