SUSPENSION
WHILE DRIVING IN THE FREEWAY AND ON THE STREET SEVERAL OCCASIONS, MY CAR WAS FEELING AS IF IT WAS GOING TO DIE ON ME WITH LOW POWER. I FELT REALLY UNSAFE. ONE DAY, I WAS DRIVING, THE CAR WAS TOO WEAK, I DECIDED TO DRIVE IT DIRECTLY TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN CERRITOS BECAUSE I KNEW THAT WAS IT, I WAS GOING TO DEFINETLY BE STRANDED. I WAS THERE FOR ABOUT 5 HOURS AND FINALLY I WAS TOLD THAT THE COIL NEEDED REPLACEMENT. LESS THAN A YEAR, I WAS TOLD THE COIL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. I RECENTLY SAW ON KELLY BLUE BOOK WEBSITE THAT THE COIL IS A RECALL. I NOTIFIED THE DEALER AND I AM TOLD THAT IT IS NOT A RECALL.

TODAY, 5/1/2019, MY CAR'S REAR SPRING SNAPPED. THANKFULLY I WAS GOING SLOW AND IT DIDN'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. HOWEVER, THE REASON I'M REPORTING THIS IS BECAUSE THE FRONT SPRINGS WERE RECALLED FOR NOT BEING COATED PROPERLY, BUT THE BACK SPRINGS WERE NOT AND IT SEEMS TO BE THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEM. I WAS DRIVING LESS THAN 25 MPH, BRINGING MY FRIENDS KIDS TO THE BUS STOP AND I HEARD A LOUD SPRING POPPING BANG NOISE AND FELT IT UNDER MY CAR.

I HAD PREVIOUSLY MADE NISSAN AWARE OF A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR STALLING AND SHUTTING OFF. THEY ASSURED ME NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, THE CAR CONTINUED TO STALL AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. MONTHS LATER IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND WOULD DECREASE IN SPEED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THE VEHICLE WOULD ALSO NOT MOVE WHEN I WOULD PRESS ON THE GAS AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP; I WOULD HAVE TO TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON. THEN IT STARTED TO FAIL GOING IN REVERSE AND SHUTTING OFF AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. MANY OTHER NISSAN VERSA OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINT OF VEHICLES STALLING. THE VEHICLES ARE A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND I BELIEVE NISSAN KNOWS THIS. I HAVE NOW BEEN TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT WORK. WHY HAS NISSAN NOT DONE SOMETHING ABOUT THE TERRIBLE TRANSMISSIONS?

THE COIL SPRINGS THAT NISSAN INSTALLED IN MY CAR DUE TO THE 2015 RECALL HAVE, NOW, BOTH BROKEN AGAIN. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS REFUSES TO HELP ME WITH THE COST OF REPLACING THESE FAULTY PARTS BECAUSE THEY ARE 'OUT OF WARRANTY!' I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE SINCE 2012 WHEN THE FIRST COIL SPRING BROKE, PUNCTURED MY TIRE, AND ALMOST CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION WHEN THE MOST RECENT BREAK HAPPENED, I WAS TURNING OUT OF MY ALLEY WAY ONTO THE ROAD.

SERVICE BRAKES
I PURCHASED MY 2017 NISSAN VERSA IN JULY OF 2017, WITH 10 MILES ON IT AND THAT WAS THE 10 MILES THAT I PUT ON IT DURING THE TEST DRIVE. MARCH OF 2019 MY BRAKES START TO MAKE THIS HIGH PITCH SOUND WHEN I BREAK. MY CAR DOES NOT HAVE 28,000 MILES ON IT YET. TOOK IT TO MIDAS (BECAUSE BRAKES ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY) AND THEY TOLD ME MY FRONT BREAK PADS WERE THIN, SO HAD THOSE REPLACED. THREE DAYS LATER THE SOUND IS BACK. SO MIDAS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM THEY JUST TOOK ME FOR $200.00. MY CAR IS STILL MAKING THE HIGH PITCH SOUND WHEN BREAKING.

THE PARTICULARS: - BROUGHT MY VEHICLE INTO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP ON 25-JAN-2019 TO HAVE THEM HANDLE WORK RELATED TO THEIR AIR-BAG RECALL - NISSAN ALSO HAD A RECALL PROGRAM RELATIVE TO ITS FRONT-END SUSPENSION SPRINGS, HTTPS://STATIC.NHTSA.GOV/ODI/RCL/2015/RCLRPT-15V573-4667.PDF - ON 21-AUGUST-2018, ONE OF MY SUSPENSION COILS HAD COMPLETELY ERODED AND THE OTHER COIL WAS CLOSE TO FULLY ERODING. THANKFULLY, THE WORN-OUT COILS WERE NOTICED WHILE THE CAR WAS NOT ON ANY ROADWAY. - 8/21/2018 WAS A TUESDAY. MY SUPERVISOR WAS FINE IN ALLOWING ME TO WORK REMOTELY THEN WHILE AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC MADE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS, RELATIVE TO NHTSA 15V-573. - WHEN I HAD SET UP MY APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP IN MID-DEC., 2018 (FOR 1/25/19), I WAS TOLD BY THE NISSAN ON-SITE REPRESENTATIVE THAT REIMBURSEMENT FOR MY UPFRONT EXPENSES TIED TO THE WORK ON THE SUSPENSION-COIL (NHTSA) RECALL SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM. IT WAS JUST HER LOCATION COULD NOT FACILITATE THE REIMBURSEMENT. FISCALS ARE HANDLED BY NISSAN'S CORPORATE OFFICE. - ON 25-JAN-2019, THE NISSAN MECHANICS TOOK PHOTOS OF THE NEW COILS, IN ORDER FOR THE NISSAN CORPORATE OFFICE TO HAVE THAT PROOF. - ALAS, AFTER A SERIES OF EMAILS (WHICH I ALL HAVE) AND PHONE CALLS WITH NISSAN'S CORPORATE OFFICE, THEY CHOSE TO DENY ME ANY REIMBURSEMENT FOR A MANUFACTURER DEFECT, PER NHTSA'S 15V-573. - SO, NISSAN'S DEFECT AND RECALL HAS ME OUT OF > $1,100, THUS COSTING ME FOR THEIR DEFECT! - THEIR INTERNAL CALL-CENTER, BASED IN 0NTARI0, CLOSED CASE ON 2/11/19, WHEN NISSAN'S CORPORATE OFFICE TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT MAKE REIMBURSEMENT BECAUSE THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DID NOT HAVE THE WORD, "COIL" WRITTEN ON THE WORK ORDER / RECEIPT! - NISSAN SENT ME, THE CUSTOMER, INTO MINION MODE WITH THEIR DEFECT. IT IS NOT EXISTING CAR OWNERS' FAULTS NISSAN CANNOT GET NEW OWNERS TO MAKE THEIR PAYMENTS! THIS FLEECING MUST NOT HAPPEN!
