Just driving alone minding my own business and there it goes ... flying across the median. Went online and bought a brand new one - yep happened again.
I had to enter a date for this complaint, but it is of no use since I have lost multiple hub caps over the last three years. They just keep falling off no matter what you buy or do. They are worthless!
First, it was a small crack. Then a large crack. And then it fell off and I have no idea where it went. It could have hit another car for all I know. The cheap case my phone is in has stronger plastic than the hubcaps. COME ON NISSAN. YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS. My car isn't the only one. I ended up taking them off because it looked stupid with 3 silver caps and one black. Gahhhh
I bought my Used 2008 Nissa Versa because my chevy Avalanche is not efficient for my 85 mile one-way commute to work. So far, I've discovered a rattling noise that only engages when the car is hot, the sun roof leaked when I went through the car wash, the drink holders are in ridiculous locations and now my hub cap "just falls off"???? I understand the concept of a less expensive car but COME ON.... this is just plain cheap. And for Nissan not to replace this without the "lost" hubcap is ridiculous. I think I'll stay with Chevy from now on.

I have a 2008 Nissan Versa and each hubcab has fallen off at least once. I have replaced with new Nissan Hubcaps- but they continue to fall off. The clips are cheap plastic- and from Nissan this is unacceptable. I have seen a ton of Versas with missing hubcaps. Now my cute car looks like it belongs in the Ghetto because I can't afford a new hubcap once a week.
Wheel covers fell off after about a year and a half of owning the vehicle. Seems to be a common problem. I bought aftermarket wheelcovers which look very similar to the orignal, except they actually stay on much better. It took quite a bit of force to get these replacements on, and I'm sure they aren't going anywhere. I found them on Amazon when searching for Versa wheel covers.

Hub caps fall off. Faulty clips yet no recall. When you see a Versa driving down the street chances are 1 hubcap is missing.
