July 2, 2013 - while driving the service engine soon (ses) light comes on. The rate of speed does not seem to have an impact on this problem. I have taken my car to the nissan dealership on 7 different occasions for this problem. Each time the computer reveals the following code: p2a00 a/f sensor failed. So far the following repairs have been done: replaced front air/fuel sensor (nov 2011), replaced o2 sensor and reprogrammed the engine control module (ECM) (mar 2012), replaced the a/f sensor for the 2nd time, and reprogrammed the ECM for the 2nd time (april 2013), replaced the fuel pump (may 2013), replaced the a/f sensor for the 3rd time (june 5, 2013), reprogrammed the ECM (june 18, 2013),and finally replaced the o2 sensor for the 2nd time (june 27, 2013). These repairs have not fixed the problem. The ses light has come back on after my latest service in june 2013. I am frustrated and feel that something else must be going on. Nissan is of no help and is not offering any further assistance other than to replace the same parts over and over and reprogram the ECM. Very frustrating!

I was driving and all of a sudden the car lost pressure on the gas paddle and wouldn't take gas. When the car started back it would run for about 3 seconds and cut off, it eventually stopped cranking. So I had to have it towed.

My 2009 nissan versa just had a fuel pump failure (14 feb 2013). I use this car four days a week to commute to work 83 miles each way. I have completed all maintenance on this vehicle I do not understand why without any warning that this fuel pump would fail. I also remember right after I purchased this car that nissan replaced my fuel pump at no cost to me but now the same fuel pump has failed anyway to the tune of $644.58. I searched the internet and discovered that there are numerous customer complaints of fuel pump failures on nissan versa's. I had hoped that nissan would return some if not all of the money that I had to spend out of pocket for this service since this appears to be a re-accouring problem with fuel pumps on nissan versa's. I filed a claim and they turned me down they said that there were no recalls for this problem even though they performed a service right after I purchased this car that they called I believe a technical notice. I was lucky this time because I was on the highway when the failure accoured and was able to steer the car over and off the road before something (an accident) happened! I believe this matter is going to get someone killed if it happens at the wrong time especially on the highway.

While turning into a parking space in a crowded, busy costco lot our versa stopped running. No warning, just stopped and would not start. Car was towed to a nissan dealer where we were told the fuel pump needed to be replaced. Now nissan knows that this is an issue with the versa but has issued no recall only a technical bulletin so they do not have to pay for the problem. Had our car stopped on the highway during a snow storm the result might have ended with loss of life. Is this going to be like the toyota accelerator issue problem that was known but not communicated to the owner. Can you help?

I was driving down a highway, going 55mph and the car suddenly stopped accelerating. Luckily I was going downhill so I was able to coast into a parking lot. After stopping, I could not get the car to start again. I had to call a tow truck and since my warranty had ended at 36k miles, I took the car to another mechanic. He called a few days later to say it was my fuel pump. I had to pay $687 which left us in debt for a few weeks. I hope someone pays attention to these 20+ complaints about the fuel pump.

I was driving down the freeway at about 70mph when the car started to decelerate. After pulling over to the side of the road I was unable to re-start the engine. The starter would turn the engine; however the engine would not start. I had the car towed to a dealership; they later contacted me telling me it was a fuel pump problem. They called me the next day to tell me nissan does not have the part in stock and that it is on back order.

Fuel pump over-current condition resulting in opening of fuel pump electrical supply fuse. Per service technician, this is indication of pending fuel pump failure. When fuse blew, car went from 65 to 0 MPH in less than eight seconds on us 75, mile marker 49. Should this had occurred two days earlier on interstate 80, between the I-480 and 680 interchange in omaha, multiple fatalities would have occurred. Case no. [xxx] filed with the federal safety agency on 6/4/12. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I purchased a 2009 nissan versa. I have just over 40,000 miles. While driving on the highway at 65 miles per hour in the left lane, my car suddenly shut off and lost acceleration at an alarming rate. Due to a guard rail on my left, I needed to get over to the right lane quickly and was just barely able do so safely. I was almost involved in a very dangerous accident! My car was towed to a local repair shop and it was found that my fuel pump was dead and needed to be replaced. I had to pay for a very expensive repair on a relatively brand new vehicle ! I was told that this happens often. This is extremely dangerous and definitely unacceptable!

Fuel gauge on 2009 nissan versa completely stopped working. Looked on the net for advise on how to fix it, to my surprise there are 7 pages of people with the exact same complaint. Nissan says its not their prob. I say these people are pushing lemons and then when something fails they say its not their problem. There needs to be something done about this issue because it is clearly not an isolated incident.

I own a nissan versa 2009 and I am constantly having problems with starting the vehicle, like it is not getting enough fuel or something. Also, last week I was driving the vehicle and it suddenly would not go when I pushed on the gas. I took my vehicle to the dealer and on the way there it started working fine, I left it at the dealer anyways and they kept it for three days and called me up and said that they could not replicate the problem and therefore there is nothing they can do. My vehicle is still having problems and this time my wife was turning a corner onto a busy highway and almost got in an accident because the car would hardly move and the other car was going really fast. The dealer refuses to do anything about it unless they can replicate the problem, this is a serious safety issue and I have kids that drive in the car with me. They even charged me money to diagnose the vehicle and there was no diagnoses they said "there is nothing wrong with the vehicle."

At about 32,000 miles, the engine quit while in traffic, and the car (2009 nissan versa) was pushed into a parking lot. The car was towed to the dealership, and left overnight. The engine failure was caused by a fuel pump failure. The service advisor said it might have been the pressure sensor, but the entire fuel pump assy was replaced.

When I first purchased my new 09 nissan versa I had a start up issue and then it went away, now approx one year later after purchase I had start up issues...took it to dealership and they put in a fuel pump regulator, from what I'm hearing this is a very known problem. Thought I would advise you since I also heard some people are having to replace this often and some are losing power when driving there cars on highways...I hope this never happens for me since I have to kids!!!!

I own a 2009 versa with 5120 miles. Recently it has developed a problem that causes it to have a substantial delay in starting. It is intermittent during the day but happens at least once daily. I plan to have the vehicle serviced for this problem shortly, but wanted to register this problem as it has already happened to at least one other complainant.

Vehicle does not start right away. It occurs at least once a day. I took my vehicle to nissan service department four times, no problem has been found. The service department replaced a fuel regulator assuming that was the problem, but the problem still have not fixed.
