What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 nissan versa. The contact stated that while attempting to enter the vehicle, the power locks and electrical system failed. The contact also stated that while driving 25 MPH, the power steering assist and the brakes failed without warning, causing her to crash into a telephone pole. The vehicle was destroyed. The contact sustained head trauma and burns to the hands. The passenger sustained back injuries, a hematoma and bruising to the left leg. A police report was filed.
The service engine light began to go on and off as well as a knocking sound had developed. We had our son, who had attended school to become a mechanic, checked it looking at the oil level. The oil was about a quart low and he advised us to take it to carmax where we had purchased the car. After two diagnostic tests and an oil change at $140.00, my husband was told that it needed a new engine. It is burning oil and is being emitted out the exhaust and has excessive engine blow by.
