No recall. Somehow car engine caught on fire, but the heat engine light never came on or any warning lights. The airbag light came on and my horn starting going off. The whole engine and then front part of the car became engulfed in flames. This occurred while the vehicle was in motion on a city street, going straight at about 30 mph.

Over the course of the last 3 years, my 110,000 mile Versa stalls and does not start, randomly. Sometimes in driveway, sometimes stall mid-drive. Sometimes after driving highway or residential fine after turning off, and returning it won't start. Sometimes after this it will restart after taking a break and then trying again a third or fourth time. You never know.4 mechanic shops, including Nissan dealership (twice) could not figure it out. No diagnostic is clear on the issue. One mechanic found a theft/security code come up, but both sets of keys work and both remote locks work. I called the lock reset people and they said it sounds more like a computer problem. Frustrating and dangerous. I do all the required and recommended maintenance and checks. This is bad.

When I started, the car I was surprised by a loud sound. I called the mechanic who came to my home. It turns out the sound was the muffler. I had to replace a rusted muffler for a car with low mileage. The car is driven short distances 1-2 times a week.

My 2007 Nissan Versa is having issues starting, I've brought it to the dealership a few times to get fixed and im being told that there is nothing wrong with it. Those only happens occasionally, when I try to start it just constantly cranks for a few second... it will do this a few times before it actually does crank.
