Unhappy HUB CAPS THAT FLY!

Has anyone else had thier hub caps come off? It's a known issue with the Versa that the hub cap tabs break off and the cap will go flying. I've seen it posted on some of the other sites talking about Versas but not on here yet. Word is that the dealer will get you set straight with another cap, but how long will they do this over the life of the car?

I'm going to Baker-Jackson Nissan this evening and see how they handle the situation. I will post who and how everything went later on.

Well, the guys at Baker-Jackson in Houston gave me very little hassle about getting another cap. All they did was looked on the rim for any signs of an impact (which there wasn't any) and then popped on a brand new cap. On down the road within 30 minutes of getting there. Not bad I'd say. Hopefully this will not be a reoccuring issue or at least until I get some rims on my beast.

hubcabs

Hello. I havent bought a vesra yet so that is why i am here looking. But i have a 97 Altima that i have or had a hard time of keeping hubcabs on so i came up with this idea that works great use wire ties some call them zip ties it the little plastic things that you put around wires to hold them together. I havent looked at the versa wheels that close but i sure it will work on them. i havent lost hub cab since and that was about 3 years ago when i started using them.

Just take the caps off and keep them off. What's the big deal? When you sell the car, pop them back on and the car looks new.

I put a set of Motegi wheels on my 2007 Versa and will sell you the OEM alloy wheels for $500.00 which includes shipping. Therefore.... no more hubcap problems.

Unhappy Versa Hub Caps

One of mine, too, became airborne. I'm going to the dealer tomorrow to see what they will do to correct this. Plastic hub caps.....I never thought I'd see that. I do really like my Versa in general, though.

My wife had the same problem with her 93 Altima. We ended up buying plastic ones at wal-mart and they never flew off. Go figure.
