NHTSA Complaint #10552313 — 2010 NISSAN VERSA

THERE WAS NO ACTUAL ACCIDENT, BUT I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED. ON NOVEMBER 8TH I WAS JUST STARTING ON THE HIGHWAY, SO NOT EVEN AT SPEED LIMIT, WHEN I FELT THAT PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR IT HESITATED. I NOTICED IT A FEW MORE TIMES AND THEN THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID TO RETURN A WEEK LATER FOR THE EARLIEST SERVICE APPOINTMENT, BUT THAT IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. ONCE IN FOR SERVICING, I WAS NOTIFIED THAT IT WOULD NEED A NEW FUEL PUMP BECAUSE THERE WAS A LEAK. I SPOKE TO ANOTHER COMPANY AND THEY SAID IT SEEMED ODD THAT FOR SUCH A NEW CAR, IT WOULD NEED A NEW FUEL PUMP. THEY ALSO SAID THAT HAVING MY SPEED AFFECTED WAS VERY DANGEROUS. MY CAR IS A LITTLE OVER 75,000 MILES. I AM UNSURE WHAT TO DO IN SUCH A SITUATION AND FEEL THAT FOR SAFETY REASONS THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED, ESPECIALLY HAVING READ OF OTHER SUCH ISSUES WITH NISSAN VERSAS ONLINE. *TR
