Hi guys, Bought a 2008 Verda hatch back about month ago but the car has been setting in the garage for about 10 days. So I decided to drive it. When I pulled out, I noticed a 2 inch pile of grease on the garage floor.

Took it to the dealer, they said that the left Cv axle was put on wrong at the factory in mexico. The car has only 530 miles on it. Ive hardly drove it because I am on my bike alot. Nor have I hit any pot holes or curbs.

So I was wondering if anyone has had this on their Versa. My wife bought a 93 Altima (new) and after it had about 2k on it the seals went out. After that no problems.

So heres hoping I didn't buy a lemon. Had a Frontier crewcab without any problems

I am sure the dealer will make it all better. We have 46k miles on the wife's SL-cvt and have had no issues.

Sometimes these things happen, don't let it discourage you, so far you're the first one to have this problem (I've been on this forum since 1/4/07). I've got almost 40k and have had one warranty claim due to a faulty A/C compressor. Enjoy the car!!
