Last night I took our 07 Versa (6M, 4dr SL) to the dealer for an oil change. While I was driving home, the service engine soon light came on. I immediately pulled over and called the dealer. The service rep I spoke to didn't seem too concerned with what I described and said I was fine to drive it and to bring it back in the morning. This morning the dealer ran the diagnostics and determined a bad gas cap was the culprit (emission control issue). They've ordered a new cap, which is under warranty and said this should solve the issue. I asked if they had seen this was common, but of course they wouldn't or couldn't really comment on it. I think they've seen this alot. BTW..When I left the dealer, the light had gone out.

25K miles on never had that problem, in fact you are the first person to say anything about this.

Have you driven a Fit? I did and it has the worst ride of any compact I've driven. You're right about the back hatch and the access space, but just try taking the Fit out on the highway at 70mph and you will think you are driving a Mack truck! The car vibrates so much it is uncomfortable holding the steering wheel. I drove a Versa SL Hatchback and was pleasantly surprised at how smooth and quiet the ride was at 70mph. The pick was every bit as good if not better than the Fit. I haven't bought yet, but it won't be a Fit.

I think any mechanic who hooks a portable diagnostic computer up to the car can reset all data and alerts. It doesn't mean that the alert won't come back on soon though, if the problem persists or is intermittent. The fleet mechanic here told me that it usually takes several trips to trigger most alerts when a condition was not repaired but the alert was reset.

I've driven my Fit on the highway at over 80mph and never had a vibration. My guess is that you had an out of balance tire. Steering and handling are common high points to the Fit.

It's not uncommon, if that helps. the sensors for emmision control are very sensitive and it doesn't take much to trigger the check engine light. If the light went out, whatever condition caused it to come on has gone away. In the past, the light used to stay on till it was reset. but with newer cars it will go off if it no longer detects the problem.

Well my fellow Versa owners, the time has come for me to say good-bye. It was hard for me to move on, but the time was right. I was one of the first people to have bought a Versa in the US, and really grown to respect the little car, For the money, in my mind there isn't a better car. But I traded my Versa in on a 08 Altima Coupe, I got a great deal on this car, it was used (yes virginia there are stupid people out there) with 400 miles on it. Its a fully loaded 2.5S I have to say, the next Gen bluetooth is simply AMAZING... Good luck to all..
