SUSPENSION, STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS:UNDERBODY SHIELDS
MY SUSPENSION SPRING SNAPPED WHILE PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH NISSAN VERSAS. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN NA AND MY LOCAL DEALER AND THERE IS NO CURRENT RECALL. I REPLACED BOTH SPRINGS AND THEY WERE BOTH RUSTED AND FLAWED. LUCKILY I WASN'T TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT THE TIME, OR IT COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE. I ENCOURAGE THOSE WHO HAVE SIMILAR EXPERIENCES TO CONTACT NISSAN AND FILE COMPLAINTS BOTH WITH THE NA OFFICE AND NHTSA. *TR

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ONE DAY MY FOOT WAS ON THE GAS, CARS IN FRONT OF ME WERE COMING TO A SUDDEN STOP. I WENT TO REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE GAS TO BRAKE AND MY SHOE WAS STUCK IN THE PLASTIC AREA NEAR THE GAS PEDAL. I HAD TO SNATCH IT OUT. SOME HOW THE PLASTIC SNAGGED ON TO MY SHOE. THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST OR LAST TIME, BUT THE SCARIEST. I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE SINCE FEBRUARY THIS YEAR, 2014. *TR ... UPDATED 03/19/15*BF

SUSPENSION
BOTH FRONT COIL SPRINGS ON MY 2009 NISSAN VERSA SNAPPED IN HALF ON THE SAME DAY. THERE WAS NO APPARENT RUST OR FATIGUE. THE FRONT LEFT TIRE WAS GOUGED OUT BEYOND REPAIR FROM ONE OF THE SPRINGS (I AM LUCKY IT DIDN'T PUNCTURE AND BURST WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT.) I HAD TO REPLACE BOTH COIL SPRINGS, THE MOUNTS, THE SWAY BARS, AND THE TIRE, COSTING ME NEARLY $1000 IN REPAIRS. I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS IS ACCEPTABLE ON A 5 YEAR OLD VEHICLE WITH RELATIVELY FEW MILES ON IT. *TR

FRONT COIL SPRINGS BROKE ON 2009 NISSAN VERSA WHEN PULLING OUT OF DRIVEWAY. FOUND PIECE OF METAL UNDER LEFT SIDE OF CAR THAT WAS PART OF THE SPRING. THE RIGHT SIDE COIL WAS ALSO BROKEN. I HAVE SAVED BOTH SPRINGS FOR REVIEW. WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS OF THIS CAR THAT IS DRIVEN MAINLY BY MY DAUGHTER TO AND FROM SCHOOL/WORK. VERY FRIGHTENING SITUATION FOR HER. COST TO REPAIR BOTH COIL SPRINGS WITH LABOR WAS $430.72 FROM A TRUSTED NEIGHBORHOOD MECHANIC SINCE THIS DID OCCUR ON A HOLIDAY WEEKEND. *TR
