Filed Sep 7, 2026 · Acceleration, Airbags · WA · crash

I bought my car while living in Florida from a lady that didn't drive it for a while and after I bought it I drove it i drove to Washington two and a half times. before this though it had an airbag safety issue where the airbags didn't deploy and also my gas gauge does not work correctly as well as the suspension, which the coils are not up to codes and regulation also my odometer does not work well period when I got in my car accident my airbags had not deployed which is the safety risk and I looked up online due to the multiple risk zones that I crossed over I know that it is a good chance that I qualify for recalls that maybe it wasn't listed prior to putting up on here because I was unaware of a recall list.

Fuel gauge is always stuck to full. I have to rely on the gas pump to know that I have full tank of gas. Luckily I only drive it for short distances. It will not be safe to drive interstate.

The gas gauge is not accurate and ever since running out of gas the first time it's been acting stranger and stranger. The noise no longer chimes when running low it also doesn't have extra fuel reserve so once you run out you run out. My cars fuel pump just went out in the middle of the freeway and this was at night. The car no longer starts yet alone move. I got stuck on the freeway traffic on both sides it was full of people flying by me so I could not even get out to move.

The gas gauge does not show the correct gas level after filling up gas tank. Every day I start the car the gas gauge will not move, so I restart the car and then the gas gauge will move but I'm not sure if it is correctly showing the correct gas level.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 nissan versa. The contact stated that the locks were not working on the hatchback. While the vehicle was in motion, the locks would lock and unlock without the contact doing anything. Also, the odometer and fuel gauge were flickering and not providing a correct reading. The vehicle was taken to car-mart of texarkana (3015 summerhill rd, texarkana, tx 75503, (903) 792-4298) where it was recommended that the lock motor be replaced. The dealer stated that they would repair the odometer, but admitted that they basically rolled it back. The contact also stated that the mileage reading changed to time. The vehicle was purchased in march of 2019. Shortly after purchasing the vehicle, the contact received an unknown recall notice regarding the air bags. She took the vehicle to an unknown nissan dealer to have the recall repair completed. The contact mentioned that the dealer did not let her see the paperwork for the sale until after she signed for the purchase. The failure mileage was 113,329. *bf

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.

Stopped on our way home from a small trip and refueled the versa. Noticed a small drip coming from the gas tank. Assumed it was coming from an overflow tube inside the fuel filler tube. The next day we took the versa to our mechanic and told him about it. He investigated and found the fuel leak coming from the fuel pump attached to the top of the fuel tank. The leak as he described it coming from under the plug in where the wiring harness connects to provide power to the pump.under the plug in was a crack . There was also a hole that appeared in color of a burnt mark to the rear inside corner of the plug in wall exposing a metal stem goes to the prong that connects to the wiring harness. This area is above fuel tank surface or outside the top of the tank. Had this shorted out or created a spark, a possible fire and/or explosion could have occurred and injury and/or death could have occurred to occupants inside the vehicle. When pump was replaced, I took pictures that I hope you can receive. The bottom side where the float arm attached to the side sliding metal parts for measuring fuel level also appeared to have the blackened burnt color on the wall area of the metal parts. I have the defected pump in case you would like to check it out. I also have notified the nissan service center and showed them the pump defect. I'm wanting to inform you of this because there are other versa owners out there that could be affected by this. We were lucky.

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.
