CarComplaints.com Notes: Be aware the 2007-2011 Nissan Versa was recalled in the US in May 2016 & July 2017 for defective Takata airbags that are potentially deadly. Many Versa owners have reported problems getting Nissan dealers to complete the recall repair, due to scheduling problems & parts shortages.
If you are considering purchasing a 2007-2011 Nissan Versa, call your local Nissan dealer with the VIN# & ask if the airbag recall has been done.
Have had my car for a year and 4 months, a little over 6500 miles. When slowing to a stop, the brakes make noise (tweeting). The harder the brakes are applied, the faster the tweeting noise. Heard in the front of the car. Taken to the Nissan dealer 4 times within 5 weeks.
-1st time they "looked" at it but nothing could be done because only a skeleton crew was available.
-2nd time, drove with a dealership mechanic who reported it as a "slight" noise (not true) and was told I had to bring back and leave for a day for them to assess problem.
-3rd time, left it at dealership for a day and they said they changed the brake pads and the rotors. As soon as I left the lot and tried out the brakes, they tweeted. AGAIN.
-4th time, Brought it back a week later, drove with a relative and two dealership mechanics. The relative, seated in the back, heard the noise, but the mechanics didn't. I was told they "cleaned the hubs," but brakes still tweet.
