2008 Nissan Versa complaints

THE FRONT COIL SPRING SUDDENLY BROKE.

NOT SURE OF EXACT TIMING (APPROX APRIL 2015) WHEN I BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR A REGULAR SERVICE APPOINTMENT, I WAS TOLD THAT WHEN THEY PUT THE CAR ON THE LIFT, ONE COIL SPRING FELL OFF IN TWO PIECES - I WAS SO FORTUNATE THAT THIS HAPPENED AT THE DEALERSHIP AND NOT ON THE ROAD! I WAS TOLD THAT IF IT HAD HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING, IT COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS. I REPLACED BOTH SPRINGS AT THAT TIME.

THANKFULLY I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT YET. HOWEVER I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT BOTH FRONT COIL SPRINGS ARE MISSING A CHUNK FROM THE SPRING. THIS WAS DISCOVERED WHEN I HAD MY CAR IN THE SHOP FOR ANOTHER ISSUE ON 6.12.15. I WAS INFORMED AT THIS TIME THAT WITH THE CHUNKS MISSING THIS COULD CAUSE MAJOR ISSUES IF EITHER OF THEM POP OUT OF THEIR BASE. I HAD MY CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE (AT A NEIGHBOR'S WHO IS A MECHANIC) YESTERDAY, 9.14.15. I INFORMED HIM OF WHAT HIS REFERRAL GUY SAID TO ME BACK IN JUNE, AND AFTER LOOKING AT MY CAR HE SHOWED ME EXACTLY WHAT THE GUY WAS TALKING ABOUT. HE TOLD ME THIS WAS CONCERNING, SEEING AS MY CAR ONLY HAS 77,000 MILES ON IT. MY REAR SUSPENSION IS ACTING UP TOO, WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT BE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS. I WENT TO THIS SITE & NOTICED IRONICALLY THAT THE FRONT COIL SPRING ISSUES ARE UNDER INVESTIGATION AT THIS POINT. I AM TRYING TO MAKE A COMPLAINT CONSIDERING I HAVE ONE OF THESE CARS, WHICH IN MY MIND IS NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE. I FEAR, AS OTHERS HAVE HAD HAPPEN ON HERE, THAT AN ACCIDENT MAY OCCUR, WITH INJURIES TO MYSELF, ANYONE ELSE IN THE CAR WITH ME, OR OTHER PASSENGERS ON THE ROAD. I AM TRYING TO BE PROACTIVE ON THIS, & AM HOPING SOMETHING WILL BE DONE TO PREVENT ANY TYPE OF ACCIDENT TO OCCUR AGAIN. NISSAN SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS & FIX THESE IMMEDIATELY AT THEIR COST. THEY SHOULD'VE NEVER PUT FAULTY PARTS ON THEIR CARS TO BEGIN WITH. THESE ARE PEOPLE'S LIVES POSSIBLY AT RISK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND FAILED TO RESPOND WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

REPAIR TECH FOUND ON INSPECTION THAT RIGHT FRONT SPRING COIL WAS BROKEN. DISCOVERED THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH 2008-2010 NISSAN VERSA MODEL AND WAS UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR RECALL DUE TO OTHER INCIDENTS WHERE DAMAGE TO OTHER PARTS OF VEHICLE HAVE OCCURRED.

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE COIL SPRING FRACTURED AND PUNCTURED THE TIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000.

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.

FRONT COIL SPRING FELL OUT FROM UNDER THE CAR AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. IF I WAS GOING ANY FASTER IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS IF IT PUNCTURED A WHEEL.

WHEN GOING 75 MILES AN HOUR THE RIGHT SIDE FRONT COIL SPRING BROKE WITH A VERY LOUD NOISE PULLED OVER TO INVESTIGATE FOUND NOTHING LOOKING AT THE TIRE. THIS HAPPENED JUST ENTERING ARIZONA SO SINCE WE COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING WE CONTINUED ON TO PHEONIX TO OUR DESTINATION. WE THEN CONTACTED HTTP://WWW.HONEST1GLENDALEAZ.COM/ AND HAD THEM INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE WHEN GOING OVER ANY BUMP AFTER THAT WE COULD HEAR SOMETHING LOOSE. ONCE THEY LOOKED AT IT THEY QUICKLY FOUND THE RIGHT FRONT COIL SPRING BROKE AND THE STRUT BENT. THEY SAID THE COIL BROKE AT THE BOTTOM LUCKY FOR US NOTHING FLEW OUT TO BLOW THE TIRE WHEN IT HAPPENED. THE CAR HAS VERY LOW MILES AND SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN!

I FILED A REPORT ON CARCOMPLAINTS AND THEY SAID I NEEDED TO FILE ONE HERE AS WELL. WHILE DRIVING IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT, THE GLARE FROM THE DASHBOARD REFLECTS ONTO THE WINDSHIELD AND IT OBSTRUCTS VISIBILITY. I'VE HAD THE WINDSHIELD REPLACED (FACTORY GLASS WAS CHIPPED AND I GOT A NEW ONE), AND THE GLARE IS STILL INTENSE. NO MATTER HOW DUSTY I LET THE DASHBOARD GET, THE REFLECTION IS ALWAYS THERE IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT (USUALLY DRIVING EAST OR WEST). IT'S ANNOYING, EVEN THOUGH I DEAL WITH IT BECAUSE I LOVE MY CAR. IS THERE ANYTHING NISSAN CAN DO?!?!??!?!?!?!? I REALLY DON'T WANT TO CRASH BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE THROUGH THE REFLECTION AS WELL AS ONE SHOULD. *TR

I WAS MERGING FROM THE LH TO THE RH LANE ON AN INTERSECTION WHEN MY CAR WAS HIT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BY AN ON-COMING PICK-UP TRUCK.

I WAS THE ONLY PASSENGER IN MY VEHICLE, WAS WEARING MY SEAT BELT. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. MY HEAD INJURY WAS TREATED ON-SITE BY AN EMS UNIT AND I WAS TRANSFERRED TO A LOCAL HOSPITAL WHERE I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A CONCUSSION. ON 8/13/2014 MY CAR WAS TRANSFERRED TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER (WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE) FOR INSPECTION BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY. AT THE DEALERSHIP THE RADIO ISSUE WAS COMMUNICATED BY MY HUSBAND TO TO THE DEALERSHIP COLLISION MANAGER, A DEALERSHIP SALESMAN AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY ADJUSTOR. THE ADJUSTOR AND MY HUSBAND TOOK PHOTOS OF THE EXPELLED RADIO THAT CLEARLY DEMONSTRATED BROKEN PLASTIC ASSEMBLY/LATCH TABS. THE RADIO AND PHOTO WAS SHOWN TO THE NISSAN SALESMAN. THE COMMENT FROM THE DEALERSHIP COLLISION MANAGER TO MY HUSBAND WAS "HE SEES THIS ALL THE TIME WITH NISSANS" AS THE RADIO IS NOT BOLTED AND CAN BECOME DISENGAGED WHEN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IS COMPRESSED. MY HUSBAND COMMUNICATED THIS INCIDENT TO NISSAN NORTH AMERICA CONSUMER AFFAIRS (FILE NUMBER 15337234). ON AUGUST 19, 2014 THEY RESPONDED "BASED ON THE AVAILABLE INFORMATION AND THE MILEAGE OF THE SUBJECT VEHICLE, NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. FINDS THAT AN INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE IS NOT NECESSARY." I

IN SEPTEMBER 2013, I BEGAN HEARING A RATTLING/SQUEAKY SOUND IN THE VICINITY OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL WELL. THE RATTLING SOUND IS SIMILAR TO METAL BOLTS ROLLING AROUND IN A METAL PAN.

THE OWNER NICK THEROUX INFORMED ME THAT MY RIGHT SHOCK NEEDED TO BE CHANGED BECAUSE IT "GONE". THE SERVICE INSPECTION ALSO DETERMINED A POSSIBLE COIL PROBLEM.
