SUSPENSION
WHILE PULLING OUT OF MY GARAGE AND HAVING GONE NO MORE THAN 3 FEET I HEARD A VERY LOUD SNAP AND A GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL. HAVING READ ABOUT THE SPRING ISSUE I KNEW WHAT IT WAS AND IMMEDIATELY BACKED UP INTO THE GARAGE. HAD THIS HAPPENED 15 MINUTES LATER I WOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 55 MPH AND PROBABLY ROLLED THE CAR. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR NISSAN NOT ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE. THEY KNOW OF THE PROBLEM AND I SEE THAT THE 2010 VERSAS ALSO HAVE THE PROBLEM. MY DEALER IS WELL AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND STOCKS THE SPRINGS. I REPLACED BOTH SPRINGS AT THE SAME TIME TO SAVE FURTHER GRIEF. THERE IS ALSO NO EXCUSE FOR THE NHTSA AND DOT FOR NOT FORCING A RECALL ON THE SPRINGS. I GUESS THEY WISH TO KILL A FEW PEOPLE FIRST.

SUSPENSION, WHEELS
AFTER SMELLING RUBBER BURNING AND THE CAR NOT HANDLING CORRECTLY. I CHECKED THE SUSPENSION TO FIND BOTH COIL SPRINGS (PASSENGER AND DRIVERS SIDE) WERE BROKEN. THE DRIVERS SIDE BROKEN COIL WAS APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE INSIDE WALL OF THE TIRE WEARING A LARGE GROOVE IN THE ENTIRE DIAMETER OF THE TIRE. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY AND MUST BE ADDRESSED BY NISSAN AND OR THE SUPPLIER OF THE SPRINGS. THE REPAIR WAS EXPENSIVE (COIL, STRUTS AND A TIRE). *TR

STRUCTURE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
I STARTED MY CAR AND I HEARD A RATTLING SOUND. AS I WENT TO DRIVE THE SOUND GOT LOUDER AS I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL. I WENT TO NISSAN RIGHT AWAY AND THEY SAID IT WAS MY "RUSTED" MUFFLER. IT'S FROM THE SALT AND IT WILL BE $700 BUCKS. MY CAR IS A 2012, THERE IS NO WAY POSSIBLE FOR SALT RUST IN 3 YEARS. I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!! I AM TRYING TO UNDERSTAND SINCE I LIVE IN FLORIDA. I'D UNDERSTAND BETTER IF I STILL LIVED UP NORTH AND DEALT WITH SALT FROM THE ICE TRUCKS. I DON'T LIVE CLOSE ENOUGH TO TO A BEACH FOR SALT RUST!!! *TR

POWER TRAIN, STEERING
MY CAR WILL NOT MOVE WHEN THE GAS IS PRESSED, IT STUTTERS AND VIBRATES THEN JERKS. THE TRANSMISSION CATCHES THEN RPM HIT 7500 VERY UNSAFE. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I STOP AND GO. TOOK IT TO NISSAN THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM THEREFORE COULD NOT FIX IT. THIS IS ( BS ) CAUSE IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. ALSO WHEN I TURN MY STEERING WHEEL I FEEL SOMETHING MOVING AND HEAR POPPING NOISE ON THE DRIVER SIDE FLOOR BOARD. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2014 NISSAN VERSA FROM MAITA NISSAN IN SACRAMENTO (NOW CALLED SACRAMENTO NISSAN) ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2014 AND I'M JUST NOT SATISFIED. THE VIN NUMBER IS [XXX] I PURCHASED A 2014 NISSAN VERSA FROM MAITA NISSAN IN SACRAMENTO (NOW CALLED SACRAMENTO NISSAN) AND I'M JUST NOT SATISFIED. THIS CAR DOES NOT AT ALL SOUND LIKE A NEW CAR. I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT WITH 9 MILES ON IT, BUT IMMEDIATELY NOTICED HOW DIFFICULT IT IS FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO SMOOTHLY GET INTO GEAR. IT'S LOUD AND ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE IT'S COMPLETELY BROKEN. WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE I HEAR A LOUD CLUNKING SOUND WHETHER IT'S ON A FLAT SURFACE OR IN THE DRIVEWAY. I'VE DISCUSSED HEARING THIS SOUND BEFORE 4 DIFFERENT TIMES AND ALSO WENT TO THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT 4 TIMES. I'M BEING TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG. I DIDN'T PURCHASE A "BRAND NEW" CAR TO HAVE ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS. I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND ADVISED THEM ABOUT THE ISSUES AND REQUESTED A BUY BACK. AFTER WAITING 3 WEEKS FOR AN ANSWER, THEY ADVISED ME ON 4/9/15 THAT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO ACCOMMODATE MY REQUEST. I FEEL THIS CAR HAS AN UNSAFE TRANSMISSION AND BRAKING SYSTEM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
AFTER BEING READY TO BACK UP I PLACE THE 2014 VERSA IN REVERSE. I TOUCHED THE ACCELERATOR AND STARTED TO BACK UP AND WHEN I TRIED TO MOVE MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR TO THE BRAKE PEDAL MY FOOT WAS CAUGHT ON SOMETHING AND I WAS ACTUALLY ADDED PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR. I BACKED UP AND I TRIED TO SWING THE CAR AWAY FROM THE PARKED RENTAL CARS BEHIND ME. WAS ABLE TO PULL MY FOOT OF THE ACCELERATOR AND PUSHED THE SHIFTER INTO PARK. I HIT THREE CARS WHEN I WAS BACKING UP. WE DAMAGED OUR REAR FACIA AND THE REAR FACIAS OF THE THREE CARS I HIT AND IT ALSO DAMAGED THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR OF LAST CAR I HIT. WHILE EXAMINING THE DAMAGE OF FORM THE ACCIDENT A SUPERVISOR FROM THE RENTAL COMPANY SAID WE SHOULDN'T FEEL SO BAD SINCE ONE OF THEIR DRIVERS HAD DONE SOMETHING SIMILAR BUT ONLY DAMAGED THE CAR THAT HE WAS MOVING. AT FIRST I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED IT AND THEN I SAW THE RECENT NTSB ISSUES FOR THIS. I ALSO CHECK ALL OF MY OTHER CARS. THOSE CARS DO NOT HAVE A GAP BETWEEN THE FLOOR BOARD AND THE SIDE OF THE CONSEL. I HAVE NOT GOT TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THE CONDITION EXISTS ON CURRENT MODELS. THE MODEL YEAR MIGHT NOT BE CORRECT I WAS JUST TRYING TO REMEMBER IS THIS WAS A 14 OR 15. THE VIN I GOT FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY SO IT HAS TO BE WHAT EVER COMES FROM THERE. *TR

HIT 40 THOUSAND MILES 3 DAYS PRIOR TO INCIDENT. PULLED OUT OF GARAGE AND HEARD AN AWFUL GRIND, PULLED ANOTHER 3 FEET AND THE FRONT END FELL TO THE GROUND. UPON INSPECTION BOTH COIL SPRINGS (NOT AT ALL RUSTED) BUSTED. I AM ROUGHLY A 60 YEAR OLD DRIVER THAT HAS HAD THIS VEHICLE FROM THE DAY IT WAS NEW. I WORK 4 MILES FROM HOME AND FORTUNATELY DON'T REALLY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO OVER 35 MILES PER HOUR. CAN NOT IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED DRIVING AT 60 MPH AND HAVING THE FRONT END AT THE SAME TIME COME TO A SCREECHING HALT? REALLY SAD PART ABOUT THIS, DEALERSHIP BOB ROHRMAN ARLINGTON HTS NISSAN WOULD NOT STAND BY THE GOLD EXTENDED BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY I HAD RECENTLY ACQUIRED. *TR

CAR WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY AND UPON GOING IN REVERSE NOTICED A PIECE OF METAL ON DRIVEWAY WHERE THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE WAS WHEN CAR WAS PARKED. IT LOOKED LIKE A PIECE OF THE COIL SUSPENSION AND UPON FURTHER INSPECTION FOUND THAT IT HAD BROKEN OFF FROM FRONT PASSENGER COIL SPRING. THE PIECE WAS NOT CORRODED. I AM HAPPY I WASN'T IN MOTION WHEN THIS BROKE, HIGHLY UNUSUAL FOR SUCH A PART JUST TO BREAK OFF BY ITSELF. WHY ISN'T THE GOVERNMENT LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE? *TR
