“There has been a popping and creaking noise when turning the wheel at low speeds to the left, the passenger side of the car has now dropped and the spring, struts and mounts have to be replaced. The same issue that these make and models were recalled for, yet the vin does not have any recalls.”

“MY FRONT LEFT SUSPENSION COIL JUST BROKE WHILE DRIVING OVER A SEWER COVER ON A SIDE STREET. THE FRONT LEFT END OF MY CAR DROPPED A NOT AND A METAL PIECE OF COIL FLEW OUT FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY CAR WHICH I RECOVERED. I SEE THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT HAD A RECALL, ALSO NEVER GOT THE AIRBAG RECALLED.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE CONTACT HAD DIFFICULTY CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LEAN TO THE LEFT, WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT TO STEER.

THANKFULLY, THE WORN-OUT COILS WERE NOTICED WHILE THE CAR WAS NOT ON ANY ROADWAY. - 8/21/2018 WAS A TUESDAY.

“RECENTLY MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HER CAR (2010 NISSAN VERSA) AND THE FRONT RIGHT COIL SPRING SNAPPED. SHE WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 20MPH ON A STRAIGHT PAVED ROAD.

SINCE SHE WAS TRAVELING AT A SLOW SPEED AND WAS VIGILANT ENOUGH TO SEE SMOKE AND STOP BEFORE THE TIRE WAS BLOWN OUT. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THE COIL SPRING BREAKING WAS AN ISSUE FOR 07-12 NISSAN VERSES. BUT WHEN CALLING NISSAN ABOUT THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WASN'T COVERED EVEN THO IT IS REGISTERED IN ONE OF THE "SALT BELT STATES".”
