CarComplaints.com Notes: Be aware the 2007-2011 Nissan Versa was recalled in the US in May 2016 & July 2017 for defective Takata airbags that are potentially deadly. Many Versa owners have reported problems getting Nissan dealers to complete the recall repair, due to scheduling problems & parts shortages.
If you are considering purchasing a 2007-2011 Nissan Versa, call your local Nissan dealer with the VIN# & ask if the airbag recall has been done.
This problem causes the Service Engine Soon (SES) light to come on until the problem is checked. At first, I thought it was a loose gas cap. But after re-tightening it, the SES light was still on. I brought it to the dealer which then ran a diagnostic to find out that a faulty valve on the catalytic converter needs to be replaced. This valve shuts once a pressure of positive 1 lbs. is reached in the gas tank. It remains open so the SES light turns on as an emissions problem. It's OK to drive the car, but this should be repaired ASAP according to the dealer.
