A RECALL WAS DONE ON THE FRONT SPRING COILS. I TOOK MY CAR IN TO HAVE RECALL COMPLETED ONLY TO FIND OUT MY BACK SPRING COILS ARE ALSO DAMAGED. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE FRONT CAN BE RECALLED AND THE BACK COILS ARE ALSO DEFECTED THE REASONING WHY THEY ARE NOT UNDER A RECALL.
TAKATA AIRBAG? I DON'T KNOW BECAUSE NOTHING HAS HAPPENED TO DATE BUT I HAVE A FLASHING AIRBAG LIGHT I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX. I'VE BEEN TOLD VARIOUS PRICES FOR INITIAL SCANS AND DIAGNOSIS, BUT WITH ALL THE TAKATA ISSUES AND THIS BEING AN IMPORTED VEHICLE MANUFACTURED BY NISSAN I BELIEVE SOMEONE SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE I'M SUBJECTED TO THE TIME AND EXPENSE. I'VE BEEN TOLD WITH A FLASHING AIRBAG LIGHT THE SYSTEM IS INACTIVE AND LESS SAFE. PLEASE REVIEW AND ADVISE
I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT AND WENT TO CONTINENTAL NISSAN 5750 S LA GRANGE RD COUNTRYSIDE IL ON JULY 11, 2016. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT IF THEY BELIEVE CORRODED PARTS NEED TO BE REPLACED, I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR COST. I SPOKE TO [XXX] MY CASE #[XXX], SHE BEING A REPRESENTATIVE OF NISSAN ASSURED ME AS THE LETTER STATES: "THIS REPAIR IS FREE OF CHARGE FOR PARTS AND LABOR." THE DISCREPANCY FORCED ME TO LEAVE THE DEALERSHIP WITHOUT REPAID. TWO ADDITIONAL CALLS WERE PLACED TO [XXX] ON 7/11/2016 ASKING FOR COORDINATION WITH THE DEALERSHIP IN ORDER TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. I HAD TO WAIT THREE WEEKS IN ORDER TO GET THE VEHICLE INTO ANY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THE CAR IS DISABLED WITH A BROKEN COIL SPRING AND HAS BEEN TOWED WITHOUT REPAIR. A SEVEN YEAR OLD VEHICLE EXPOSED TO ILLINOIS WINTERS SHOULD HAVE CORRODED PARTS. I REVIEWED THE PART COST THROUGH NISSAN WITH MY VIN AND THE COIL SPRING COST IS ROUGHLY $5.63 OR $6.00. THE ADDITIONAL PARTS WITHIN THE FRONT SUSPENSION VARY FROM $11.51 THROUGH $354.20. THE DEALERSHIP MENTIONED A HALF DAY OF LABOR IN ADDITION TO COST OF THE SUSPENSION PARTS. THE RECALL LETTER SAYS APPROXIMATELY 3 HOURS FOR REPAIR AT NO COST. WHY WOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR A RECALL? THE FACT THAT THE RECALL CAME 7 YEARS AFTER THE 2009 MANUFACTURED CAR IS VERY CONCERNING. I ASK THAT THE CAR BE TOWED AT NISSAN'S COST AND REPAIRED AT NISSAN'S COST IMMEDIATELY! I IMAGINE THAT MANY OTHER CONSUMERS HAVE RUN INTO THIS ISSUE AND WONDER IF A CLASS ACTION SUIT IS NECESSARY TO PRO
VEHICLE FAILED VIRGINIA SATE INSPECTION CITING BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT FRONT BALL JOINTS NEEDING REPLACED. THIS VEHICLE HAS JUST OVER 50,000 MILES AND IT SEEMS ODD THAT BOTH BALL JOINTS HAVE FAILED AT SUCH A LOW MILEAGE. WITH NISSANS RECALL OF OTHER PARTS OF THE FRONT END THIS SEEMS LIKE ANOTHER PART FAILURE.

CONTINUES KNOCKING NOISE COMES OUT OF THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN DRIVEN AT 40-50 MILES ALSO ON THE UNEVEN ROUGH ROADS. ALSO THE STERING WHEEL SHAKES WHEN APPLYING THE BREAKES.
EVERY TIME I FILLED UP MY GAS TANK, THE CABIN FILLED UP WITH FUMES. I WENT TO MY MECHANIC AND FOUND THE FUEL MODULATOR WAS LEAKING AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE PLUG WAS BURNT. THEY REPLACED AND REPAIRED THE ITEMS. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THIS REPLACEMENT MIGHT FALL UNDER A RECALL. BEFORE MY CAR WAS FIXED, I WAS GETTING HEADACHES FROM THE FUMES.
LOUD CLUNKING/POPPING NOISE COMING FROM FRONT OF CAR WHILE DRIVING.
NISSAN CURRENTLY HAS A CAMPAIGN OPEN TO REPLACE FRONT COIL SPRINGS IN NORTHERN STATES. MY REAR COIL SPRING IS ALSO CRACKED/BROKEN AND NISSAN IS REFUSING TO REPLACE IT.
PREMATURE MUFFLER CORROSION, INSUFFICIENT ANTI-CORROSION COATING: MUFFLER (CENTER & REAR) RUSTED OFF AND DRAGGED ON THE GROUND, EMITTING LOUD NOISE AND CREATING AIR SAFETY HAZARD. CAR HAD < 40,000 MILES AND < 4 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME.
WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION UPON TURNING EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT POPPING NOISE COMING FROM STEERING COLUMN . ALSO CAUSING FRONT END TO CREAK . GERALD NISSAN INSPECTED AND SAID IT NEEDS STEERING SHAFT U JOINT REPLACED . BUT THEY SAY IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE.
TRANSMISSION FAILED RESULTING IN CAR LOSING POWER AND MAKING NOISES WHEN ACCELERATING. NISSAN IS NOT HONORING THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR WHICH MY CAR IS ELIGIBLE AND WON'T RESPOND TO MY MANY CALLS AT ALL. IT HAS BEEN 7 WEEKS. THEY ARE STONEWALLING ME. THEY WON'T EVEN TELL ME THE NAME OR EXTENSION OF THE "SPECIALIST" HANDLING MY CASE.
MY NISSAN VERSA WAS RECALLED LAST YEAR FOR FAULTY COIL SPRINGS. THE LETTER SAID THAT PARTS WILL BE READY IN JANUARY 2016. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY DEALER TO HAVE THE PARTS ORDERED AND REPLACED. IT IS ALMOST APRIL 2016 AND THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. I CALL MY DEALER ONCE A MONTH, THEY HAVE NOW CHOSEN TO SCREEN THEIR PHONE CALLS AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY SERVICE CALLS ABOUT THE RECALL. I THINK THAT NISSAN IS NOT PREPARED TO HANDLE THIS RECALL ON THE VERSA.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT FLICKERED WHILE THE SEAT WAS OCCUPIED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SPIRAL CABLE AND THE AIR BAG MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.
ON THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 3, 2016, MY TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING AS I WAS DRIVING UP A HILL. I WAS NOT ABLE TO DRIVE FORWARD. ONLY REVERSE. SO I HAD TO REVERSE MY CAR OFF THE STREET AGAINST ONCOMING AND PARK ON THE SIDE.
2 REAR SPRINGS BROKE WHILE DRIVING IN CITY (ALREADY HAD FRONT SPRINGS REPLACED DUE TO RECALL)
DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY CAR TENDS TO LOSE POWER AND SPUTTER AND IN SOME CASES IT WILL STALL. WHEN TRYING TO RESTART IT, IT WILL NOT START. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS. ALSO, IF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND THEN SHUTTING THE ENGINE OFF YOU CAN NOT RESTART IT WITHOUT WAITING AT LEAST 30 MINUTES. MY 16 YEAR OLD HAS BEEN DRIVING THIS CAR AND THE FIRST INSTANCE IT HAPPENED WAS WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING IT. SHE LOST ALL POWER AND WAS NOT EVEN ABLE TO USE HER BRAKES. SHE CAME VERY CLOSE TO HITTING A WALL BUT WAS ABLE TO STEER IT AWAY BUT STEERING WAS VERY DIFFICULT AS WELL. WE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP THINKING IT WASN'T GETTING ENOUGH GAS BUT THIS STILL HASN'T FIXED THE ISSUE. WE ARE TOLD BY MECHANICS THAT THE PROBLEM CAN'T BE DUPLICATED THEREFORE IT CAN'T BE FIXED. I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT NISSAN HAS NOT RECALLED THIS CAR DUE TO MANY COMPLAINTS WITH THIS ISSUE. I GUESS SOMEONE HAS TO LOSE THEIR LIFE BEFORE THEY WILL FIX IT. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE VERSA AND NISSAN TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. PLEASE LOOK INTO IT AND FIX IT BEFORE SOMEONE DIES.
WHILE DRIVING DOWN A 30MPH CHICAGO STREET MY CAR ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF. I HAD ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO TURN INTO A PARKING LOT AND ACTUALLY REACH A SPACE BUT THAT SPACE WAS TOW ZONE SO I HAD TO SIT THERE WITH MY CAR FOR 3 HOURS WHILE I WAITED FOR A TOW TRUCK BECAUSE IT WAS ACTUALLY RUSH HOUR. AFTER TAKING IT TO AAA CAR BODY SHOP, THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE ENGINE WAS JUST DEAD. AND AFTER THEY TOOK IT APART THEY COULD ONLY SPECULATE BUT WITH SOME CONFIDENCE FROM SEEING SOMETHING SIMILAR IN THE PAST THAT SOME SORT OF CHAIN INSIDE THE ENGINE SNAPPED AND STRUCK THE ENGINE AND CAUSED THE CYLINDERS TO COME TO A HALT. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT HE SAW SOMETHING SIMILAR IN A MID 2000'S SATURN. IN WHICH CASE IT ENDED UP BEING A RECALL FOR THAT LINE OF CAR. HE SAID IF YOU KEEP THE RECEIPT AND SOMEDAY IT ENDS UP BEING A RECALL, I COULD POSSIBLY GET A REFUND. ANYWAYS, THE BIGGER DEAL IS THAT THIS IS A HIGHLY HAZARDOUS BREAKDOWN. IM GLAD I WAS NOT ON A HIGHWAY WAITING 3 HOURS FOR A TOW. BUT IM ALSO GLAD I COULD COAST ON THE MOMENTUM I HAD. AFTER THE INITIAL BREAKDOWN THAT HAD A POPPING SOUND, MY CAR FELT HEAVY BECAUSE I LOST POWER STEERING AS WELL SO THE TURN INTO THE FORTUNATE PARKING SPACE WAS ACTUALLY DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS NOT JUST TO ME BUT ALSO TO PEDESTRIANS. BECAUSE DURING THAT TIME IF I HAD TO SWERVE OUT OF THE WAY, I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO. ALSO THE BREAKS WERE HEAVY.. I HAD TO REALLY PRESS DOWN ON THEM TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. THATS ABOUT ALL I CAN SAY FROM MY ME
I HAVE NISSAN VERSA SINCE 2009.I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW FROM NISSAN OF RENO. SINCE LAST YEAR FRON DRIVER SIDE BROKEN COIL SPRING.NOW IT HAPPEND AGAIN ON PASSANGER SIDE SPRING BROKE. I CALL DELER TO FIND OUT WHY DID IT BROKE BOTH OF SPRING WITH IN ONE YEAR. THEY HAVE NO ANSWER
NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
