Shortly after purchasing a new 2010 Nissan Versa in 2011 I noticed that every time the vehicle was driven at about 15 plus mph there was a loud clunking noise for about 15 seconds. If the brake pedal was pushed there would be a heavy felt vibration. Twice it seems as though the front end shook. The vehicle was taken to the shop three times and different parts were replaced/repaired. They did not seem to know what the problem was. On the fourth and subsequent times I complained, they said it was the antilock brake system self check system causing the problem and it was normal. The dealership (jeff wyler Nissan of fairfield.Ohio refused to correct the defect. The manufacturer referred me back to the dealership stating that it was normal per the dealership. The manufacturer refused to test drive or check out the problem. It seems like the Nissan corporation likes to operate the same way as General Motors does in my opinion. The almighty dollar and the heck with the consumer.
