MY FRONT COIL SPRING BROKE WHILE DRIVING; VERY DANGEROUS. I HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC. IT IS STILL IN THE SHOP. TONIGHT I FOUND YOUR RECALL WEBSITE AND LEARNED THE FRONT COIL SPRINGS ARE LISTED FOR RECALL. I NEVER RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FROM NISSAN ABOUT THE RECALL. I SUSPECT THEY ARE NOT NOTIFYING CUSTOMERS.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TRANSMISSION RECALL BUT NOTHING SENT TO TELL US TELLING US THAT THERE WAS A RECALL. WE WERE TOLD IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO CALL THEM. WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR THE CAR JUST STOPPED GOING FORWARD AND STARTED TO COAST TO A STOP. LUCKILY WE WERE ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE BEING TAIL ENDED AND POSSIBLY KILLED. AFTER TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER WE WERE TOLD ALL WAS OK BUT WHEN LEAVING IT WAS APPARENT THE PROBLEM STILL WAS THERE AFTER WE DROVE SOME DISTANCE. TOOK THE CAR BACK IN A COUPLE DAYS AND THEN WE WERE TOLD IT WOULD COST 4200 TO REPAIR BECAUSE IT WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND THERE WERE TO MANY MILES ON THE CAR. TRADED THE CAR IN AT AN ENTERPRISE AFTER TELLING THEM ABOUT OUR TROUBLE; THEY LOOKED UP THE VIN # AND SAID IT WASN'T REPAIRED AS THE RECALL REQUIRED. LOST A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF MONEY BUT WAS MUCH MORE CONCERNED WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR A DEADLY ACCIDENT.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
MY WIFE WAS MAKING RIGHT HAND TURN, ENTERING A HIGHWAY, SHE LOST TOTAL CONTROL OF THE STEERING. THE VEHICLE VEERED TO THE LEFT THEN VEERED TO THE RIGHT. SHE WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE WITHOUT INCIDENT AND PARKED ON THE SHOULDER. HAD CAR TOWED TO GARAGE, MECHANIC INSPECTED SUSPENSION AND STEERING, AND WAS UNABLE TO FIND A PROBLEM. H STATED HE WENT ON LINE AND DISCOVERED SOME STEERING ISSUES. HOWEVER, HE STATED, BECAUSE IT HAS AN ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM, RESETTING THE SYSTEM BY TURNING OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE SHOULD SOLVE THE IMMEDIATE PROBLEM (AS IT WAS STATED ON THE FORUM). THIS IS RIDICULOUS WHEN YOU ARE GOING 60 MPH AND GOING BACK AND FORTH ACROSS THE ROAD. I WENT TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND HE STATED HE KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

WHILE PULLING OUT OF A GAS STATION, I WAS TURNING RIGHT ONTO A ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 20MPH WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP NEAR THE FRONT RIGHT OF THE CAR. THE CAR WOULD SHIFT TOWARDS THE RIGHT WHEN BREAKING. I DIDN'T INITIALLY SEE ANYTHING WRONG AND HAD TO CONTINUE DRIVING IT. WHEN WE CALLED LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIPS, THEY WANTED TOO MUCH TO JUST SIMPLY PUT TUE CAR UP ON A LIFT TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. TOOK IT TO A SMALL LOCAL SHOP, AND HAD IT PUT ON A LIFT. THE SUBFRAME HAD A BUSHING BREAK AND SEPARATE FROM THE MAIN BODY OF THE CAR, CAUSING THE WHOLE SUBFRAME TO MOVE FREELY. AFTER HAVING HAD REMOVED THE SUBFRAME, IT SHOWED ENOUGH CORROSIVE RUST THAT IT APPEARED TO COME OFF OF A CAR THAT SAT UP IN NORTHERN STATES FOR WAY TOO LONG, BEEN DRIVEN ON SALT ROADS, OR EXPOSED TO SALT FOR APPROXIMATELY 15-20 YEARS. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE CAR, AND HAVE NEVER LEFT THE STATE OF FLORIDA IN THE FIVE YEARS I'VE OWNED IT. I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH ONLY 8 MI ON IT AND THE PART FAILED AT APPROXIMATELY 117,000MI. NISSAN REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING WHEN I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP, HOWEVER THIS RUST DID NOT JUST SHOW UP IN THE LAST 17,000MI PAST MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP, AND TWO OTHER SHOPS HAVE HAD TO DO OIL CHANGES, AND NOT ONCE WAS THIS ISSUE BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION. IT DID NOT JUST SHOW UP OVERNIGHT, AND IN NO WAY WITHIN THE LAST 17-20,000 MI.

I HAVE A NISSAN VERSA SL MODEL, THE TRUNK DOES NOT CLOSE PROPERLY. EVERYDAY I HAVE TROUBLE CLOSING THE TRUNK OF MY CAR, THE CAR MAKES A BEEPING SOUND ALARMING ME THAT MY TRUNK IS OPEN, I TRY CLOSING IT AND IT WILL NOT LATCH ON. THE ONLY WAY I CAN CLOSE IT, IS IF I HAVE THE CAR DOOR OPEN. SO I CLOSE THE TRUNK FIRST, THEN I CLOSE THE CAR DOOR IN ORDER FOR MY TRUNK TO CLOSE. THIS IS AN ISSUE AND VERY ANNOYING. PLEASE RECALL THE TRUNK LATCH.

SALESMAN/DEALER DID NOT DISCLOSE VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REPORT WHEN REQUESTED. WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENTS. 1) VEHICLE ROLLS BACK AFTER IT IS PUT IN PARK. MAY HAVE BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH PREVIOUS RECALL. 2) WHEN PUTTING CAR IN GEAR, CAN FEEL TUGGING IN THE FLOOR BOARD OF DRIVER SIDE. CALLED RECALL.GOV AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WERE 4 RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE IN WHICH 2 HAD ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED. CALLED NISSAN DEALER AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR SERVICE FOR 12/31 TO RECTIFY THOSE ISSUES.

MY NISSAN VERSA WAS RECALLED FOR FRONT SPRINGS TO BE REPLACED. I HAD ALREADY HAD THE SPRINGS REPLACED BECAUSE THEY BROKE. I WAS INFORMED THAT I HAD TO HAVE THE SPRINGS REPLACED AGAIN TO SATISFY THE RECALL. THE STRUTS WERE RUSTED OUT, BUT WERE NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE THE STRUTS REPLACED WHEN THE DEALERSHIP BROKE THEM REMOVING THEM TO REPLACE THE SPRINGS. THE STRUTS AND SPRINGS ARE ONE UNIT AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN PART OF THE RECALL. THE SPRINGS DID NOT NEED REPLACED. I WAS CHARGED OVER $250 FOR A RECALL REPAIR THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE COVERED BY NISSAN.

MY 2014 NISSAN VERSA S WILL NOT EXCEED 23 MILES PER HOUR. IT HAPPENED FIRST ON 12/26/15 AND I HAD IT TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THEY CALLED SEVERAL HOURS LATER SAYING THE CAR WAS FINE AND WAS UNABLE TO FIND A PROBLEM. TODAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN 12/28/15 I WAS LEAVING A FROM A DOCTOR APPOINTMENT AND ONCE AGAIN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO FASTER THAN 23MPH. I DROVE THE VEHICLE ABOUT 3 MILES INTO THE NEAREST NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND HAD THEM DRIVE IT SO THEY COULD SEE WHAT I MEANT. THEY DID DRIVE IT AND SAID THEY WILL GIVE ME A LOANER CAR AND WOULD DIAGNOSE MORE TOMORROW. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR SURE,.
