2007 Nissan Versa: doors won't lock, open or latch

Filed Feb 5, 2020 · Driver assistance, Electrical · 150,000 miles · VA

The pieces on the door handle of 2007, seem to pop out over time. Drive side key entry and the passenger side door. I know of three nissan versa's have caught fire and all from the cavalier converter... The heater core has some issues. This car had an airbag recall and I don't believe my airbags were replaced. I was told that both side's airbags were done. The dealership told me it would take three weeks to a month to repair. When I told them that I would have to be compensated for my car downtime because I do uber. It was done in two days. The clock spring went out in my car. I do not have a lot of pictures, but I can go in my file and fine them. Thanks for any help on these issues. The airbags were done at the end of 2017 and I didn't know I could do what I'm doing today. I was told I would have to paid to get my airbags checked out. Over the past two years, I've had so many issues with my car. I've spent over 2.000.00 or more. I've learned so much about my car from google and youtube. Thank you for any help in this matter.

Was driving down the street and I heard a loud bang then my car veered off to the right. Luckily I wasn't on a busy road and was able to pull it all the way over. The front of my car basically collapsed onto the passenger corner. It was covering my tire and I couldn't move the car. Apparently the strut broke and had to get an alignment. Also, the engine light won't turn off after I put gas in. The gas cap will not screw on right. My door handles keep popping off. My seatbelt keeps getting stuck. And my tire light won't turn off when nothing is wrong with it.

This vehicle had both reverse lights spontaneously stop working, replacing the reverse break bulbs did not work, the problem is electrical. The front passenger automatic window started to get stuck in the open mode, and now the window does not go down at all, could be a bad switch ($500 to fix). The driver door handle came off while opening the vehicle one day, $500 to fix and I am driving around without an attached handle. Holes starting appearing on floorboard on drivers side right where my heels go during accelerating and another hole where the clutch is, the floorboard appears to be made of cardboard. All of these things were already apparent by the time the car had about 40,000 miles. I wish I had not invested my money in this cheaply made automobile.

1) the reverse lights stopped working and replacing both bulbs did not fix the problem. The problem is electrical and costly to fix. 2) the front passenger window switch/motor stopped working in 2009 and costs $500 to repair so still broken. 3) the rear left passenger door will not always open from the outside with the remote unlock switch on my key 'fob', and sometimes the remote will not lock same door. The door not opening has nothing to do with the child safety switch on the inner door. Sometimes the same door cannot be opened from the inside with the child safety lock in the 'unlock' position and the door unlocked from within. It could become a 'trap' in an emergency situation. This is an on and off problem, and it happens quite frequently. It remains unaddressed. 4)the front exterior driver door handle came apart upon opening and is $500 to fix. 5) the rubber seals around 2 of the doors spontaneously came off and have to be manually re-attached regularly. 6) there is a flapping sound coming from the front driver wheel well area, and mechanics could not find the source of the sound.

The hatchback lock mechanism quit working on july 2 (106885 miles). Can only be opened with the key fob (no key lock on this model), or by unlocking the back seats and crawling into the trunk compartment to pull the manual release. While this is a pain in the neck, it doesn't seem to pose a hazard. On july 27 (108291 miles) the front passenger door lock quit working - totally and completely. There are four ways to open this door, with the key fob, the electric lock/unlock mechanism on both the driver's side and the passenger's side, and finally the manual lock/unlock mechanism. All of these quit working and there is no exterior manual key lock to access either. In the event of an accident or an emergency, the passenger has no quick and easy way to get out of the car. They must exit the same way the entered the vehicle, by crawling over the driver's side seat and wheel, emergency brake and transmission shift mechanism. My wife drives a total of 64 miles a day (to and from work) 10 days a month -- by herself, so the passenger side door and hatchback have not been used as often as another car with our mileage might be expected to have been used. The dealer quoted me $895 plus tax to fix these two issues ($485 for the passenger side door). Not only dose this pose a serious danger to the passenger, it is a rip off (why didn't they provide a "keyed" entry on the passenger side?)!

The door handle on the driver's side of my 2007 nissan versa came off in to my hand when I went to open the car door. This car has 38,807 miles on it.you can not open the driver's door from the outside and are reduced to crawling in over the gear shift from the passengers side to get in to the driver's seat. I am concerned that the driver's door can not be opened from the outside in case of an emergency or an accident.. Oddly enough I saw a girl in a shopping center yesterday. The driver's side door handle was missing from her care which is just like mine and I stopped to talk with her.. Our local dealer quoted prices of several hundreds of dollars.to repair my car as well as her car I feel that this problem should be covered under a recall. There seems to be some recalls on other nissan's like the rogue that have a recall for the door handle falling off and only "service advisories" on others. I will never by a nissan again. This is unacceptable. If you google this problem on this car there are a lot of postings from people that have had this same problem on this same car.

Driver side outside door handle seems to come loose or even come completely off after regular use.
