AIR BAGS
THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON DASHBOARD KEEPS BLINKING AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT SAYS IT IS OFF ON THE CENTER CONSOLE EVEN WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. HAD IT CHECKED ONCE BEFORE AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT AN ISSUE AND A FRIEND WHO HAD THE SAME LIGHTS ON HER 2007 VERSA HAD TO GO ON THREE TIMES TO GET IT TURNED OFF AFTER BEING CHECKED. IT WOULD KEEP COMING BACK ON AND FINALLY TOOK IT IN FOR THE FOURTH TIME THEY SAID SHE WOULD NEED TO PAY FOR REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS AND IT WAS OGLING TO COST $1200 BUT SHE TOOK IT TO A SECOND OPINION AND THEY TOLD HER A CABLE UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS BROKEN AND NEEDED TO BE FIXED FOR $80 AND IT FIXED HER VERSA. I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO TAKE MINE IN TO GET CHECKED FOR THE SECOND TIME BUT IT CONCERNS ME DRIVING WONDERING IF IT'S BROKE. OR JUST A SMALL CABLE THAT NEEDS FIXING

MY CAR WAS AT JONES JUNCTION NISSAN ON 1/31/15 FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT. WHEN THE TECH LOWERED THE CAR FROM THE LIST THE SHOCK COIL ON THE DRIVER SIDE SNAPPED. WE REPLACED IT AND THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE ACCIDENT. 8 MONTHS LATER ON 8/10/15, AT SOME POINT WHILE MY CAR WAS SITTING IN THE COMPANY PARKING LOT OF MY WORK BUILDING THE PASSENGER SIDE SHOCK COIL SNAPPED. I DIDN'T NOTICE THE ISSUE UNTIL PULLING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AND HEARING THE SOUND OF METAL ON METAL. ONCE THE CAR WAS TOWED TO JONES WE SAW IT WAS THE OTHER COIL SNAPPING. WHILE MAKING REPAIRS WE DISCOVERED THAT NISSAN HAS ALMOST 100 REGISTERED COMPLAINTS FOR THESE COILS SNAPPING. YOU CAN ADD ME TO THE LIST.

DRIVER SIDE FRONT COIL SPRING BROKE WHILE DRIVING, RUBBING FRONT TIRE, TOWED TO NISSAN DEALER 07-31-15 - TAMAROFF NISSAN - SOUTHFIELD, MI. CAR HAS ONLY SLIGHTLY MORE THAN 25,000 MILES, ASKED NISSAN DEALERSHIP IF THIS WAS A RECALL OR AN ISSUE PART, THEY SAID NO, AND THAT THIS REPAIR WAS NOT COVERED, I ASKED THAT IT BE REFERRED TO NISSAN CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE, WHICH THEY DID. I DID NOT HEAR BACK FROM NISSAN CORP. CUSTOMER SERVICE UNTIL 08-14-15 NOTING THE COIL SPRING REPLACEMENT WAS NOT COVERED, AND THAT MY REQUEST WAS DENIED. I AGAIN ASKED THAT IT BE ESCALATED TO THE NEXT SUPERVISOR LEVEL FOR REVIEW. AS OF THIS DATE MY CAR IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP.

SUSPENSION
I WAS ROUTINELY PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY, AND I HEARD A SINGLE PING/KNOCK SOUND, IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY A GRINDING NOISE, COMING FROM THE FRONT RIGHT OF THE CAR. THE CAR INSTANTLY BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. UPON IMMEDIATE INSPECTION, I COULD SEE THAT THE LOWER PART OF THE COIL SPRING HAD BROKEN CLEANLY. THE REMAINING PORTION OF THE SPRING HAD COME AWAY FROM THE METAL RESTRAINING PLATE, AND WAS EXTENDING AGAINST THE INSIDE TOP PART OF THE TIRE. THE METAL DID NOT PUNCTURE THE TIRE, BUT IT IS SIGNIFICANTLY INDENTING THE RUBBER. THE CAR IS NOT DRIVEABLE. FURTHERMORE, THE LEFT COIL SPRING, IN THE SAME RELATIVE PLACE, SHOWS SIGNIFICANT CORROSION, AND DOES NOT LOOK SAFE FOR DRIVING. COIL SPRINGS ARE EXPECTED TO LAST THE LIFETIME OF A CAR-- ESPECIALLY ONE WELL CARED FOR AND DRIVEN IN ALMOST IDEAL CONDITIONS, LIKE MINE. I HAVE NEVER HAD A COIL SPRING BREAK ON ME. THIS IS NO COINCIDENCE, AS THE SECOND ONE APPEARS TO BE FAULTY AS WELL. I CAN ONLY FEEL GRATEFUL THAT THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY ON THE HIGHWAY. HAS THIS OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY, THE TIRE WOULD HAVE SURELY BLOWN OUT, AND I WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. NISSAN NEEDS TO STEP UP AND RECALL THESE SPRINGS BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE! I WILL NEED TO HAVE MY SUSPENSION REPAIRED, AS WELL AS POSSIBLY MY FRONT RIGHT TIRE. I WHOLLY EXPECT NISSAN TO PICK UP THE TAB FOR THIS.

AFTER ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AT LOUGHEAD NISSAN WE WERE INFORMED THAT BOTH FRONT SUSPENSION SPRINGS WERE BROKEN. THE SERVICE MANAGER CALLED IT "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR". THE REPLACEMENT PRICE FOR A "KIT" OF STRUTS AND SPRINGS FOR BOTH FRONT SIDES IS ESTIMATED AT $1030. DIAGNOSIS WAS CONFIRMED BY PEP BOYS MECHANIC WHO SAID IT WAS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT. FOR SAFETY REASONS WORK IS BEING COMPLETED AT DEALER TODAY. VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND WE HAVE NEVER HIT A BUMP OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS SUSPENSION FAILURE.

I WAS TURNING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE HOME, HEARING NOISE WHENEVER I TURNED THE WHEEL. MY HUSBAND TOOK A LOOK AT THE CAR WHEN I GOT HOME. WE DISCOVERED THAT THE STRUT COIL HAD BROKEN AND WAS RUBBING THE TIRE. I WAS LUCKY THAT IT DIDN'T BLOW MY TIRE.

MY CAR BEGAN TO SHIMMY WHEN STOPPING AND I BROUGHT IT TO A MECHANIC WHO SAID THE COIL SPRING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WAS BROKEN AND THAT THEY WOULD BE BEST REPLACED IN PAIRS AS THE OTHER SIDE WOULD NOT BE LONG BEFORE IT ALSO BROKE CAUSING A POSSIBLE TRAGIC ACCIDENT. HE ADVISED ME NOT TO GO FAR WITH THE CAR BEFORE REPAIRING THEM AS A FATAL ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR. AT THE BARE MINIMUM, THE COIL SPRING WOULD GO THROUGH MY NEW TIRE AND CAUSE EVEN MORE EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE CAR. MY SON OWNS A VERSA AS DOES MY FORMER HUSBAND AND THEY BOTH HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THEIR COIL SPRINGS. I FEEL THERE MUST BE SOME TYPE OF DEFECT IN THIS PRODUCT. IT SEEMS FAR TOO COINCIDENTAL. THERE HAVE BEEN 93 OTHER REPORTS AS WELL. NISSAN SHOULD ISSUUE A RECALL IMMEDIATELY.
