**changed "recall" to "technical service bulletin" ** Take your V`s in for a checkup!

Tomorrow I am going to the dealer to get my hood fix, is doesn't want to close.

So far on our 2008 no such problem, hopefully they had time to correct this on later production units.

Thanks! I will try it out.

it is an important distinction because recalls are safety related issues and they are something you will get a mailing about versus a TSB which is an internal memo sent only to the dealer (they won't call you) informing them of the problem and how to fix it but only IF it is customer reported.

He's got it right. They are only required to issue a recall if it is a safety issue. Otherwise they put out what is called a Technical Service Bulletin which is the comany admitng the part was defective from the factory. If you go in they have to replace it for free. The NHTSA has a databse of these listed here. http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/c...h.cfm

Mine came like that from the dealer, I'm in FL so the bugs and sun are terrible.... but that film holds up like a champ. Everything that hits it just flies off, or can be easily scrubbed off.

Would the low pressure from the faulty fuel pumps affect the gas mileage at all? If so, that might account for the lower than expected mileage out of these cars.

True! but if you ever run to lean for an extended period of time you can put a hole through a piston or two.

So they authorized a rental car for me and i have this UGLY snow white sentra sitting in my driveway. I have to say..and granted I am biased...but that car is uncomfortable as all get out. Can't wait to get Vanessa back.

me too!! my versa has been in the shop 21 of the 45 days i have owned it and i have been driving a sentra. what a little pig car! the worst part is that the only key entry is on the driver's door so if you want to get in the passenger side you have to unlock the driver's side and push the unlock button on the armrest.

this is funny, im almost in the same boat.
The body shop rented me out a sentra.
I had my car 3 weeks before the gods through down their wrath upon me.
i hope i can start playing with my versa once again in less then a week.

New wheels, new stereo, and i want to do the headlamp blackout once i get her back.

they replaced the fuel pressure regulator or whatever and so far so good.

its only been a few days tho.

I would be. My V hasn't had this happen either, but it was built during the time period that this problem part was being installed. I've got this fear that I'll roll over 36,000 miles, park, and it will die. Because my luck is that fantastic.

Yeah, I'm even more worried, as my Versa had the problem for about 500 miles when I first bought it, then it mysteriously stopped being a problem. In other words, I *know* it has the faulty regulator, but it's not currently acting up enough for me to convince the dealer to replace it.

Doh![

I had it in (before the TSB), and they had it for six days while I was out of town running pressure tests on it, and it passed every single one, so they were unconvinced. I doubt they'd go for a replacement now...

Interesting... I have a 2 week old '08 with 260 miles. Lately we've been hitting 100 degrees and I've noticed that on cold starts I have to hold the key for about 2 seconds before it starts. Normally it fires up right away.
