Consumer Description
DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY CAR TENDS TO LOSE POWER AND SPUTTER AND IN SOME CASES IT WILL STALL. WHEN TRYING TO RESTART IT, IT WILL NOT START. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS. ALSO, IF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND THEN SHUTTING THE ENGINE OFF YOU CAN NOT RESTART IT WITHOUT WAITING AT LEAST 30 MINUTES. MY 16 YEAR OLD HAS BEEN DRIVING THIS CAR AND THE FIRST INSTANCE IT HAPPENED WAS WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING IT. SHE LOST ALL POWER AND WAS NOT EVEN ABLE TO USE HER BRAKES. SHE CAME VERY CLOSE TO HITTING A WALL BUT WAS ABLE TO STEER IT AWAY BUT STEERING WAS VERY DIFFICULT AS WELL. WE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP THINKING IT WASN'T GETTING ENOUGH GAS BUT THIS STILL HASN'T FIXED THE ISSUE. WE ARE TOLD BY MECHANICS THAT THE PROBLEM CAN'T BE DUPLICATED THEREFORE IT CAN'T BE FIXED. I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT NISSAN HAS NOT RECALLED THIS CAR DUE TO MANY COMPLAINTS WITH THIS ISSUE. I GUESS SOMEONE HAS TO LOSE THEIR LIFE BEFORE THEY WILL FIX IT. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE VERSA AND NISSAN TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. PLEASE LOOK INTO IT AND FIX IT BEFORE SOMEONE DIES.
