Muffler detached from exhaust system and required replacement. Other exhaust system components visible under the car (including catalytic converters) were observed to be rusty enough to suggest future premature failure.
I have a 2007 Nissan Versa sl hatchback that has 55,000 miles. I bought this vehicle new. I started to notice that the muffler was getting louder and took it to a repair shop and I was told that the muffler flange had rusted completely through and I should take it to a dealer. The muffler shop says he has seen hundreds of these same exact problems on Nissan products. Nissan of course says it will cost hundreds of dollars to repair and says that it is not under warranty and blames it on road salt. The car is so loud I finally had to get it fixed.
While driving on my road I heard a louder than usual exhaust noise. Inspection at my home revealed the flange on the exhaust pipe right before the muffler has rusted and completely separated. Taking it to muffler shop to have a new pipe welded on where separation occurred. Approximate cost was quoted at $100. I have read of numerous Nissan Versa and Nissan murano owners with the same issue.
