I bought a 2007 Nissan Versa SL about 18 months ago - the car was declared a “Lemon” (for a persistant engine idoling problem) in NY, the problem was fixed by Nissan and put on sale in MN. However, since I bought the car I have had problem after problem and I’m wondering if the car is cursed or if I…

For a 2007 that is quite a few problems. I think you some bad service folks with this one. It sounds like a dealer problem more than car problem. Sunroof problems are interrelated not two seperate ones. HVAC fan failure is just bad luck, 3 trips is ridiculous. Gas release is bad luck. If you are u…

Well, if you bought a car you knew had been declared a “lemon,” what did you expect? I’d sell or trade this before the warranty runs out, because after that any repairs are on you. For some reason CR rates the hatchback Versa “below average” for reliability, but the sedan gets a better rating. Do…

The Versa has its good points and its bad points. On a positive note, it is roomier than the better-known Toyota Yaris, it rides much better than the Yaris, and the interior is far more comfortable and luxurious than that of the Yaris. On a negative note, the Versa has the worst reliability of the…

You rolled the dice and you took your risk. I would say it wasn’t worth the risk, and I think you should dump this lemon before the warranty runs out. When you bought this car, how did you determine why it was declared a lemon? How did you determine there weren’t other issues involved? How did y…

You didn’t have an inordinate number of problems. You just had poor service. This is a dealer fault, more than a car fault. Could you find another dealer?

Paperwork was given to me from the state of NY declairing the issue, the lemon label, and the repair work that was done. Certified by nissan and the state. But again, none of the issues I’ve had have been related to the issue that caused the car to be declaired a lemon. The vehicle was in fine work…

That “service engine soon” light is probably nothing to worry about. I believe it comes on after a certain amount of miles, and should be reset by your service provider. There is probably no need to get it checked out if you are current on maintenance. They probably just forgot to reset the light…

The Service Engine Soon light is just a reminder that you’re due for an oil change. However, you say the car was declared a “lemon” in NY and shipped (probably auctioned) to be sold in MN? My impression is that you knew you were taking a risk when you bought it and may have lost on this one. Wheth…

I expected (and had paperwork stating) that the issue had been fixed and the car was ok - perhaps niavely. It’s a hatchback, CVT.
