2008 Nissan Versa: engine stalls while driving

Takata recall - I cannot get my local dealers to return my call to schedule an appointment to get this issue fixed. I continue to get warning notices from nissan USA, but local dealers avoid scheduling recalls, always saying they must "confer with the production manager to ensure parts are available", they then promise to call back but never do. I have left phone numbers and email addresses and never heard from either of them. At this point I believe they are stalling on the fixes hoping the older cars simply die and go to the graveyard first.

I received a preliminary recall notice in july 2016, and the dealer states they have no idea when replacement parts will be available. I think is too much burden to place on an unsuspecting customer.I do not have the use of the front passenger seat in a small car!nissan hads last all credibility and ai will never purchase one, nor advise anyone to do so. The federal safety agency should force the firm to find replacement parts rather than stall until no cars are left to repair.

My car is almost five years old. I have had minor problems with it. My car had been stalling to start. I took it to get checked out. I am told my fuel pump needs to be replaced. My car is not under warranty anymore. I did research and found out this is a common problem for my car, and I am unlucky to have encountered it after my warranty was up. It was suggested to me to file an official complaint.

Replaced the continuously variable transmission on 09/13/2011 at 92524 miles. Approximately 2 weeks later my daughter was driving vehicle and the car stalled. The car will run but when put it in gear it will not go anywhere or rev up. This car has been to three mechanics including nissan dealership and the problem cannot be found. Numerous parts were changed out but did not solve the problem. Sometimes it will drive for a short distance (less than a block) and then will be unmoveable again. This car has been undrivable since september 2011. They are a hazard on the highway due to the fact you never know when they are going to shut down. Also we are paying for a car that is undrivable.

I own a nissan versa 2008 hatchback. After I pull away from the gas pump, the car was losing its acceleration and then stall. I was trying to start again but it wouldn't turn over. The car was towed. I was told that the fuel pump went bad. My basic warranty expired two months ago (december 5, 2010). The fuel pump was recplaced at my expenses.

I own a 2008 nissan versa. Recently started having problems with losing power after a long period of driving. The problem started after driving for approximately two hours, the car would lose power and only go about 20 MPH. If accelerator was pressed, the car would stall out completely. After two visits to nissan dealers, they stated they could not find any problems. I am afraid to take this car on any extended trips due to this problem. I bought this car for the gas mileage...now having to take another vehicle for safety.

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 dodge ram and it has 283,000+ miles and still running. And....they said "we don't know how to maintain our vehicles." our second-hand ford explorer SUV had 243,000 when we sold it. And our other dodge which was retired to the junk yard had close to 220,000 miles. Our old vehicles usually had transmissions go out and that is the reason we went with the versa because of the history on their transmission. When we had it in for the engine light, their story changed 3 times on what the problem was and finally ended up with the engine. No big deal -- only $4,500 on a vehicle less than 2 years old. Now I'm driving a vehicle that drives worse than any of our 15 year old cars ever did, oil needing changed constantly, dip stick coming out on occasion and spraying oil everywhere, and now stalling out!. When air-conditioner is run -- puts a film on window which fogs up. What next. So much for our first new car in years and driving our grandchildren around safely for school. I have never been so disappointed nor upset with a company as I have with this company and standing behind their warranties. And even more so with no response back. I don't think the manager even checked with corporate!

Front axles "click" when making turns. Cvt transmission cuts out or stalls when making turns and/or accelerating from a stop. Occurrence is 3-5 x weekly. I have taken this vehicle in for service 9-10 times. They have replaced the front axles and transmission with no improvement.

Car completely died out and shut down in the middle of a major intersection at 35 miles per hour. On august 20 / 2008 the car repeated the same failure in traffic at 45 miles per hour. When started the vehicle it wants to choke up and stall, at least 20 times since the purchase of the vehicle on feb. 18 / 2008. I am terrified to drive the vehicle that I paid cash for now. The dealership of purchase are saying that they cant find the source of the problem and that they are no longer willing to correct these serious failures and issue. They are demanding that I pick up the vehicle and have not returned any of my calls. They have also denied me a loaner vehicle and I have been without my vehicle for almost 2 weeks now. I am seeking legal representation to this matter and have become very discouraged.
