I bought my Versa SL 08, in Sept of 07. A couple problems right away...I have had to have my fuel pump replaced about 7 months ago because the pressure would not build enough to start the car. That was problem 1, which has been resolved.Problem 2, my gas pedal and brake pedal seem to vibrate heavily intermitenly when driving. This seems to get worse when the tires have been recently rotated . Question, has anyone had this experience or may know what the issue could be?When I first bought the vehicle it was a smooth ride, now with the vibrations, it doesnt feel smooth anymore.

How many miles do you have on the tires? Does your steering wheel vibrate too?

Did you ask the dealer?

Did you hit any potholes? Any aggressive driving?

Definitely need to get the wheel balance checked out. It sounds like that is a likely suspect for your vibrations. It shouldn't be too expensive either and any ANY tire shop can do it.

Have you been on any muddy roads lately? Mud on the inside of rims can cause a nasty shake.

"Got mud in your tires?""Let me ask a question, how do you get mud into the tires?"

UPDATEI have had the alignment and balance...They did adjust and I still have the same problem.The dealer does not know what could cause this and thinks that I am crazy...Has anyone else experienced this?The steering wheel doesnt shake and the tires have 15000 on them.

CodeRed had this problem. If I recall, it was a loose or faulty stabilizer bar or bent strut...

Thanks, that may help. I was figuring that it must be something regarding those. Next time I have it in I will have them check that. I wouldnt be suprised since I already had a faulty fuel injector...
