Replacing the exhaust the rear springs were broken to the point the insulators fell out. The springs on both the rear of the vehicle were breaking. There wasn't any significant rust on the springs there was a recall on the front which was done. The insulators missing makes a metal to metal contact which would make it wear out faster and more prone to rust. Why are the springs breaking?

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.

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.

I live in the Kansas City metro, on the Kansas side, less than 10 minutes from the border to Missouri. There is a current recall that applies to the front coil springs of Nissan Versas (NHTSA recall 17V-637) because the springs have insufficient corrosion coating. This current recall applies to Missouri but not Kansas. I drive my car in Missouri all the time because of my proximity to Missouri and my husband is employed in Missouri. My front, right coil spring broke on March 17, 2018. The coil spring broke when backing out of my parking spot at my apartment in a lot that is relatively new and flat, meaning no pot holes. A loud bang was heard and when moving there was a loud creaking sound. After pulling out about 3 feet I pulled back in and turned the car off. I found a round metal object on the ground near the front with rust on it. It was flat on one end and broken on the other. After inspecting the front passenger side's wheel well I discovered that the remaining part of the coil spring had slipped off the strut lip and part of the coil was pressing hard against the tire. The appearance of the coil spring still on the car matched the one I had found. A mechanic and tow truck operator verified it was in fact the coil spring that had broken. The attached images are of the front passenger side wheel well with coil spring visible and of the coil spring part that broke off.

I have 2 problems. The first is Nissan claims to not support recalls on my vehicle because it has a salvage title. The second is that I was not informed of a recall on this vehicle for over 2 years. In 2015 I had a front suspension coil spring fracture. I thought this was unusual and went to the local dealer and bought an oem replacement coil and replaced the broken spring myself. In 2017 both other coil spring failed as well as the replacement I had bought from the dealer in 2015. At this point I researched the problem on the internet and discovered the recall on this part. I replaced the failed springs with aftermarket parts to get the car back on the road. I then submitted paperwork to Nissan for reimbursement of the replacement parts. I was just informed by Nissan that they will reimburse me for the cost because I have a salvage title. I am not aware that a salvage title removes the manufacturer from the responsibility for replacement parts. My other concern is that I was not informed about the recall in a timely manner. I did not find out about this recall until the springs broke. I still have the last two springs that broke in my garage. I also have pictures showing that the last spring nearly punctured one of the wheels when it broke. I have correspondence from alece at Nissan that I can provide documenting that Nissan will not support recalls on this vehicle because it has a salvage title. I can provide these emails if they are desired.
