So for thanksgiving weekend the family piled into the Versa and drove 450 miles or so to Maryland. Mountainous terrain was no problem I was surprised to find out. Cruise on, 70 up, 70 down. Didn't have to downshift once, I figured she would struggle from what I had read on some the CVT owner comments. But I digress...

After the trip there, the car was parked for ~72 hours. Jumped in, gave it the customary two turns of the ignition, and nothing. Huh? Grind on the starter a bit... Nothing. Try again, this time about 8-10 cranks of ignition, and it sputters ever so slightly. Try again, pedal pushed maybe 25% and she roared to life with a smell of fuel in the cabin. Driven daily after that, with the return trip completed problem free. I will say the 1st start after the return trip, it ran rough for just a second but cleared right up and drove fine.

Question being, am I showing the 1st symptom of the FPR problem, or is this something potentially more serious.

'09 6-speed. I think I fall into the end of the recall period.

If you are under warranty still ask them to replace the FPR just to be on the safe side. That's what I did.

I think I will, it makes me kind of salty to think that I have a newer, well maintained vehicle and I could potentially put up with it not starting every once in awhile.

Took it in, of course dealer was not able to replicate issue. No codes were thrown, they showed me the paperwork. (It even had the code when the tpms light went on for 2 minutes on my road trip) They said wait until it happens again, don't grind till it starts, and have it towed in. Then basically thanked me for wasting their time as they ushered me out the door, even after a very knowledgeable query as to whether or not it may do with the fuel pump. I'm feeling kind of slighted, but because the car didn't record the issue I'm not sure I have the ground to stand on and fight it. I really don;t want to wait for my car to be unusable before the problem gets fixed.:confused5:

The other dealer around here is even shiftier than these guys this particular visit. Up till now the service had been nothing but stellar, and I would still recommend them. They have replaced several things I have broken under warranty, most recently a stripped back wiper. Kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Thread hijack: Ashley, did you see they are bringing back the NB? I think in 2012 or 13. Oprah gave some away the other day, or so I heard.:jumping:
