Eight Versas are now signed up, so I'm going to start collecting data on the car since it's early in the model year. I'll need data on 18 to post results.21 Honda Fits are enrolled, so I might have results for that model as soon as February. Those of you who have signed up, thanks.

Up to 22. Great response from this forum!Now that I've thought through the math, the first official results will be around the end of May. Might still have some numbers around the end of February, though. It'll come down to the response rate.

That seems to be a bit excessive. Have you gone to another dealership to see if they can find the same car? They're not as rare as they were back in October. Yeah, SL's are still kinda hard to find... but 5 months total, at this point, seems excessive.

Still waiting for my SL. It's supposed to have arrived late on the 30th. Checked all the inventory for the city. There are LOTS of S models as well as SLs with CVT. Either people here don't like the Ss, or CVT or the colour of cars in stock. I suspect part of the availability right now is that consumers here are sometimes slow to try a new technology until it has proved itself beneficial. Nobody has a SL with tech package and MT, not to mention that incredibly unpopular colour - Blueberry.

Sounds like the problem is SL with manual. Counts:
Honda Fit 39
Nissan Versa 38 Among the best samples I have so far for any 2007s. Thanks, guys.

I've just signed up my V and submitted my data. The process only takes a few minutes and will be very beneficial. Also, this is a HUGE deal for NICO so we need to get as many people signed up as we can. I've sent some of you emails, so check your emails.

Important: the survey that matters the most, by far, is the one I send the emails out for. So far this month I have responses for 35 Versas, out of 78 signed up. I will have results with this amount, but more would certainly be better.The surveys on the site are entirely optional--I created them because people asked for them.

First a disclaimer: I love my new car.I bought my Versa (sedan, s, automatic & power package) in February. About a week and a half ago I had to have the ignition switch replaced. Came out of work one day and the key wouldn't turn... the service guy at my dealership wasn't even sure what went wrong. He just replaced the whole part. Then yesterday I went to fill up the tank & the gas tank door wouldn't open. I poked around a bit and the cable had come disconnected. I'm having the dealership look at it tomorrow & fix it (hopefully same day). This is my very first new car & I'm wondering if anyone else has had these problems (or similar) with their Versas? What a pain! 3.5 months, just over 3000 miles & two trips to the shop already!

One of ther owners in my panel has had the fuel release issue four times already. I counted that as one trip, because I don't yet count unsuccessful repair trips, otherwise the Versa's stats would look worse than they do.I think one person also had the ignition problem. Look on the bright side--if you were paying for these things out of your own pocket, they'd still be inexpensive as repairs go.

Well that person that reported the fuel release door problem was me. Yes it was 4 trips and each time it would work for a few weeks before the wire would snap out of place from underneath the dash. Poor design in my opinion, but then the seat is so close to the door you cant get you hand down to do a normal fuel door release.
Anyway they jury rigged it somehow so the latch wire only moves a little bit to open the door and it has worked like a charm for months now.

This research works by collecting information on repairs going forward, from the time when people sign up. I hope you'll participate, as a larger sample is always helpful.

is this a common issue. my new versa has just 40 miles on it. purchased it less than a month ago. And now the key just wont turn for ignition.
I checked the front wheels, etc. nothing that should cause it to lock.I am already thinking of trading it in. will i get the same value i bought it for? It a NMAC financed car. I dont want to be spending money, and going to the dealer every other month.

There are now 150 Versas in the panel. A huge thanks to everyone here. I'd also like to repeat that the repair rate will be much lower in the August results. Seems Nissan has found and fixed many of the early issues. Or at least that one they fixed the cars that had them, those cars have not been having additional problems.

We took delivery of our company Versa on June 30th, 2007. First time I tried to get fuel, the door wouldn't open.We too have a disconnected cable. Other then that we're over 3,000 trouble free miles and after pumping up the tires to 35lbs, the last tank delivered 36.4 MPG! So what's the trick to fixing the fuel door cable?

I have had my 2007 Versa sedan for 7 days, and it is in the shop right now because the hood wouldn't close (and then at the dealership they got it to close but couldn't get it to open). I thought for sure it was a broken cable but they told me that wasn't it... I'm waiting for a call to find out what's wrong. I hope this isn't the start of an ongoing problem (I've been reading this board and it seems like broken/disconnected cables are fairly common).Anyway, I just joined up for reliability reporting on True Delta!

I am in the process of signing up right now. I have a 1.8 SL and so far, am loving it. The only problem I've had in the 6 weeks that I've had the car is that I can't get the fuel door to open.

Unfortunately, that's a very common problem. The cable detaches. I assume Nissan has devised a fix that lasts by now. Maybe not?Over 180 now enrolled. How soon 200?

i just singed up, i had my versa for 5 months now , at 4350 miles the service engine soon light came up, i brought the car to the dealer and they pluged it in the computer, they told me it was my gas knob. they told me that when i pumped gas i havr to turn the knob all the way till it clicks. 3 days later the service engine light came on again, went back to the dealer and they said the same code came up when they did a diagnosis test, they checked the wires and fuel pumps and nothing was wrong, so now im driving with the service engine light on, till they get bacj=k at me to let me know whats wrong with my car!!
