I have 2 things.
1. when coming to a stop, such as a stop light. my car shudders a bit just before coming to a stop. it is from the transmission. anyone else hear of this?
No very concerned because I have 110,000 mile warranty one tranny. car has 21,700 miles right now.

2. my lifters make so much noise. it sounds like a bad case of tap it from hell. way louder in cold weather of course but even when it is 100 outside when I first start my baby up. clickity clack! sounds like a diesel almost.
I did read on a nissan forum aster I bought car that the versa has a problem with loud lifters. long range I am worried.
anyway anyone else hear of these two issues?


oh yeah I also have a thumping sound. it is faint and only after car is first started, and driven say 50 yards.. brief fast thump for 5 seconds then gone.
dealer told me to get hearing checked LOL but passengers have mentioned it to me. so....... thump thump thump..... and no. it is hatch back... there is noone locked in trunk........ hahahaha

There is an automatic ABS system check at about 10mph after startup. Definitely noticable, not a problem.

Lifter noise [exagerrated when cold] is normal with many makes and models.
Change oil
Change oil
Change oil regularly, and don't use cheap garbage oil.
IDK about shudder when slowing.
okays, well thanks for the help.
The shudders I have not seen anyone else on any forum post about it. so.... I will continue to ignore/monitor it.
The oil change is no problem, I have it changed every 2,700 - 3,000 miles.
always use good oil and filter.

Whats the lifters?
