I found a piece of a broken coil spring in my driveway (where multiple cars are parked) in NJ. A quick visual inspection of all the vehicles typically parked near that area did not show any sitting uneven or any obvious evidence of any with problems. A few weeks later, after driving approx 1000 miles on my nissan, I noticed that the front suspension seemed shorter and quicker to bottom-out. This was obvious when rolling over speed humps. Another, more in-depth inspection of the front springs revealed an unseated spring on the left front. The spring appears to have slipped off or through the bottom cup and is not centered on the strut. After looking the vehicle up on NHTSA site this appears to be related to Manufacturer Recall NumberPM565. The NJ vehicle is currently in NC. I plan to take it to a Nissan dealer to have the recall work performed.

Takata recall. We have a Nissan Versa 2008 and we received 2 letters about the takata recall. We just moved to New Jersey about 3 months ago. My boyfriend daniil went to the Nissan dealership in Edison and they refused him a rental car because he is not 21 years old. We are 20. I thought that's not possible, it's a big safety issue, they can't just refuse it because we're not 21. What does age have to do with our safety" the following morning, me and my boyfriend drove to the route 33 Nissan in hamilton, NJ. A lady named mckayla did the paperwork for us, everything was set and then she said "oh wait you're not 21 yet, I can't loan you a car." She said to call the service assist line to further assist us. So we called the line, and turns out the guy that we were supposed to talk to doesn't work on the weekends. So if the airbags would've went off during the weekend and we died, then what? I called mckayla on Monday and she told us if we could find a company that would rent us the car, Nissan would pay for it. So I called hertz in New York since their legal age to rent a car is 18, and they agreed to rent us a car but Nissan refused to pay for it since it was out of state. If Nissan screwed up with these recalls, they need to take responsibility for their actions and pay the necessary for the inconvenience. We went back to the route 33 Nissan dealership and went to the supervisor's office to speak to him. He said there's nothing he can do for us because we're not 21. Last time I checked, you didn't have to be 21 to own a Nissan. Last time I checked, there was nowhere in the paperwork when buying a Nissan that states: "in the case of a recall, if you're not 21 and over you will be leased a loaner car till we fix your car" so then why is this such an issue" I'm so scared that on our way to work or on our way home the air bags will go off and we will die.

I have had 3 recalls on my Nissan since 2015. It has been 2 years and all 3 are still unresolved. When contacting Nissan, the response is - to await the invitation to the dealership. Driving this vehicle is unsafe and yet I have to risk my well-being every day to get around.

2008 Nissan Versa. Consumer writes in regards to front coil spring and struts damages due to corrosion. Consumer seeks reimbursement for front coil springs recall repairs. The consumer stated the coil springs were on recall, but the parts were unavailable. Both of the front coil springs and struts broke due to corrosion. The consumer had the vehicle repaired at a local repair shop. Since the parts used to repair the vehicle were not replaced with Nissan parts, the recall could not be closed. Therefore, the consumer could not be reimbursed. The manufacturer suggested having the parts replaced with Nissan parts. Doing this, the consumer would have to incur the expenses of the struts being replaced since, they need to be replaced in order to replace the springs. Updated 08/23/2017

The lower front control arm on the driver's side which holds the front wheel on the frame broke in the middle of the part letting the front wheel loose from the car. A small portion of metal that did not break held the tire on. The vehicle was stopped before an accident happened. The person driving was on a main road in a major U.S., city. The front tire had rubbed against the front plastic bumper and actually pealed some of it off. The lower control arm has been replaced on this vehicle and is in my possession. The replacement was done by a mechanic. The mechanic claims it is a Nissan part.

Regarding recall: NHTSA 15V-573 for front coil springs. I received notice that my vehicle is covered under this recall for front coil springs. However, prior to the recall going into effect, I had already had my coil springs replaced on this vehicle due to them cracking. I have contacted Nissan for reimbursement of the cost of the work I already paid for to replace the springs. Total cost to me was $635.68 from my local mechanic, bruces automotive in East Aurora, NY. I submitted a statement from bruces that indicates the coil springs were replaced and paid for by me (attached). I submitted this information to Nissan, they informed me that I need to take my vehicle to a Nissan dealer to have them replace the coil springs. When I told them that this does not make any sense because the original factor springs have already been replaced and that Nissan is no longer responsible for the springs in my Versa, they told me I needed to do it anyway. To me, this is a waste of my time. I simply want them to reimburse me the $635 I already spent prior to the recall to have the springs replaced. If the springs in my car brake again, this is my responsibility, not Nissan. I only want to get reimbursed the money I already spent.

On 6/10/16 I was driving on the highway via my 2008 Nissan Versa when a loud noise occurred, unable to drive, both front tires blew out. Car was shaking a bit uncontrollable. I contacted aaa, technician said both front tires blew out due to failure of spring coils and I could have been killed or killed someone due to this issue on the highway. Dealer replaced front spring coils due to recall, but said I needed to buy two new tires and to put into Nissan a reimbursement claim for the tires. I filed the claim with Nissan on 6/17/16, to date no response and it is 7/5/16 - no phone calls, no response from Nissan. My two tires were damaged and destroyed by Nissan's failure/defective equipment. I had to pay approx $300 for two new tires. I have contacted my credit card company to dispute the transaction as I acted in good faith - Nissan does not act in good faith not as of 7/5/16. This is a major safety hazard - I could have been killed or caused an accident due to Nissan's failure - more should be done if tires are punctured like that - I did not create or cause this, Nissan did - be responsible Nissan!!

Exhaust system has been diagnosed with 2 separate failures requiring a weld job in order to repair. I have completed one at the cost of $200 and the second weld estimate is priced at $200. Both instances came on suddenly and without other warning. Exhaust smell occurs when car first starts and disapates after driving several miles. Each occurred at separate times. Both front ball joints have been noted by my mechanic as being looser and indicates needing replacement in the near future in order to avoid potentially fatal collision or significant additional damage to transmission, steering, etc., systems.
