2007 NISSAN VERSA Fuelpropulsion System Problems

MY CAR'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME UP. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AND IT WAS A FAULTY FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND FOR THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS DUE TO A BAD AIRBAG CONTROL UNIT AND CLOCK SPRING. THE CAR WAS NEVER IN AN ACCIDENT AND HAD AROUND 80K MILES ON IT WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

WHEN THE GAS TANK IS COMPLETELY FULL, THE VEHICLE HAS A BAD SMELL OF GASOLINE. AFTER DRIVING FOR FIFTY MILES, THE SMELL DISSIPATES. I TOOK THE NISSAN VERSA 2007 TO HANOVER NISSAN AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT IS THE FUEL PUMP. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON THE ISSUE AND HAVE NOTICED THAT IT IS A RELATIVELY COMMON ISSUE ON VARIOUS NISSANS. HOWEVER, NISSAN REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AND DOES NOT ISSUE ANY RECALLS OR SERVICE BULLETINS SINCE IT COSTS $800 - $1,000 AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THEY JUST WANT TO MAKE MONEY SO THEY WILL NOT ISSUE AN SERVICE BULLETINS REGARDING THE FAULTY FUEL PUMPS. *TR

LOST ALL POWER TO VEHICLE WHILE TRAVELING DOWN EXPRESSWAY AT POSTED RATE OF SPEED (65 MPH). NO POWER BUT ALL ELECTRICAL WORKING. ALMOST CAUSED A HORRIFIC ACCIDENT AS I TRIED TO MOVE FROM THE CENTER LANE TO THE ROAD SHOULDER. IT TOOK ABOUT 20 TRIES TO RESTART THE CAR AFTER 45 MINUTES ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, BUT THE CAR DID START. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS STARTING THE CAR INTERMITENTLY. FINALLY TOOK IT IN TO A SHOP AND TOLD THEM MY HISTORY OF FUEL PROBLEM. THEY IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AND TOLD ME ABOUT ALL THE INFO ON THE NET ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND NISSAN NOT RECALLING. MANY REFERENCES TO MOVING VEHICLE FAILURE. COST OF THEW FUEL PUMP IS NEAR $1000. I THINK THIS IS WHY NISSAN IS NOT RECALLING. BUT SOMEONE WILL BE HURT OR KILLED FROM THIS NEGLECT. DID THE RESEARCH ON THIS AND FOUND THAT THE FUEL...

I WAS TRAVELING WHEN LOSS OF ENGINE POWER OCCURRED. THERE WAS NO SOUND OR OTHER INDICATION OF ENGINE PROBLEMS ASIDE FROM INABILITY TO ACCELERATE. WAS ABLE TO PULL VEHICLE OVER TO THE SHOULDER WHERE THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER AGAIN. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO LOCAL DEALER WHERE I WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP AND THAT THE PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER. IN ADDITION, WHILE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE SINCE 2007, THERE HAS BEEN NO VOLUNTARY RECALL DESPITE MANY OTHER INCIDENTS (AS PER INTERNET SEARCH) OF OTHER VEHICLES LOSING POWER WHILE IN MOTION. THE INITIAL SYMPTOMS INCLUDE AN INABILITY TO START UPON INITIAL TURNOVER WHEREIN THE ISSUE PROGRESSES TOWARDS TOTAL FUEL PUMP FAILURE. I DID EXPERIENCE THE ISSUE WHERE THE ENGINE WOULD TAKE A SECOND OR THIRD TRY TO TURN OVER BUT HAD ATTRIBUTED IT TO THE STARTER. *TR

THE CAR AS MANY OTHERS HAVE BEEN NOTED FOR THE YEARS 2007 AND 2008 HAS BEEN TO THE SHOP TO CORRECT THE CRANKING NO START PROBLEM. AS PER NISSAN TECHNICAL BULLETIN THE FUEL REGULATOR WAS REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM OCCURRED THE NEXT DAY AND HAS CONTINUED TO DO SO. THE DEALER HAS NO IDEA WHAT THE CAUSE IS. *TR

THE CAR SHUT OFF AS WE WERE DRIVING, AND I HAD TO COAST IN A VERY BUSY FREEWAY...THE ENGINE JUST DIED. VERY STRESSFUL SITUATION BECAUSE I WAS ON A HIGHWAY AND I HAD TO COAST UNTIL OFF THE HIGHWAY..THEN TO RESTART THE CAR IT TOOK AT LEAST 15 MIN OF TRYING...I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A BATTERY ETC, BUT I DID TAKE TO THE DEALER AND NOTHING WAS NOTICED,,,,FROM THEN ON I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES IN STARTING THE CAR, OR IN THE MORNING OR WHEN I LEAVE WORK AT 2 AM ETC...SO I THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY MY CAR, BUT I NOTICED THAT THERE ARE OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM...STARTING THE ENGINE AND OR JUST DYING AS WE ARE DRIVING..I AM LEARNING THAT IT IS A PROBLEM WITH A FUEL PUMP...BUT IT SEEMS THAT NISSAN DOESN'T CARE OR IT IS NOT IMPORTANT TO THEM...PLEASE THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME...
