Because many owners commonly drive 20,000 miles/year or more, Versa owners experiencing CVT transmission problems may find they are not covered by this settlement due to the mileage limitation.
Heat shield rattling when took it in for 30k maintenance. Told was loose and fixed. Now, 9k miles later problem reoccurred, of course out of warranty. Now shield broken in many spots, cost of $100.00 to fix. Told it had rusted. Humm, interesting. Ironic if it is a known issue. Have another 2912' still under warranty, may call to just have it replaced. On my 39k Versa they just removed shield. Any suggestions?
This is the SECOND time now in 50,000 miles that the catalytic converter heat shield has broken and come loose. The first time I thought it was just a fluke. Now happening a 2nd time within such a short period of time, it's obviously a quality problem relating to design. At the current mileage, the car is no longer out of warranty. So, I have to shell out money on my 2yr old car to get this fixed a 2nd time. Very unhappy with the quality of this car (this and other problems) on a Nissan vehicle.
I HAVE TALKED 5 OTHER PEOPLE INTO BUYING A VERSA AND EVERYONE HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. MINE HAPPENED FIRST AND I WARNED THEM WHAT TO LISTEN FOR.....THE PLATE BREAKS RIGHT WHERE THE MOUNT BOLTS ARE BECAUSE THE METAL IS ALMOST AS THIN AS TIN FOIL.
Problem was fixed by the dealer 14 Jan with no problem. Now it is 25 Apr 13, the rattling noise is back, but this time, even louder than the replacement shield. Nissan really needs to take a look at this.

The car suddenly began making a very loud, rattling metallic noise while stopped at a traffic light. After dealer inspection, it turned out that the tabs that hold the exhaust heat shield to the body of the car had somehow ripped off. The heat shield needed to be replaced under warranty. A quick, easy fix. Took less than 30mins.
