2008 NISSAN VERSA Engine And Engine Coolingengine Problems

WE TOO HAD A PROBLEM WITH OUR 2008 VERSA. WE HAD AN ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND SO WE IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT IN AT 22,000 MILES. THEY SAID WE HAD NO OIL CHANGES EXCEPT ONE. WE ARGUED THE POINT AND GOT NO WHERE. THEY STATED WE HAD NO OIL. WE SAID WHERE DID IT GO -- THEY DIDN'T KNOW! TALKED TO THE MANAGER AND GOT NOWHERE AT BUCKEYE NISSAN. HE PROMISED TO TALK TO CORPORATE AND WE GOT NOWHERE AGAIN. THAT WAS CLEAR BACK IN MARCH OF 2010. SO MUCH FOR WARRANTIES. THEY WANTED TO PUT IN A NEW ENGINE AT $4,500 ON A 2 YEAR OLD CAR. I'LL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN NOR WORK WITH A COMPANY THAT DOESN'T STAND BEHIND ITS PRODUCT. WE HAVE HAD OTHER CARS IN WHICH THEY HAVE ALWAYS HAD THEIR OIL CHANGES AND RETIRED THESE CARS AT 200,000+ MILES. WE PRESENTLY HAVE A 1999...

2008 NISSAN VERSA; PURCHASED NEW. CURRENTLY UNDER 2,000 MILES ON ODOMETER. EXTREMELY LONG CRANK TIMES BEFORE ENGINE TURNS OVER. VEHICLE BROUGHT BACK TO DEALERSHIP FOR WARRANTY SERVICE TO CORRECT PROBLEM. AFTER KEEPING VEHICLE FOR A DAY DEALERSHIP INFORMED THAT THEY "COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM" AND COULDN'T/WOULDN'T ATTEMPT TO FIX OR DIAGNOSE PROBLEM. 5 TO 10 SECOND CRANK TIMES WITHOUT VEHICLE STARTING UP - ON A DAILY BASIS - IS A SERIOUS CONCERN. *TR

I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR LESS THAN ONE WEEK. THE MILEAGE IS CURRENTLY AT ABOUT 275 MILES. WHEN I TURN THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, THE CAR DOESN'T START UNTIL I HOLD THE KEY TURNED FOR AT LEAST 5 SECONDS. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING BECAUSE IT SEEMS AS IF IT WILL NOT START. THIS HAPPENS DAILY, WHETHER IT IS HOT OR COLD OUTSIDE. IT IS NOT CONTINGENT ON THE TIME OF DAY EITHER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A VERY LOUD RATTLING SOUND IN THE SLACK OF THE ENGINE. HE STATED THAT IT WAS A VALVE TRAIN NOISE. THE NOISE CAN BE HEARD AT 1,900 RPM AND WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN NEUTRAL. THE CONTACT HAS NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER ABOUT THE ENGINE NOISE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 432.

2008 NISSAN VERSA-WHEN STARTED AFTER BEING SHUT OFF AND IDLE FOR ANYWHERE FROM 1 HR OR 24 HOURS, ENGINE CRANKS BUT DOES NOT TURN OVER IMMEDIATELY. SOMETIMES CRANKS FOR 10 SECONDS. IGNITION NEEDS TO BE TURNED TWO OR THREE TIMES BEFORE IT WILL START UP. VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 2200 MILES ON IT. *TR
