I have sent a similar message to Curt manufacturing and when I receive a response I'll post it here for others.
The owners manual states the car can be towed but should be started and run for two minutes after a 500 mile tow.
Thanks to all.
Also, the steering wheel....it makes a squeaky sound when I'm turning it all the way when backing up into a parking spot. It almost feels as if it's too tight that it causes it to squeak. Please help me, maybe someone can tell me what this is all about and maybe it's not serious and will go away as I drive it more!!! I've only had this car for LESS than 24 HOURS and it's already making me go into the service dept and start worrying about the car. Besides, I even think that I didn't get the best deal on it but that's another topic. Thank you so in advance, and please let me know if you have an idea of what it could be.
I am very curious on how everything has been going on with your Versa. Did you take it back to the service department? I ask, because I too, am having the same problems. Only thing is, I have had these problems since November when I bought my car. Bad news is, these problems don't get better if you drive the car for a longer period of time, they only get worse :lemon: . My car has already been in the shop 5 times. I have wrote so many letters, called so many people, and my only other option is to seek outside sources. I just feel like no one is helping me with my issues. I guess I should have bought that Mazda lol. I hope things have been better with your Versa, I wish you luck!
Inside the glove compartment seems larger, and the door of the glove box seems a bit flatter giving even more leg room for the front passenger.
Thanks to my dealer, who we've been buying from since 1979, our out-the-door price was under $15K.
We be happy!
Lesson: Keep your records of oil changes, repairs, etc. You will probably need them to defend your warranty claims.
I bought this car because I needed reliable durable economy. That's the Nissan brand image. Let's see how they do for me the customer. Will report later.
I love this damn car though. I paid $17.9 after the upside down trade in, but my monthly payments only went up by 6 bucks. Its red, has the wing, front, back, and side lip kits, aftermarket H&K air filter, fog lights, aftermarket exhaust, 18" racing low pros with new tires, and only 5K miles. There are also 3 buttons added under the steering column we cant identify... I guess some kid got it for graduaion, the parents put alot of money into upgrades, then the kid got into trouble with drugs and so they traded it in for a new truck for themselves!
the nissan dealers was sooooooo nice. We have never been treated with that much respect, usually we try to leave, like to work after being there for 5 hours and they wont let us go, this guy reminded us we said we had an apointment and invited us to come back later.
So far, I am blown away. There are so many sweet features my head is spinning a bit. The inteligent key, bluetooth phone, and ratcheting height drivers seat are my 3 favorites though. that muffler makes it sound mean as hell too. I justified the purchase a bit by saying, I wont spend anything to improve it, because its already nice, but Ive already bonded to the car enough I cant help but look for things to do to it.
The only thing I dont like is the speadometer numbers, which go by 20's and 2's, and nearly every streets I drive on has speed limits that end in 5. Its a small price to pay for such a comfortable and fun ride.
I have exactly the same issue. Bought the car yesterday. heard the noise and then brought it back to the dealer and they said they had no idea. Has the noise that you had diagnosed been developed into anything different?
I also have the knock and vibration sometimes, at idle. It only happens after the car has been driven a while. Sometimes it is not there at all, even after driving a while. I mentioned it to the dealer, and he offered to have me leave it with them for a few days to see if they could replicate it. I said no thanks ( They would just use it to get coffee and donuts, and never have the knocking sound happen, right ???)
The car runs great except for this occasional annoying knock. I worry about it. Will be watching this board !

No, I have the automatic trans. And the knock will almost always disappear if you shut the engine off for a minute and restart it.
First impressions: The shift quality is really,really clunky. I'm a little amazed Nissan couldn't make it any better.
i really wish the driver's seat in my S model could be adjusted lower....This overwhelmingly is my biggest complaint.
Other than these two issues, I am extremely happy with the car. It has a very serene ride....Not the least bit sporting, but the manual shift makes the car involving enough to be entertaining.
It's also very quiet. i'm really enjoying it!
i've never had such an inexpensive car, though, and in the back of my head I find myself wondering how it will age.
But at least for now I am wildly pleased with it. The back seat is enormous... truly!
I highly,highly recommend it!
I agree,quality does not seem to be there in the Versa or the Altima for that matter. Nissan has not addressed their CVT transmission and engine problems on the Versa. Gas mileage and vibration are other matters altogether which they are not even looking at.
Enterprise Car Rental had lots of Versas with CVT transmissions. Just last week our contact at Enterprise told us that they had lots of problems with the CVT transmission on the Versa.
So as far as we are concerned Nissan's 7% defects are not being resolved by the dealerships nor by Nissan Corporate.
I believe Nissan Corporate has committed itself to the CVT transmission as this transmission has the mass they want for their electric cars.
Why make electric cars when you can't even service the good old gas engine? :lemon: Shouldn't Nissan Corporate be taking care of its lemons :lemon:
first?

I just tracked down what I thought was a rear suspension issue on my Altima that turned out to be part of the lug wrench having worked its way out of the little bag it's stored in. When I'd start moving, the end of the wrench would bang against the inside of the well where the spare tire is stored.
Does anyone know how long the Versa should last as long as I drive reasonably and do regular maintenance? How does Nissan compare to Honda or Toyota?
It has NO power. You have to be very careful when pulling onto a busy road or merging into traffic. I live in metro Atlanta and you have to have some get up and go to be able to survive here. I know the 30 MPG in city driving is nice; but, I'd gladly drop to 27 MPG if it meant having a little more acceleration.
This car seems like a great car for my daughter in terms of size and features; but, the lack of power is going to be hard to overcome.
I will not buy one now.
You save me a lot.
7% wow that is way to high
That and some bad paint inside the gas filler door have left a bad taste.
