I have a 2007 Versa and am not happy with it lately and also not happy with the Nissan dealership in Windsor, ON.
In the last few months my engine light would come on at times like starting the car or be idle at a red light.
I went to shops and friends who have the little devise to read the engine codes and in all of those instances the code was P2127 Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor 2. I would ask them to clear the code and continue driving until I made an appointment with the dealership. Although I had the code printed for confirmation, the Windsor Nissan dealership charged me $113 for their own diagnostic to get the same code :-(. They suggested to change the pedal and I agreed, which cost me another $200 + , waited for a few days to get the part in the shop. The service technician and administrator assured me that the new pedal is from the "new generation" pedals with an updated sensor.
I was happy to drive the car out of the place just to get the engine light back on the very next day with the same trouble code.
My husband took the car back to the dealership and complained that the problem is persisting and they need to look at the reason why the light keeps coming back on with the same code.
The technician asked that my car be brought there for a another diagnostic where they would start eliminating other possible problems such as cruise control and others, and will charge me around a $100 per hour for labour. Are these people insane? It may take them days to figure it out! I will go bankrupted!
We did remove the cruise control and the there is no change. We do not know how to fix it, since the code is for the pedal and the problem is not in it...
I am driving the car for 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the evening to and from work. In the last week or so, the pedal has stopped working in the 20th minute of driving, and when I press on it, the car doesn't speed up. At these times, I need to pull over, shut the engine off, wait for 2 minutes, start the car and go again. The traffic colleagues are very unhappy with my "driving" behaviour and I get lots of honks, I am afraid someone will hit me too. Sometimes I when I am pressing and pressing on the pedal while looking for the nearest place to pull over and hoping that I don't need to stop, the pedal registers and the car speeds up and then again looses speed.
With the resent Toyota problems (Accelerator Pedal), I am extremely scared to drive my Versa. What if the pedal desired to behave in the way that the car speeds up instead of slow down.. I may kill myself or someone else as it was in the news for Toyota.. My sister was looking into buying Versa, I need to tell her not to...
OK, enough venting..
If anyone knows how to deal with this situation, please advise.
Thank you all
