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.
A/C evaporator blew a hole in it, releasing every ounce of freon into the passenger cabin (looked like a dense fog rolling out of the vents). This is an extremely dangerous issue, since freon is highly poisonous. Luckily, I knew what freon smelled like, and rolled down the windows to evacuate it from the cabin. I fixed it myself, but based on how long it took and how hard it is to get to, it would cost probably $700-$1000 to have a mechanic fix the issue.
