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.
After coming to a stop and pressing on the gas pedal the car does not accelerate immediately. This causes the driver to press harder because you get no initial reaction from pressing on the gas pedal. Once the car finally does respond it takes off. Since it is a delayed reaction on the cars part you have no control. The problem is the conditions outside the car may have changes. For instance there could be a vehicle in front of you or worse a child on a bike. This is a severely serious problem that has been reported online and to the dealerships but nothing from Nissan has been done yet. Use extreme caution when purchasing this vehicle. Along with other serious problems this one could kill someone. I severely regret my purchase. My vehicle has been in the shop 3 times in the last two week I have had it. It just not worth the issues.
