| Repeated flat tires due to air leaks which resulted in finally discovering the tire pressure monitoring valves on 3 of 4 tires were faulty. these valves were $150 each which is more than the tires cost! when took in for repairs, was told that the valves are made of metal which is prone to rust especially where they are located in the tire wells. appears to be faulty engineering. claim by repair personnel that a valve less likely to rust would be best but no valve available that will also meet nissan requirements to provide tire sensor information back to the computer signal. was told that if the sensors were not replaced could have unexpected flats or be dangerous to drive. i drive over 60 miles a day for work so safety is a concern. there needs to be an investigation about need for recall. *tr | |||

| I just bought a 2009 nissan versa. while driving on a wet road and taking a corner the car lost traction forcing me to slow down to almost a halt. the stock tires (185/65r15) seem to be undersized for the high center of gravity. *tr | |||

| 2009 nissan versa. the tpms tire pressure monitoring system the valve stems on all four tires was either cracked and / or defective, two were leaking air so badly i had to fill them back up with air every day> i thought i had driven over some nails that made them leak air. when i went to get them checked, i was shocked to find out it was the valve stems that was casusing the problem. i had to replace them with rubber valve stems. dealship was closed and going to call them about it. but don't think they are covered. just glad i didn't have a blow out or sudden lose of air that could have caused me to wreck. this doesn;t seem to be an isolated problem and the dealer should have a recall on faulty equipment. | |||

| I have had issues with the low-tire sensor since shortly after purchasing my 2009 nissan versa. i kept taking it to the local dealer and they would get it to go off but told me that it was not covered under warranty after 12,000 miles. so i would take my car to a local tire company and they worked on it a few times. when i needed new tires, they replaced all my tires with new ones, and even serviced the pressor sensors. within 1/2 day of driving off with new tires, the sensor came back on. it has been on since. this system could save lives if we didn't have to ignore them so much!!! don't get me wrong, i love my versa. i would rather it had a reliable tire pressure sensing system. | |||

| We have had nothing but trouble with tire sensor on the nissan versa. one has been removed because it is cracked and another one is failing. what happens is the tires loose an extreme amount of air because of this failure and could cause a catastrophe. we were told by nissan that this is not covered under warranty but we would be glad to order 2 new sensors for approximately $300.00. that price is more than the tires are worth and we replaced the stems with standard ones and our light for tire sensor still is on and i am constantly checking the other 2 tires to see if a dangerous situation is developing. | |||

| I bought my car brand new in may 2009. in the midst of a harsh winter, we noticed that our tire was going flat and the tpms light was on. we bought a new tire and the same thing happened. it was discovered that the tpms guage was cracked and leaking air. after research i found that nissan recalled several vehicles for this exact problem. because my nissan versa was not part of the recall, they refused to cover it. the guage needs to be replaced and it cannot be driven safely without it. | |||
