THE CRASH WAS RELATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V573000 (SUSPENSION). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.”

“REAR COIL SPRINGS BROKE FOR SIMILAR REASONS THAT THE FRONT COIL SPRINGS BREAK. (FRONT COIL SPRINGS ARE CURRENTLY UNDER RECALL). REAR COIL SPRINGS BROKE CAUSING A FLAT TIRE. REAR COIL SPRINGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED TO SAFELY DRIVE THE VEHICLE; AND THE FLAT TIRE NEEDED REPLACED. REAR COIL SPRINGS WERE NOT PROPERLY MANUFACTURED AND COATED. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, ON A TOWNSHIP ROAD.”

“I LIVE IN THE KANSAS CITY METRO, ON THE KANSAS SIDE, LESS THAN 10 MINUTES FROM THE BORDER TO MISSOURI. THERE IS A CURRENT RECALL THAT APPLIES TO THE FRONT COIL SPRINGS OF NISSAN VERSAS (NHTSA RECALL 17V-637) BECAUSE THE SPRINGS HAVE INSUFFICIENT CORROSION COATING. THIS CURRENT RECALL APPLIES TO MISSOURI BUT NOT KANSAS. I DRIVE MY CAR IN MISSOURI ALL THE TIME BECAUSE OF MY PROXIMITY TO MISSOURI AND MY HUSBAND IS EMPLOYED IN MISSOURI. MY FRONT, RIGHT COIL SPRING BROKE ON MARCH 17, 2018. THE COIL SPRING BROKE WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY PARKING SPOT AT MY APARTMENT IN A LOT THAT IS RELATIVELY NEW AND FLAT, MEANING NO POT HOLES. A LOUD BANG WAS HEARD AND WHEN MOVING THERE WAS A LOUD CREAKING SOUND. AFTER PULLING OUT ABOUT 3 FEET I PULLED BACK IN AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. I FOUND A ROUND METAL OBJECT ON THE GROUND NEAR THE FRONT WITH RUST ON IT. IT WAS FLAT ON ONE END AND BROKEN ON THE OTHER. AFTER INSPECTING THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE'S WHEEL WELL I DISCOVERED THAT THE REMAINING PART OF THE COIL SPRING HAD SLIPPED OFF THE STRUT LIP AND PART OF THE COIL WAS PRESSING HARD AGAINST THE TIRE.

“FRONT COIL SPRING SHATTERED TEARING UP FRONT TIRE THIS EXACT PROBLEM WAS NOTED FOR VERSA IN RECALL 15V573000 DATE 09/14/2015. MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. IT APPEARS THAT THE RECALL WAS TO LIMITED. AFTER GETTING CAR REPAIRED NISSAN HAS REFUSED TO PAY FOR MY REPAIR COSTS STATING THE CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL. LUCKILY I PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY WHEN THE SPRING EXPLODED. I THINK THE RECALL WAS TO LIMITED AND I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED TO MY EXPENSES.”

“MY CAR IS UNDER 100,000 MILES AND FAILED INSPECTION DUE TO SUB FRAME BUSHING MISSING. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THESE PARTS USUALLY LAST FOR UP TO 200,000 MILES. HE ALSO TOLD ME MY TIRE COULD'VE COME RIGHT OFF THE CAR WITH THIS PART MISSING. THIS COULD'VE CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT OR FATALITY! CAN YOU PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. I'VE DOWN SOME RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND LOTS OF VERSAS FROM 2007-2009 MODELS HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS.”
