#1 of 17 cracked windshield by ttexastommy Sep 05, 2007 (5:32 pm)
I have a crack in the lower left corner of my windshield. The auto glass people said that they had just fixed another Versa. Is this a common problem? I have no way of knowing if this is a stress crack. I am not aware of anything happening that might have caused it. Has anyone else had this problem? I still love my V after 4000 miles.

Replying to: ttexastommy (Sep 05, 2007 5:32 pm) Hi, I just experienced the exact same issue on Sunday. I drove the car a few kilometres on Saturday and there was no pb. On Sunday, I drove a little bit more and then I noticed a crack starting from the bottom of the windshield right in front of me. The crack rose a few centimetres and then angled to the right and spread right across to the passenger's side.   I seem to read a few other people have the same problem. Seems like a manufacturing defect.   We should spread the word and get some traction. There is no way I will pay to replace or fix it if it's a manufacturer's problem.   My email is aurey at linux dot ca Feel free to contact me if you had the same problem. I can put up a website in no time.   thx

Replying to: ttexastommy (Sep 05, 2007 5:32 pm) i just noticed the same thing on my versa, after only 5000 miles. Same crack that both of you have said, started on the bottom on the drivers side and went upwards a couple inches then across to the passenger side. Glad i found this site thought i was the only one with this problem.

Replying to: santoro1 (Feb 18, 2008 5:59 am) I had the same thing happen to my car. I replaced a windshield about 3 months ago because I had a crack in it that started from the bottom right driver's side that went in a few inches and started going up the windshield. I just replaced that windshield yesterday because I had a crack coming from the bottom of the drivers side of the windshield that went up a few inches and spread about two feet across the bottom of the windshield. Has anyone heard of a recall on this? Replies to this message: furl1 (Sep 22, 2008 4:15 am)

Replying to: furl1 (Sep 06, 2008 12:51 pm) Well it has been less than three weeks and once again I have the same crack in my windshield. I just had my car serviced on Friday at the Nissan dealership where I bought the car, and asked them if they have had a lot of problems with the windshields in this car. I was told that they did not. I drove the car home and it sat in my driveway for the weekend, until it was time for me to go to work today. I got into my car and had the same exact crack in the windshield. It started from the bottom of driver's side and went up several inches and spread towards the passenger's side. This is getting a little ridiculous for me. This will now be my 4th windshield in less than a year.

Replying to: ttexastommy (Sep 05, 2007 5:32 pm) Same problem here... just showed up on Friday, on my '08 Versa with about 8,000 miles. Good to know this is a common problem, and from the sound of things, it seems like there shouold be a recall. Replies to this message: furl1 (Sep 22, 2008 3:17 pm)

Replying to: arhea1 (Sep 22, 2008 10:10 am) When I was at the service department on Saturday, I asked the person helping me if there were a lot of problems with the windshields on Versa. He said that he did not hear of one on this car, but there were a few Altima's that had a similar problem. Has anyone had this problem and had the dealership replace the windshield?
#9 of 17 Versa windshield by flintversa Oct 22, 2008 (7:03 am)
Nissan needs to work on the vibration in the windshield area, I took my 2008 Versa in after vibration throughout windshield area. I was hearing the plastic shifting and making cracking sounds. After the mechanic and myself took it out on a test drive he came back and used weather striping to pad the plastic around windshield and that has solved the vibration to that area. However, If you have anything empty in the cupholders in the car, once again you hear vibration. This is more than likely the issue with everyones cracked windshields.
#10 of 17 Versa Windshield by chrscote Feb 27, 2009 (4:32 pm)
I am having a similar issue with my Nissan Versa sedan. I haven't owned it a year yet, but I've already replaced 2 windshields and have a crack in the third. My crack, however, has appeared on the passenger side, in the black area below the dash, and come up a few inches before traveling across to the driver's side of the car. The first time it happened, I simply called the insurance company and had it repaired. About 4-5 months later, I had the same type of crack in a similar spot. The guy at the dealership came out and traced the crack until he found a small hole (about the size of a pin hole) and told me I must have been hit by a stone. I didn't think too much about it and just called the insurance company and had it repaired.    Well, now it hasn't even been 3 months and I have the same crack on the passenger's side. I can't believe how many others have had the same problem.   Chris
