2009 Nissan Versa suspension problems

“The contact owns a 2009 Nissan Versa. The contact stated that while driving out of a parking lot at 10 MPH, the front end of the vehicle made an abnormally loud sound, and the contact noticed a strong rubber odor. The contact inspected underneath the vehicle and became aware that a part had fractured underneath the vehicle. The contact was able to reverse into the parking space. Several independent mechanics were contacted and advised that the failure might be related to the front coil springs corrosion and associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V573000 (Suspension); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The contact stated that even though the vehicle was not registered in the States listed in the recall, the vehicle had been driven in one of the States listed while the contact was in school. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.”

“There is a safety recall campaign for the front coil springs breaking for all Nissan Versas registered in "salt states" The car is registered in a "salt state" and the the front coil has snapped. For a reason that neither corporate Nissan nor the local Nissan service center can explain, this car is excluded from repair.”

“REPLACING THE EXHAUST THE REAR SPRINGS WERE BROKEN TO THE POINT THE INSULATORS FELL OUT . THE SPRINGS ON BOTH THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WERE BREAKING. THERE WASN'T ANY SIGNIFICANT RUST ON THE SPRINGS THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE FRONT WHICH WAS DONE. THE INSULATORS MISSING MAKES A METAL TO METAL CONTACT WHICH WOULD MAKE IT WEAR OUT FASTER AND MORE PRONE TO RUST. WHY ARE THE SPRINGS BREAKING?”

“BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR RECALLS AN DEALERSHIP DECIDED TO BREAK MY CAR AN NOT NOTIFY ABOUT BREAKKING OTHER PARTS THERE WERE NOT RECALLED AN I NEED A LF SWAY BAR LINK RF BALL JOINT AN COUPLE OTHER PARTS THEY BROKE MY RF SWAY BAR LINK AN NEVER TOLD ME WHEN I CALLED 4 TIMES THAT DAY. I EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED TO DEALERSHIP AN COOPERATE AN NOW MY CAR IS NOT DRIVEABLE BECAUSE IT IS HIGHLY UNSAFE AN IM VERY PISSED I HAVE A 8 MONTH OLD BABY WITH MEDICAL PROBLEMS AN CANT USE MY CAR”

“WHEN BACKING CAR MAKES A MOANING NOISE. I JUST LEARNED OF A RECALL FOR FRONT SPRINGS COIL SPRINGS. RECALL ID 239045. YOUR SITE SAYS THAT MY CAR ISNT UNDER IT BUT SHOULD BE. THE CAR TO MY KNOWLEDGE WAS FIRST SOLD IN FLORIDA. I BOUGHT IT FROM CARMAX IN VA. FLORIDA WAS NOT ONE OF THE RECALL STATES BUT VA IS. WE USE ROAD SALT HERE. IT SEEMS TO DO IT IN HOT WEATHER.”
