After getting my Alternator replaced at Nissan I noticed that I idle pretty low. I'm not sure if it has always been this way or if it just now started doing it.
Anyways here are some pics:
Also I do have a CVT if that matters. Don't know much about cars but just figured that I would ask.
I just have 400 miles left on my warranty and according to Nissan I have electrical problems. Just want to make sure everything that was damaged got fixed correctly before I have to start paying for it out of my own pocket. You know?
As of right now the shaking problem is fixed and it hasn't done it since the new alternator was put in. So that makes me SUPER happy since I have had to take my car in like 4 times for it.
Strange they say it was an alternator issue....did you by chance check to see if it is a new alternator? My old car had an elec issue and I marked the bottom of the alternator before taking it in.
They charged me because they said the fault was from my audio system and they had to replace the alternator.....should have seen the maintenance manager fumble and go red when we went outside and underneath the alternator in texta was "they haven't replaced me" and a smiley face
Wow. I can't believe that happened to you! But that is pretty funny.
I didn't check to see if they replaced it no, but I know the lady down there very well (she gave me her personal number lol) so I am hoping they didn't do that this time.
The first time I went in my car shook pretty bad and my car just turned off. I had to get my car towed in because it wouldn't start back up and apparently all that happened was my fuel pump fuse blew. About a month later my car broke down again. So I was like ok well I will just go get a new fuse and drive it back down there, so I had someone come pick me up to get fuses and every time we put one in and tried to turn it over it just lit up and blew the fuse. I had to get my car towed down there for a second time and I find out that they actually did fix stuff the first time, they just failed to tell me and than said that my tow bill couldn't be covered.
So far so good.. I haven't really drove with my underglow on recently cause I got pulled over so I'm layin low for a bit. But I do plan on going back into Nissan and have them test the alternator because she said that it's possible that I am taking too much power (cause of the lights and subs) and hat its not able to recharge. So if thats the case it shouldn't put out as much power as it should and I will take off my lights.
I don't plan on taking them off, its just if it is the reason why my car is breaking I have too... I HONESTLY don't think it is but she insists. I told them I'm not gonna take them off before they prove it to me unless they are gonna pay the $250 it costs to get them reinstalled.
(I have wheel well and interior lights that still need to go on! lol)
We lifted my car up in the air at Nissan to see if there was anything funky going on and it looked good. I peeled back the carpet to glance at the harness and all that and it all looks good there too..
Hello all. My 2007 Nissan Versa SL is having intermittent issues with the ignition. I have a key fab and twice in the past week I have not been able to unlock my car automatically. Instead, I have to manually use the key to unlock it. Then I cannot turn the ignition with the key fab or when I...
What are the things that go wrong with these?
100k Miles?
200k Miles?
is 300k Miles an expectation?
I do a lot of my own maintenance as well. Do these have a timing belt that needs a 800 dollar swap every 60K miles? Transmissions holding up ok?
I keep cars till the literally die. I am in a...

Hello! I just want to ask a question about my Nissan Versa SV. Sometimes, when we turn it on in the morning, we hear like a quick scratching metal sound coming somewhere in front of the passenger seat. This happens specially when it rains. The sound only last for a second and it’s gone. Has...
Hey all, I've got a 2009 Hatchback Versa (1.8 L, 122 HP). I am planning to move about 1000 miles this summer and am looking at my "options". I don't own much and would end up renting a 5' x 8' trailer for all my belongings, but I understand that trying to tow with a versa is probably a very...
