THERE IS A RECALL ON NISSAN VERSA COIL SPRINGS. MY SPRING BROKE WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE ON A BUSY ROAD PRIOR TO THE RECALL. I HAD BOTH SPRINGS REPLACED DUE TO EXCESSIVE RUSTING (REASON FOR RECALL). UPON RECALL... DEALER NOTIFIED ME. SAID THE SPRINGS MUST BE REPLACED AGAIN BY A NISSAN DEALER. THEY QUOTED A PRICE OF $490 TO ME SAYING THAT THE CURRENT SPRINGS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE, BUT STRIPPED BOLTS DUE TO PRIOR REPLACEMENT. NOT ONLY DO THEY NOT REIMBURSE THE ADDITIONAL $490 FOR THE REPLACEMENT... THAT MUST BE PAID UP FRONT PRIOR TO REQUESTING THE COIL SPRING REIMBURSEMENT THEY SAY THAT THE CURRENT SPRINGS ARE FINE... AND THAT THE STRIPPED BOLTS DO NOT CAUSE ANY PROBLEMS.... OTHER THAN DOING THE REPLACEMENT, WHICH IS UNNECESSARY!!!! WHY ARE THEY CHARGING ME FOR A REIMBURSEMENT.... THE WAY I SEE IT, THEY ARE MAKING MONEY OFF A RECALL.... NOT EXACTLY THE WAY THIS IS MEANT TO WORK... I NEARLY WRECK MY CAR DUE TO DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND LATER HAVING A RECALL ON THAT DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT, MONEY IS REQUIRED FROM THE CONSUMER. NO.....

SUSPENSION
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. THERE WERE NO POTHOLES ON THIS ROAD WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THE RESULT WAS IT GOUGING OUT THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE. 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".

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:HORN
TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME EVER SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. ALSO, THE HORN WAS SERVICED MORE THAN TWICE AND FAILED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE DEALER (KELLY NISSAN, INC., 4300 95TH ST, OAK LAWN, IL 60453, (708) 499-1000) WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS NOT RELATED TO AN AIR BAG RECALL REPAIR. THEREFORE, THE VEHICLE WOULD NEED TO BE FURTHER TESTED AND DIAGNOSED TO PROVIDE A REPAIR SOLUTION. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR FACILITY TO REPAIR THE HORN, BUT THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC STATED THAT THE AIR BAG FAILURE NEEDED TO BE DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED FIRST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE MANUFACTURER ISSUED THREE AIR BAG RECALLS, TWO TSBS FOR THE AIR BAGS, AND ONE TSB FOR THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.
