The contact owns a 2009 nissan versa. While driving approximately 25 mph and making a turn, the contact accidentally depressed the accelerator pedal and crashed into a palm tree. The air bags failed to deploy. The driver was able to drive the vehicle. There were no injuries. A police report was not filed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the body damage was repaired. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage and vin were unknown.

Takata recall .. I was informed by the dealer that the part that is required to fix/replace the recalled airbag will only be ready possibly in spring of 2018...i could get into an accident before then and die from this recall of the airbag by the time spring comes around.

Thankfully my wife and i have not been involved in a traffic incident since july 2016 and so have not been subjected to potentially disastrous affects of the airbag discharging metal fragments after excessive exposure to high humidity. For context, we live in new orleans, and i'm relatively sure there are few places more humid than new orleans within the united states. As such, i would classify us as being at a high risk for issues with our airbags. That being said, the passenger side recall took over 18 months to be resolved, all the while, we were told to not have a passenger in the front passenger seat for the duration and were not provided an alternate vehicle to drive. We persevered throughout, but now are being told the driver airbag may also be faulty. I'm not sure what alternate solution they are able to provide at this time but we have certainly not been provided an alternate vehicle to drive in the meantime. We have been told parts are anticipated in late q1 of 2018, but we certainly won't be holding our breath as the prior part etas fell further and further back as we checked in with the dealership.

The contact called nissan of sacramento at (916) 288-8775 (2820 auburn blvd, sacramento, ca 95821) where it was confirmed that the parts were not available for the recall remedy. The manufacturer was notified of the issue and confirmed that the parts were to become available in spring of 2018. The contact was advised to call a local dealer for a rental. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

Called dealership numerous times to get the recalled airbags fixed with no response

I received an nhtsa recall 16v-349 for this car in the mail yesterday, stating the importance and safety of this recall.i made an appointment right away for today, may 3, 2017.i went into the nissan and the service advisor informed me that the parts are not available and they have been waiting on them and told me to check back in june to see if they have it or not.i let him know that i made an appointment the previous day and he said that the departments are separate and the girls just handle phone calls and cashiering duties and they wouldn't know.after getting this letter and being concerned for the safety of my family, then not having the repair performed on my car, i am even more worried about my wife driving this car.i'm not sure who to speak to so we can remedy this situation, but it is immensely frustrating and scary.

Air bags may rupture during deployment resulting in serious injury or death of occupants. Complimentary vehicles offered for affected owners, only available with purchase of dealership insurance. Requiring "long term rental coverage" that noproviders offer or recognize as an optional purchase.

My 2009 nissan versa has a recall for the driver and passenger airbags. I live in an area with no direct access to a nissan dealership, and would need the car to be barged to the nearest one. Nissan has refused to barge the car to the nearest dealership to fix the recall issue. Nissan is refusing to fix the recall issue locally where there is no dealership available or nissan certified mechanics. I have requested the part to be shipped to a local mechanic for it to be fixed, but was denied. I asked to purchase the part and have a local mechanic install it and was told that was not possible. So at this time nissan is denying any possible route to have the airbag recall fixed. All i want is to have the part replaced so i am no longer at risk of death due to projectile metal shrapnel in event of an accident from the airbag canister exploding. Nissan is refusing to allow any avenue to have the issue fixed locally or to move the vehicle to the nearest dealership. Numerous and repeated attempts to get this issue resolved with nissan have lead nowhere. At every new phone call all prior information has been lost and the issue must be re-explained. I am inevitably told they will look more into and promise to get back to me, out of 3 calls to nissan directly and approximately 10+ calls to the company handling the recall, i have yet to receive a single call back. I do not wish to die in a car accident, i am willing to pay for the part and labor to be completed locally. Any assistance in getting nissan to allow my car to be fixed so it is no longer at risk of the airbag canister exploding and injuring myself and passengers would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Takata recall - the car blew up on the side of the road - was driving heard a pop, pulled over to the side of the road seen fire from under car then car blew up

"takata recall" on october 21, 2017 we took our 2009 nissan versa into the nissan dealership in abilene texas after scheduling the recall replacement of both airbags. Upon picking up the vehicle the same day we were told only the passenger side airbag was replaced because they did not have the driver's side airbag.i was told by the service advisor that due to takata going out of business the replacement airbag was not available and could take several months before becoming available. I asked about loaner vehicle at that time and she indicated their dealership was not providing loaners due to low inventory. She gave me nissans 800# and told me they would set-up a rental from enterprise. However, the vehicle was being used by our 20 year old son who is a student at a university in town.she said he couldn't obtain a vehicle until he was 21.a few day later i called nissan consumer affairs and was told to call back after our son turned 21. On 1/2/18 called nca back, they told me a "regional specialist" would call on 1/3. At 4:58 cst on 1/3/18 i received the call back, but it was someone calling on behalf of the reg.spclst.essentially telling us the abilene dealership had no loaners, and that the enterprise the dealership used had no vehicles either.she stated they should be getting the replacement parts "asap" but would give me no timeframe. So i asked her if my son had to risk his life by continuing to drive the vehicle for an unspecified time period until then, she would not respond to that question. As a parent with a son who is about to graduate from college and begin his life independently how am i supposed to accept this outcome. Nissan says they have had no problems with the driver's side airbag, but is a young life worth the risk?apparently it is to nissan.

Takata recall

Apparently there was a recall and i just found out through a story posted on facebook. I want to know when and how i can get this fixed as i do live in a high humidity state (florida) and how will i be compensated up to $500 as the lawsuit agreed. I had no clue about the passenger not the drivers airbags until today.

My vehicle was struck in the rear by a 2005 dodge caravan suv. The driver left a parking space and was using a cell phone. My vehicle had stopped due to a parking car opening the driver's side door unto traffic. My car was slammed in the rear by the 2005 dodge caravan at aprox 20 mph. The airbags in my nissan versa did not deploy and the driver of my car suffered internal injuries. There was no "warning" light that the airbags in my 2009 nissan versa were non-functional.

Takata recall i received notice of a recall for passenger side airbag & was told the part would be available the end of april & i would be notified, to date i have received no nonfiction. I was instructednot to allow passenger's to use that seat, this is causing a major inconvenience for me. Also why is only one air bag recalled, when they were all obviously installed at the same time. Iwould like to know when this will be resolved

Im just increasing worried that something will trigger the airbag deployment due to the humid levels in my city/state (houston, texas) because of the extreme weather we have been having recently. Is there any way to expedite replacement of the airbag for my vehicle?

Takata recallreceived nhtsa recall 17v-449 pertaining to the driver's side airbag. The recall discribes the condition as dangerous to the driver of the vehicle. Contacted mcgavock nissan in lubbock texas due to purchasing the vehicle at this dealer. Service department told me to just drive the car that it was not an issue. When i asked about the complimentary loaner i was told that wasn't going to happen. This is my commuter car for work, so now i have to find another vehicle to drive until the parts are available. I don't understand how this dealership makes this my fault.they seem to take no responsibility on the matter. Is there no avenue for the vehicle owner to take as far as getting the complimentary loaner car mentioned in the recall notice. When i call all the phone numbers given, they just circle back and send me to another number that circles me back again. The same dealership damaged the dash on the passenger side when repairing the passenger side airbag months ago. It's like i bought a new car that i can't use and it's my fault. If nissan isn't going to honor a recall that they chose to send out, why did they send it out in the first place. Nissan is just shifting responsibility for their shortcomings to their own consumers. If i continue to drive the car and it explodes in my face, nissan with say that i had been warned of the problem and shouldn't have driven the car. However, they give you no alternative because they have no intention of providing a complimentary loaner car.

Defective air bags

"takata recall"took in for service/repair and now warning light is on.have received several notices tobring car into a dealer to have the recall fixed regarding the takata airbags.i have had no warning lights or any issues up until bringing the car in for repair for the recall on the takata airbags.upon taking carto stevens creek nissan workorder 170159 july 11, 2018, my car was returned to me after what was noted on the work order as remove and replace air bag inflator, campaign pm685 versa hatchback.my car is a 4 door sedan, not a hatchback. Upon driving off with my car the warning light "airbag" is no flashing and will not go off.this indicates something was not done correctly and now nissan refuses to correct their error unless i pay out of pocket for a dieanostic plus repair fees and labor.i have never had any issues whatsoever with my car until taking it into stevens creek nissan to have a recall for the takata airbags addressed.before i seek any legal action i wanted to reach out to you for some assistance. How safe am i driving my car with this warning light "airbag" ? why would a recall on the takata airbags cause a issue after they were addressed/fixed by nissan stevens creek?am i to be killed on the road or worse before nissan/takata will take responsibility for a recall, fix, error?

Dear sir/madamthis is not really a complaint. I just wanted to let you know that i took care of the recall for airbags two years ago, but it looks like the dealership never registered that they fixed the issue, and thus i keep receiving letters stating that i need to take care of it. I fixed the airbag recall issue at a nissan dealership in montgomery, please stop sending me letters asking me to fix it.

My light came on blinking regarding my air bags. I took the vehicle to the nissan dealership. They advised me that the air bags will not deploy due to a sensor that has failed in the front passenger side seat bottom. I was further advised that they cannot replace just the sensor, it will be $660 to replace the whole seat bottom.i contacted nissan consumer affairs as i believe this is a basic safety issue and that they should assist with the fix. I have not abused the seat, it is not damaged or torn, it has not been in an accident. The only reason i have no working airbags is because the part nissan put in the vehicle has failed. Nissan has failed to assist me and i still do not have working air bags.

Takata recall: called dealership in burns harbor, in on 12-02-2017 regarding need to get fix for safet recall. I was told by salesman that company has not released parts for fix yet. He said note says it will be in spring 2018. I asked about loaner car and he said dealership is out of loaner cars.

Takata recall ~ i traded this car in for a newer one.because of this recall, no fix existing, not knowing when a fix might come in, i had to take a $500 loss.will i get reimbursed for this?thanks

Between notice for the passenger side air bag recall and then the recall for the driver's side air bag, this process has been unreasonably long and required far too much effort on my part to resolve. At every step this has required far too much of my personal attention and time. The only way i've been able to make this recall process work for me is by setting up a google alert about nissan recalls to remind me to call them periodically. Otherwise they would never inform me about any developments with this recall. When i finally called them again they required far too much information from me just to give me information about the recall. It's like they just want to put so many roadblocks on this process to make sure that most people just give up and drive unsafe cars instead of getting them fixed. And that's at each step. I give all this information when i talk to one person then i talk to someone else and have to give them the same information and then the next and so on. I can't believe how much time this process wastes. And finally the dealership is ready to replace the driver side air bag. I should be grateful and happy that the process is finally over but they tell me that they've had the parts since february and ask what my problem is getting this fixed. February. They didn't send me any notice about this and the recall hasn't been updated to show that parts are available, and it's my fault somehow? nissan has to be held to account for this inefficient and wasteful process. I don't imagine most people would stick through this process the way i have and that most people would end up simply not getting their car's fixed. There will only be more and more casualties if nissan isn't forced to make their recall process reasonable and sane.

I received a recall notice saying that my driver side airbag made by takata needs to be replaced and that parts will not be available until the spring of 2018, and that nissan would supply me with a loaner car until the parts were available, when i talked to the dealer ship they said that i'm not eligible for a loaner because i'm only 23 years old, meaning if your under 25 it's ok to drive a car that could take your life.

Takata inflators: i have been notified of a recall. Airbag has not failed

The airbag light in the panel is on since years ago, and the dealer never fixed. It worries me a lot after i got the recall letter.

Takata recall--i received an "interim" notice maybe an entire year ago regarding a recall of my vehicle due to an issue with the passenger air bag. I was told in this notice that i should not allow anyone to ride in the passenger's seat of my car due to a problem with the air bag that may cause its inflator to "rupture or deploy abnormally, resulting in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants causing serious injury or death." i was told to wait for an invitation to repair letter, but it has been a very long time and i've heard nothing further from the dealer about this problem or this interim notice. I have to be able to drive my car. Asking me not to allow passengers to ride in the passenger seat for an entire year while waiting on parts is not feasible. If this issue is as serious as was advised in the letter, i think something else should have been done in the interim. Even just communicating the reason for the delays from the manufacturer would be something. Or explaining why turning off the passenger airbag is or is not a good trade-off for keeping it on, and risking that the airbag will deploy improperly and maim occupants of my car. This issue sounds scary and i haven't been provided with much pertinent information from the dealer about it, let alone any potential options aside from waiting and dreading my passenger airbag deploying.

I have gone to the dealership and asked for a replacement and was told they did not have part. Call in sept. Called yesterday takata dosent have part and they do not have rental . I drive my grandchildren every day and do not feel safe.

The passenger airbag does not work. I was driving & tboned, the airbag did not employ. I have since learned that my airbag is not working and car was recalled, but no one has reached out.

Takata inflators- on 05/19/17 the sevice dept of nissan of lake charles, 1700 seibarth dr,. Lake charles, la 70615 allegedly replaced the passenger side airbag inflator (part # 98561-em39a) as per recall pm65707-11versa airbag ntb17-037 (recall 3), nics275803.if this procedure was not properly executed or logged, please notify this owner forthwith.

On tv (abc 7 chicago) there was a report that stated that there was a problem with the air bag on vehicles that were made before 2010. The air bags suddenly explode without any warning. I just want to make sure that my car is safe when i am driving.

Takata recall.received notice about this recall in march 2017.notice said parts would be in by the end of april 2017.called 6/2/17 and was told parts would be in by end of june.next time told end of july.it is now september and still waiting on parts.i never expected such a serious recall could take so long.thank god i'm not sending a complaint telling you the air bag ruptured and my son is dead because of it.to have to worry every time the car is used that he will be seriously injured or worse, is unacceptable in this day and age.feel at this point, that nissan should provide another vehicle for him to drive instead of having him be at risk of dying from this faulty airbag that can rupture even at high temperatures and humidity.it doesn't even have to be an accident.where is customer service with this company?

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

Takata recalli received a notification in the mail, called the number, but was told it will be until "spring" until i can have my car's driver and passenger airbags fixed. Until then, instructed to drive my car.

Takata recall

Takata recalli reached out to a nearby nissan dealership, nationwide nissan based out of timonium maryland. They attempted to take possession of my vehicle from september until march because they did not have airbags in stock. They tried to force me into signing a waiver that would prohibit me from driving my own vehicle.

I turned out of a parking lot. Merged into lane headed towered cleveland ave. I ran the red light and hit a car. I hit it head on going 40 and the air bags did not deploy. I was also 16 weeks pregnant and had to be take to the hospital for further evaluation. The front on my car was damaged so bad to the point where the whole front of the car frame was bent. The police said that the impact and how much damage was done my airbags should have deployed. But they did not.

Takata recali got a recall notice over a year ago, and nissan keeps telling me i'm on the recall replacement list but keeps delaying installing the replacement airbag.

On november 13, 2016, my car was hit real hard on driver's side in front, and the air bags never came out. My daughter was stopped on city streets at the start sign, and as she was checking to move out into the intersection this was traveling down the hill fast trying to make a left turn, he didn't complete, and ran right into my car. The insurance company totalled my car.

Upon closing the passenger's side door, the passenger's side air bag deployed without warning. The contact's granddaughter drove the vehicle to the contact's home.

I still have not received any notification from nissan to bring my car in to fix air bag problem.i noticed it was recalled jan 2017 and states no remedy.it has been very humid in pittsburgh pa this summer.and agin i notice recall for july 2017.if something happens to my family when driving this car or a passenger.there will be a lawsuit against nissan.

Takata recall - both drivers side and passengers side of my vehicle have been recalled. When i called the dealership closest to me, they told me to come in to get my airbags replaced. When i went in, they told me that the driver's side airbag would not be ready and that they would get in contact with me that day to set up my rental vehicle while i waited for the airbags to be available. After calling again, i have heard nothing from them for 2 weeks.

Takata recalli have gone several times to nissan dealers to request the change of the airbag but they have not done it

I received a notice about the recall.i contacted the nearest certified dealer and was told that the parts would not be available until after january 01, 2018.

Airbag inflator recall was repaired but the airbag light on the dash did not go off or clear, further diagnostic tool showed airbag sensor was flashing and broken clock spring was listed on diagnostic sheet. Nissan dealership did not repair the airbag sensor or change or fix clock spring therefore still being a safety hazard during deployment, which can lead to metal fragments breaking and bursting thru causing possible threat by shooting metal fragments to car occupants. Nissan airbag recalled the inflator for the specific reason of repairing it completely free of possible injury from metal fragments breaking during deployment and nissan did not repair it. The recall states dealership is not to release vehicle until successful inspection. It is not repaired and still poses the same threat the recall states. It's now reported as fixed to manufacture, stating zero recalls. The 97.7 million dollar lawsuit amended requirements sept 2017 for dealership to repair to full inspection regulations. Dealership should fix the clock spring free because it directly impacts deployment of airbag and inflators. It's been a little over 30 days since recall repair, how can i get help making nissan dealership responsible to replace clock spring?

Takata recall: my 2009 nissan versa was recalled for the takata air bags.i received a formal notice from nissan last spring and was advised of the potential issue but they did not have parts available to replace the part at fault.their remedy was to not have anyone sit in the front passenger seat until a replacement part was available.i finally got notice to schedule the replacement of the air bag inflator in late september.the service advisor at my nissan dealership advised there were 2 recalls for both front air bag inflators but they only had parts for the passenger side.service was scheduled for 10/2/2017 and the passenger side inflator was replaced within a week of my receiving the notice.however, the dealership service advisor told us that the driver's side part is not available an will not be available for 3 to 4 months.this is unacceptable to me - will nissan give me a loaner vehicle until the part is in stock?apparently, lives are in jeopardy and no one seems to be in a hurry to remediate the situation!

Takata recall my vehicle has had a recall since may 2016 and it is feb 2017. I am told not to drive with any passenger, yet the parts are still not available to replace the defective airbag. Everytime i ask my dealer about it, they say it should be "next month." please advise how to get this replaced asap. Thank you.

No incident to date. I received a notification in the mail that my passenger-side airbag is unsafe, but nissan is still waiting for parts before the defect can be remedied. In the meantime, if an injury or death results from this defect, i will sue the manufacturer.

Takata recall.noticed my airbag light came on on my dash when i started it. I took it to the shop and they said it had been recalled.

Takata recall date of 5-23-2016. Have not received notice to have passenger-side airbag replace. Have called local dealers and all say same thing. "maybe the replacement part will come in next month. Call us then." after many call to various dealerships, nothing has been done to fix my problem. Wife must sit in back seat.

I was driving south on a local highway when another vehicle pulled in front of me from a side street.i immediately swerved to the right and attempted to warn the other motorist with my horn, but it did not work.i avoided this crash, but strongly believe a working horn would have helped a lot in this situation. The horn on the vehicle usually works if you hit it in the very center of the button, but only works about 50% of the time when it is pressed on either side where the horn symbols are.when we tested another 2009 versa at the dealership, the horn worked even worse than my car.nissan/north america and the local dealership assert the horn is working as designed. I believe they do not want to admit it is a design defect because they do not want to make repairs.i believe they should stand behind their product and honor their manufacturer's warranty.i hope this dangerous defect will be repaired by nissan at their expense.

Check engine light came on, code was for a small evap leak, noticed smell of gas fumes inside the passenger cabin.independent mechanic found and showed me a cracked fuel pump housing, additionally the electrical connection was black on the leftmost pin, evidence of arcing (sparking) from a short/poor connection between contacts.

I was pulling out of a wawa after fueling up when the check engine light came on the car stalled in the middle of the road. I had to push it to the side. The road is normally busy thank god this did not occur during the busy time. I got the car to the dealership i explained to them my issues they repaired it by resetting the engine module thing. I just took the car back in middle of march due to the car riding rough service light back on and the engine is making a lot of noise. The car had 30379 miles on it at this point. The dealership demanded oil change receipts told me i needed a new motor. They told me i had to pick the car up and it was safe to drive. I later found out the vehicle was not safe to drive after dropping it back off again. There was a lower engine knock due to the pistons. I finally got the car 04/05/2012. I went to drive on i95 and the car was being slugish and it was hesitant with switching gears. The car is still noisy and riding rough. The car is vibrating at traffic lights like its going to stale. I now how have to take it back another time. The dealership claims they did a road check and safety check but there was no sheet that they could show me. I am now again without a vehicle. I am fortunate i didnt have my child with me. This car is not safe at all.

Horn not reliable and will not always work or makes a low "sick" sound, had to have fuel valve replaced as car wouldn't start, had to replace battery, had to replace door panels as material on arm rests came out.

The contact owns a 2009 nissan versa. While driving approximately 40 mph, the front passenger side tire deflated without warning. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the front passenger coil spring fractured and punctured the front passenger side tire. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred on three other occasions on both front coil springs. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 12,000.

Nissan versa 2009 sl ' hatchback - car accelerator was irresponsive when the car was put into drive or reverse. Regardless of how much gas pedal was pressed, the car just rolled forward at approximately 5 miles/hr and did not exceed that speed. Car's rpm did not exceed more than 1100 even after the gas pedal was pressed all the way against the floor. Finally, the car was towed and taken to the nissan dealer to diagnosis.the dealer told me that they were not able to properly diagnosed the vehicle. Once they received the car, they hooked it to the computer and found some defect in the computer code. Then they wiped the code (basically reset it) and drove the car around town for 3 days in an attempt to replicate the problem. However, car started driving just fine after that. The dealer did not repair any parts/electronics other than resetting the code and gave the car back to me saying that it was a computer code glitch.

July 2, 2013 - while driving the service engine soon (ses) light comes on. The rate of speed does not seem to have an impact on this problem. I have taken my car to the nissan dealership on 7 different occasions for this problem. Each time the computer reveals the following code: p2a00 a/f sensor failed. So far the following repairs have been done: replaced front air/fuel sensor (nov 2011), replaced o2 sensor and reprogrammed the engine control module (ecm) (mar 2012), replaced the a/f sensor for the 2nd time, and reprogrammed the ecm for the 2nd time (april 2013), replaced the fuel pump (may 2013), replaced the a/f sensor for the 3rd time (june 5, 2013), reprogrammed the ecm (june 18, 2013),and finally replaced the o2 sensor for the 2nd time (june 27, 2013). These repairs have not fixed the problem. The ses light has come back on after my latest service in june 2013. I am frustrated and feel that something else must be going on.nissan is of no help and is not offering any further assistance other than to replace the same parts over and over and reprogram the ecm. Very frustrating!

The contact owns a 2009 nissan versa. While driving 40 mph during day light the contact noticed that the speedometer was difficult to see. The vehicle was taken to the dealership where the contact was informed that the failure could not be serviced. The current and failure mileages were 6000.

Difficulty reading speedometer)i have a 2009 nissan versa hatchback.this safety complaint is based on the fact that the quadrant ( zero to 40 miles) cannot be read during most daylight hours.the backlight provides a contrast sufficient to read the speedometer only during evening and low light periods.it appears this is a design problem because the speedometer face is set so far back that is it deprived of natural light and/or the back light is not strong enough to create a contrast.the quadrant (70 to 100 mph) receives sufficient light to be read, but i never drive over 60 mph.this is indeed a safety hazard because in strict speed zones, especially schools that use camera enforcement, i am forced to drive with one hand on the wheel and the right hand holding a flash light.i made a complaint to nissan and they advised they cannot do anything to correct the situation.i stress this design flaw on the part of nissan is a hazard to safe driving.

The contact owns a 2009 nissan versa. While driving various speeds, the horn was activated, but failed to function. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that a pin in the horn fractured and the horn needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 100,000.

My oil plug came out during a 45 mile drive home. I had my oil changed in feb. And in june it fell out during the drive. My engine started knocking and almost blew up. It was smoking upon the stop to look at it. I put 4 quarts of oil in it and it came out in a matter of seconds. I had the oil plug replaced and put 5 quarts of oil in and it has been fine since.

The contact owns a 2009 nissan versa. While driving 55 mph on the highway, the vehicle jerked, lunged, and lost power. There were no warning indicators illuminated before the failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (hawkinson nissan, 5513 miller cir dr, matteson, il 60443) and could not be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vin was unknown. The failure mileage was 70,000.

While the vehicle was accelerating out from a stop sign, it suddenly without warning or noise lost all ability to accelerate and stalled in the intersection. No lights came on at that point. Restarted car, drove home. I could feel acceleration hesitation in the gas pedal. Next morning i started car, now has engine light on. I drove to work, it repeated the behavior once. The next day i took the car to get the computer code p2138. The car stalls everyday the first time it is driven and i can feel the hesitation everytime. After the inital stall, it drives fine the rest of the day. Check engine light remains on. I did unplug the accelerator pedal sensor to air blow off any dust. It continues to behave the same whether coming out of a stop position or driving on the road or highway and the check engine light remains. Will be taking it to nissan dealer to have recalls checked and will ask about this issue as well.i went on this site and saw that other nissans have had this issue over the years.

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 memory of this incident. I do have my records (receipt from aaa)

I bought two 2009 nissan versas brand new.first the front right hub cap fell off both vehicles within the first year.next the key hole cover on the door handle fell off on both cars.by the fourth year the ac compressor went out and i had to pay $1,300 to replace it.finally i walk out to my vehicle, go to open the door, and the driver door handle came completely off.when i was driving on the highway i saw another nissan versa (same model) with the door handle missing.the part is defective.

The contact owns a 2009 nissan versa. The contact stated that the exhaust shook and made a loud noise. The contact also stated that the vehicle lost acceleration power. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and was told the flange that connects the manifold to the engine along with the catalytic converter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The failure and current mileages were 56,000. The vin was not available.

Before we can get the car fixed while the airbag recall was in effect, while driving the car caught on fire.

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.

Exhaust became very loud, rattling, etc.verified that the flange on the muffler had rusted off at the welds.muffler hangers held the muffler in place.not able to comment as to whether or not any drivers or passengers suffered from c02 related health or breathing issues.

I was turning onto a side street and heard a thump under my hood on the right side of the car.there was no difficulty driving although i kept hearing thumps for days after.i went in to a garage to get my snow tires put on and the garage saw that the spring above my right front tire was sheered in half and had damaged my tire.i had it towed to the nearest nissan and they fixed it while i went and bought new tires.about 3 months later, it happened on the left side.then about a year after that, the spring above the right front tire broke again, so i replaced it a third time to a cost of $1200 per spring.i contacted nissan and was told no recall was in place for this.the mechanic at the garage told me this was a common problem for this car.in addition, at the same time, i noticed the engine losing power at different times, especially when stopped at a light or upon acceleration from a low speed to a high speed.no check engine light, no engine trouble noted, just loss of power.shutting the car off and turning it back on seems to reset it but it's an ongoing issue.

Engine completely stalled four separate times while driving on freeway at freeway speeds. Without warning, totally lost power and had to coast to the emergency lane. At first, engine would restart, cough and sputter, then die. After about ten minutes, however, it restarted like normal and it was like nothing happened. Drove fine for months until it happened again. And again. And again. This started occurring when the vehicle had about 85,000 miles. Took vehicle to dealer after last incident (about 95,000 miles) and they said they ran complete diagnostic tests, but could not find the problem. Advised me to have vehicle brought in next time it stalls (but the problem appears to be transitory). I am afraid to drive the car on the freeway and consider myself lucky i didn't get rear-ended.

My service engine soon light came on so i dropped by advanced auto parts to have them pull the code.it read as cylinder 4 misfire.i took it in to mcgee auto to have a detailed diagnostic, which indicated that ihad a bad coil on one of my spark plugs.i had four spark plugs replaced, an ignition coil changed, and intake manifold resealed; however, after leaving and getting a few miles up the road the ses light came on again.i stopped at another advanced auto to have the code pulled and again it read as a cylinder 4 misfire.i contacted the repair shop and was asked to bring the car back in.they did another full work up and again found everything to be fine.after leaving the shop again the light came on a few miles up the road.this happened repeatedly, and every time they would shut the light off it came back on and remained on.in march under new management, i returned to mcgee auto and they took another look.after posting my symptoms into the computer they noticed that my original plugs had been replaced with aftermarket plugs.they replaced all four plugs and coil, and did something with the fuel injection at no additional cost to me.after leaving the shop a couple miles up the road, the light came on again.i took the car back in on monday, 3/18.further research entailed a compression test.cylinders 1 through 3 had 130% compression, but cylinder 4 only had 70% compression.i was advised that the issue is an engine problem and without tearing it down they are unable to identify the exact cause, but it could have something to do with the piston in cylinder 4.in contacting nissan, they found that my warranty coverage is for 60,000 miles and unfortunately i was at 66,000.when asking what this really means i was told that i will likely need a new engine or a new car because it would be costly to tear down the engine to find the problem.

Exhaust failure at rear flange. Possible muffler detachment resulting in a car accident. Vehicle under 100,000km... Note, i will never buy another nissan, so many exhaust failure complaints.

The contact owns a 2009 nissan versa. The contact stated that while driving at 35 mph, the engine stalled without warning. The vehicle was unable to restart. The vehicle was towed to independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump and connector failed and needed to be replaced. The independent mechanic advised the contact that the parts were on back order.the vehicle was not repaired. The local dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, however informed the contact that fuel pump was available however the fuel connector was on back order. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

The nissan dealership informed me of a broken mid pipe on the muffler. I researched the issue and found that many people were told that it is related to salt on the roads. The issue appears to be persistent across nissan versas in the late 2000 models (especially 2009). There is a loud roaring noise from the muffler and a strong gaseous smell inside when the engine is on and no other heating/cooling functions are turned on.

The contact owns a 2009 nissan versa. While driving at 30 mph, an abnormal noise was heard near the rear driver side. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the muffler exhaust flange fractured and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 88,000.

For many years*, the exhaust from my nissan versa has made me sick (nauseous and headaches) similar to how vw exhaust would make me sick. I am concerned that nissan vehicles may be cheating on inspections checks like vw was doing. Exhaust from many other vehicles may smell, but this particular exhaust is sickening. Our vehicle passes emission standards for md each year and we always keep it well maintained. So again, i am concerned they have software that works to fool emissions testing by changing the exhaust allowed when hooked up to an emissions testing computer. For a point of reference, my parents own a 23 year old ford explorer (also well maintained) whose exhaust does not cause me sickness. Thank you for considering this issue!*the form is requiring a single date, but this has been continuously making me sick each time we run the vehicle (it does not abate with mileage or weather conditions) since 2011-2012.

Vehicle does not start right away. It occurs at least once a day. I took my vehicle to nissan service department four times, no problem has been found. The service department replaced a fuel regulator assuming that was the problem, but the problem still have not fixed.

My exhaust started to make a lot of noise when i turned the car on, the muffler was rattling. When i checked underneath the car it looked like the muffler had came loose. I took it to the shop and they showed me where the exhaust had rusted through and is detached from the muffler. I researched , that nissan versa exhaust system is known to per-maturely rust, a lot of people are having to replace the exhaust system or muffler due to cheap parts.

A brand new car bought early january 2009. It has 60885 miles when incident occurred. The muffler fall down and broke at flange connection point. Went to nissan dealer to check out and exam the problem. They indicate that a corrosion from inside the muffler pipe has occurred and caused this cracks, so it fall down. It was clear a poor manufacturing, or default in manufacturing this part was the reason to cause this incident. Dealer offered to replace it with a new part with cost up to $ 600, where it supposed to be free of charge. I would to claim nissan us corp. Responsibility for this incident. They did not made early recall to replace this part where they knew the problem. It was clear that they wait to happen at any time to make more profits. This it looks like as a fraud.suppose controversy, this muffler fall down on high speed road, it may be cause, and could be, a deadly accident. Therefore, i am asking you please to investigate this problem with all nissan vehicles, and do what is necessary to protect us from such accident, and to provide us with a suitable compensation.thank you.

This morning when i drove to work and came into the parking garage i noticed a loud noise making my versa s hatchback sound like a monster truck. I drove it home about 15 miles and inspected it.appears the incoming muffler pipe "disconnected" from the gasket with a fairly clean break.this happened on the side of the muffler closer to the engine and furthest away from the back of the hatchback.causing loud noise, seems to be worse when idled at a stop light/sign.found a forum online that states this happens in northern climates (i live in mi) and a lot of other people actually experienced sooner than i did.

Immediately upon startup, a loud rumbling noise similar to after market exhaust was audible as well as a strong vibration down the center long-axis of the car.i stepped out of the vehicle and inspected the undercarriage to find that the flange had eroded and the muffler was dangerously loose.no rust is visible, and the undercarriage is clean, so this is not due to inadequate maintenance or road salt.i have found hundreds of similar complaints online where service stations and repair shops have commented that there is a serious design flaw in the versa muffler, which typically fails between 50-80k miles.allowing such a failure to continue on the road without a recall may result in unsafe road conditions for all drivers; if the muffler falls off, it will become an obstacle on the road which may impact other vehicles or cause drivers to swerve to avoid hitting the material.

2009 nissan versa seeng: 1.8 liter gasoline,found engine mount insulator bolt very loose not threaded in correctly. Took to dealer for re-threaded and remounted. Question is what if that was a bolt hold breaks and you going on hy-way and it fall off and you can't stop.

The car wont start half of the time. Its takes two times to start the car. Usually the car cranks for about 10 seconds before it will start. It has been this way for about 10 days.

Trying to find out if recall on 2009 nissan versa. Noticed car engine seemed louder than usual. Mechanic found 'muffler neck' (bracket where pipe from engine goes into muffler) was rusted with a hole, had to get new muffler and gasket etc., $389.26 for parts/labor/tax. Mechanic showed me the muffler system that he removed. Rest of muffler/pipe system was not rusted, so i'm suspecting a design problem where water is somehow accumulating in that one area to rust just that spot, but requiring the whole system then be replaced. At about 81,000 miles and car is garaged, this does not seem like normal wear. I've read other complaints posted online also about the muffler system rotting out too soon, and many seem to be about the same mileage as mine. Either a design and/or parts quality issue, it seems.

As has been documented in 29 previous complaints on this site, nissan versa has known failure of exhaust system flange within 36-48 months, resulting in muffler failure and dangerous levels of toxic fumes entering cabin and outside air.potential loss of muffler while driving also creates risk of accident and injury to car passengers and/or other vehicles on road.expense to repair via midas in this circumstance was $474, with this one location reporting this as "standard" issue with all nissan's, for which they have completed "non stop" repairs.nissan has refused to offer any assistance to customers on this issue.this is well documented, and a known safety hazard for both potential accidents and air poisoning dot needs to investigate and hold nissan accountable for recall and repair of this flange.

I have a 2009 versa that has approx 3800 miles.this happened out of no where: the car had been driving fine until i came to a stop at a light.the car began to hesitate like it was going to die. I pushed the gas and it was still hesitating as i drove.i finally, stop and turned off the car and began driving it again. It was okay until i came to a stop again and it started all over. It felt like it was going to die while i was driving and someone would come behind me and hit me.there was no engine light indicators showing any problems.i felt unsafe to drive and asked the dealer to tow the vehicle to be checked out. The dealer is working on it but said that it may be the crank sensor, that was the code when they put the computer to the car. The dealer drove the car and was unable to duplicate the issue.

The catalytic converter flange that connects to the intermediate exhaust pipe corroded and the catalytic converter now needs to be replaced. There's not even 30,000 miles on the car. Moreover, the connection between the intermediate pipe and the muffler also corroded so the intermediate pipe had to be replaced. At approximately 25,000 miles i had to have the muffler and tailpipe replaced because the connection between the two had corroded and they had separated.

When i went to proceed through an intersection after being stopped for a red light my car suddenly lost power. It made clunkingnoises and even though i kept giving it more gas i barely made it through the intersection.i then steered into the shoulder and turned off the car, waited a few minutes and started it again. The engine started but i still had noises and no power to move forward.i had the car towed to the dealership where i bought it new and have all the routine maintenance done. They did a thorough inspection and several road tests to duplicate the problem but couldn't find anything.i have never had any problem with the car and now have a loss of confidence and am concerned that this may happen again. After my breakdown i did some research and found that others have had the same sudden loss of power and no one is able to diagnose the problem.

I have a 2009 nissan versa that has a little over 11,000 miles on it. I have started experiencing a problem with it not wanting to start the first time along with it dying at random times while driving. Major safety issue for me and my family.i have already had it to victory nissan in knoxville, tn three times and i'm taking back again for the fourth tomorrow and they are still advising nothing is wrong with the car. I had the fuel pressure regulator replaced, but the car is still not running properly.it recently died in my apartment complex and would not start back and i had to have some individuals help push it into a parking spot.i have had the vehicle stop in traffic on the interstate and also on other streets, which poses a concern for me being on the highway driving this vehicle.i would like to know how to resolve this issue or if nissan will do a buy back of this defective vehicle i have purchased.

Have had problems starting 2009 nissan versa, problem begins with long starts, car turns over 6 or more revolutions before starting, then leads later to the car turning over and not starting at all.dealer replaced the fuel pressure regulator the first time, fuel pump the second time and now they state they are unable to diagnose the issue with no corrective action being done the vehicle.if car is able to be started it runs very choppy, dealer insisted it was a compression problem, but now claims there should not be a continuing problem.first issue was at 8440 miles, second and third at 14,959 miles.

2009 nissan versa.consumer writes in regards to vehicle coil springs fracture issues.the consumer stated while driving, she hit a small pothole and heard a loud bang. The consumer and her husband thought it was a flat tire, but after pulling over, they did not see anything. They continued to drive, but then they heard another strange noise and smelled burning rubber. By the time the consumer pulled into the driveway, the tire on the front passenger side wasburning.the vehicle was towed to a repair shop. The consumer was informed both front springs were broken on the right side. The consumerstated a couple of years ago, the left rear spring was replaced.also, the muffler was replaced twice.

My nissan versa 2009 muffler seems to be corroding or rusting too quickly. We first replaced parts of the muffler a little over a year ago (in 2013) and now the muffler is going bad again. I have seen other 2009 versa owner complaints about the mufflers online. I do not know if this should be a recall issue due to hazardous gases that can leak into the cabin or mufflers that may fall into the road.

Muffler flange connecting to exhaust pipe broke.the weld that connects the muffler to the exhaust pipe broke.had to replace entire muffler over a broken weld.cost over 300.00 to fix the issue.of course, nissan was no help.

Muffler rusted through and cracked through normal driving. I was lucky that the pieces did not come apart on highway and cause an accident. Seems like a product defect that the only part of the car undercarriage that rusted is the muffler. Had just had the car serviced by nissan who did not ever warn me that anything was out of the ordinary with the muffler. Now i'm forced to pay almost $600 for the repair.

The contact owns a 2009 nissan versa. While driving at an unknown speed, the contact heard a rattling noise underneath the vehicle. The dealer stated that the muffler welding fractured due to road salt. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 89,000.

The muffler is making noise. It looks like it has a lot of rust. The car has only 25000 mileage so far. Must be a defective part from the company.

Fuel gauge on 2009 nissan versa completely stopped working. Looked on the net for advise on how to fix it, to my surprise there are 7 pages of people with the exact same complaint. Nissan says its not their prob. I say these people are pushing lemons and then when something fails they say its not their problem.there needs to be something done about this issue because it is clearly not an isolated incident.

The contact owns a 2009 nissan versa. While driving 30 mph with the air conditioner turned on the contact suddenly fell asleep and crashed into a vehicle. No one was injured. A police report was filed.prior to the recent failure, the identical failure occurred twice resulting in a crash; however, no one was injured. A police report was filed. The contact also noticed that the failure doesn't occur while using the heat, only when the air conditioner was being used. The vehicle had not been diagnosed by the dealer. The failure mileage was 19000 and the current mileage was 22000. Updated 08/31/10. *ljthe consumer also stated her husband blacked out while driving the vehicle as well and crashed into another vehicle. Updated 08//31/10 updated 09/07/10. *ljupdated 09/21/10

The high-beam switch lever is also the switch to turn the head lights off or on. Many times i have pushed or pulled the lever to turn bright lights on or to dim them. On many occasions i have turned off the lights at night because the lever rotated to the off position.this happen regularly, especially when dimming quickly because of oncoming traffic.

I purchased a 2009 nissan versa. I have just over 40,000 miles. While driving on the highway at 65 miles per hour in the left lane, my car suddenly shut off and lost acceleration at an alarming rate. Due to a guard rail on my left, i needed to get over to the right lane quickly and was just barely able do so safely. I was almost involved in a very dangerous accident! my car was towed to a local repair shop and it was found that my fuel pump was dead and needed to be replaced. I had to pay for a very expensive repair on a relatively brand new vehicle ! i was told that this happens often. This is extremely dangerous and definitely unacceptable!

Fuel pump failure at 36,000 miles.

I own a nissan versa 2009 and i am constantly having problems with starting the vehicle, like it is not getting enough fuel or something. Also, last week i was driving the vehicle and it suddenly would not go when i pushed on the gas. I took my vehicle to the dealer and on the way there it started working fine, i left it at the dealer anyways and they kept it for three days and called me up and said that they could not replicate the problem and therefore there is nothing they can do. My vehicle is still having problems and this time my wife was turning a corner onto a busy highway and almost got in an accident because the car would hardly move and the other car was going really fast. The dealer refuses to do anything about it unless they can replicate the problem, this is a serious safety issue and i have kids that drive in the car with me. They even charged me money to diagnose the vehicle and there was no diagnoses they said "there is nothing wrong with the vehicle."

To whom it my concern,the day march/11/13,i was driving my nissan versa 2009 at route 9 south, new jersey,when my car stop running, at that time i got scared because it never happen before,i look at my dashboard and what isaw that it was power and gas but my nissan versa do not want to stare,after an hour trying, i called the towing truck to take my nissan versa to the mechanic, after a few hours my mechanic called me to tell me the fuse of the fuel pump blow up,i asked him the replace it wit a new one. With all that in place i. When back to drive my nissan versa. Now let me tell you that i used my nissan versa to go to work and to drive my family around.now my second incident i was driving again on the route 9 south,06/28/13, but with the only difference that i was driving on the third lane my nissan versa with a heavy traffic and my family in the card,it happen again,no gas,no power,looking for to stay away of the traffic,trying to protect my family from to get hurt,now my question is "do i need to risk my life or my family every time that i driving my nissan versa 2009?"thank god at these time i was capable park on the side of the highway and call the towing truck to bring my family and my nissan versa 2009 home,what about if was my wife driving?, i know she wont have the strength to move the car with out power.please help me to resolve these problem,for you it my not be a big deal but for me is my life in risk if i drive my nissan versa 2009.thank you in advance.god bless

At about 32,000 miles, the engine quit while in traffic, and the car (2009 nissan versa) was pushed into a parking lot. The car was towed to the dealership, and left overnight. The engine failure was caused by a fuel pump failure. The service advisor said it might have been the pressure sensor, but the entire fuel pump assy was replaced.

I own a 2009 versa with 5120 miles. Recently it has developed a problem that causes it to have a substantial delay in starting. It is intermittent during the day but happens at least once daily.i plan to have the vehicle serviced for this problem shortly, but wanted to register this problem as it has already happened to at leastone other complainant.

The car it not start, i took it with a technical and he said is the gas pump, all nissan versa year 2009 they have the problem,nissan they never make a recall.

When i first purchased my new 09 nissan versa i had a start up issue and then it went away, now approx one year later after purchase i had start up issues...took it to dealership and they put in a fuel pump regulator, from what i'm hearing this is a very known problem. Thought i would advise you since i also heard some people are having to replace this often and some are losing power when driving there cars on highways...i hope this never happens for me since i have to kids!!!!

While turning into a parking space in a crowded, busy costco lot our versa stopped running. No warning, just stopped and would not start. Car was towed to a nissan dealer where we were told the fuel pump needed to be replaced. Now nissan knows that this is an issue with the versa but has issued no recall only a technical bulletin so they do not have to pay for the problem. Had our car stopped on the highway during a snow storm the result might have ended with loss of life. Is this going to be like the toyota accelerator issue problem that was known but not communicated to the owner. Can you help?

Every time i filled up my gas tank, the cabin filled up with fumes.i went to my mechanic and foundthe 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.

I was driving down the freeway at about 70mph when the car started to decelerate.after pulling over to the side of the road i was unable to re-start the engine.the starter would turn the engine; however the engine would not start.i had the car towed to a dealership; they later contacted me telling me it was a fuel pump problem. They called me the next day to tell me nissan does not have the part in stock and that it is on back order.

After replacing the fuel pump in 2013, the car stalled out in the fast lane of a small town. Negotiating to the right side of the road was extremely dangerous. The vehicle had to be towed to a mechanic where it was determined the second fuel pump also failed. Nissan, in an attempt to avoid a general recall, issued a only a technical bulletin warning of possible fuel pump failure. This situation can be extremely dangerous and should be resolved by nissan.

When applying the brakes at a low speed the vehicle accelerated to approximately half a throttle for about 10 seconds, everything went back to normal after this incident. This happened 2 other times with the same results. Each incident was about a week apart.

Vehicle accelerates to a high speed with slight tap or will not accelerate at all.

Takata recall - the car blew up on the side of the road - was driving heard a pop, pulled over to the side of the road seen fire from under car then car blew up

Fuel pump over-current condition resulting in opening of fuel pump electrical supply fuse.per service technician, this is indication of pending fuel pump failure.when fuse blew, car went from 65 to 0 mph in less than eight seconds on us 75, mile marker 49.should this had occurred two days earlier on interstate 80, between the i-480 and 680 interchange in omaha, multiple fatalities would have occurred.case no. [xxx] filed with nhtsa on 6/4/12.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I was driving and all of a sudden the car lost pressure on the gas paddle and wouldn't take gas. When the car started back it would run for about 3 seconds and cut off, it eventually stopped cranking. So i had to have it towed.

I was driving down a highway, going 55mph and the car suddenly stopped accelerating. Luckily i was going downhill so i was able to coast into a parking lot. After stopping, i could not get the car to start again. I had to call a tow truck and since my warranty had ended at 36k miles, i took the car to another mechanic. He called a few days later to say it was my fuel pump. I had to pay $687 which left us in debt for a few weeks. I hope someone pays attention to these 20+ complaints about the fuel pump.

My 2009 nissan versa just had a fuel pump failure (14 feb 2013). I use this car four days a week to commute to work 83 miles each way. I have completed all maintenance on this vehicle i do not understand why without any warning that this fuel pump would fail. I also remember right after i purchased this car that nissan replaced my fuel pump at no cost to me but now the same fuel pumphas failed anyway to the tuneof $644.58. I searched the internet and discovered that there are numerous customer complaints of fuel pump failures on nissan versa's. Ihad hoped that nissan would return some if not all of the money that i had to spend out of pocket for this service since this appears to be a re-accouring problem with fuel pumps on nissan versa's. I filed a claim and they turned me down they said thatthere were no recalls for this problem even though they performed a service right after i purchased this car that they called i believe a technical notice. I was lucky this time because i was on the highway when the failure accoured and was able to steer the car over and off the road before something (an accident) happened!i believe this matter is going to get someone killed if it happens at the wrong time especially on the highway.

Hatchback latch, an electrical component, failed to operate. Replaced switch but according to many technicians, problem is more involved. Nissan fails to acknowledge problem endemic (per on line complaints) that part is defective. Hatchback needs to be accessed in event of emergency. Cannot remove spare tire, jack, etc. Without opening hatchback. Vehicle was not in an accident and hatchback mechanism simply failed. Once again, nissan failed to provide any information or assistance.

I bought this used car with 25 thousand miles on it, but the transmission never worked. It is too expensive to repair and few people know how to do it, therefore i think i have to buy a new transmission. It is a cvt. I want to know where can i buy a new transmission from nisssan with some kind of discount, actually i am living in guatemala. When i bought the vehicle it was stationary. So thankful for your advice and help.

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.

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.

Motor mount bushing cracked, deteriorated.brought to my attention during last maintenance done. Advised to replace to avoid future damage to drive train.

Jatco cvt transmission failed at 70,200 miles. Bearings burned out, engine roaring, then suddendeceleration and acceleration.

The contact owns a 2009 nissan versa. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning.

The approximate failure mileage was 86,000.

Out of a clear blue sky, the shifter on my 2009 versa, would not go into park.it would also slip out of park at the slightest pressure & provaction & into reverse.luckily there wasn't any persons or vehicles behind me when that happened, but scary as all get out.if you ask me the recent recall of 2011 & 2009 versa's for "defective shifter knobs or shifter assemblies" should be expanded to include 2009 model years based on my experience. Since this happened i was terribly afraid to use the vehicle (and have not) since by it not going into park i also could not lock/secure the vehicle & feared someone might take the vehicle & unknowingly cause an accident.

I drive a 2009 nissan versa.i got it april of 2010.this car has unexpected or delayed acceleration.on several occasions i step on the gas to accelerate like when i get on the freeway and the car is very slow to accelerate and then 5 seconds later it accelerates too fast.

At about 2800 miles i took the car to the nissan dealer for the first oil change. They informed me upon inspectionthey found a cv boot was not sealed properly. They advised they would order and replace entire constant velocity joint assembly. Part came in 2 days later dealer fixed-no problem.

I had a 2009 nissan versa(hatchback) that was made during 2008 but was a 2009... I am seeing other cars on here that have had the same issue with the seats. This is very troubling! i was sitting still in traffic when i was hit from behind by a speeding car doing around 60mph. On impact the drivers seat i was sitting in shot forward and then backwards as theback of the seat broke.slamming me in to the back seat in a laying down position. Thank god i was not killed from the seat breaking. I know of someone else my husband works with that has the same year, make and model of car i had and the samething happened to him after he was hit from behind by a car going around 50mph. His seat also broke on impact.

Driving along, heard a loud pop as i turned onto a major roadway. The car was pulling very badly to the left side and could barely stop the vehicle. Had to have the car towed home and the struts replaced on the car. After doing some research this seems to be a common and very costly issue. I was quoted $930 to have this issue resolved. Not a happy nissan owner.

The coil spring broke on the passenger side of the car ripping into the tire, while i was driving.the car's steering was immediately affected and so were the brakes, since the broken spring ripped the brake line.i broke down in an underpass and had to call the police since we were placed in a dangerous spot with cars speeding by.i did not expect this for a car that is 6 years old!from what i have read so far this seems to be a prevalent problem with nissan versus and it seems that the dealers are not taking any action.

I was driving in the middle lane on the highway in a rainy morning and saw the car in front of me putting on brakes.i put on the brakes (pretty hard but not all the way through, 70%).instead of slowing down, the car started to make a sharp turn to the right lane, then swirled back to the middle line and to left line, and spun into a "8" shape facing the oncoming traffic and spun across the right line and threw itself in the ditch.i went to nissan dealership and asked them to check out the car.what explained to me is that nissan have drum brakes, and in this cause, drum brakes did not held the wheel in the rain.the front brake stopped, but drum brakes for back wheels are not working, and that caused car spinning.to sum up, the brake works fine when weather is good, but the manufacturer defect shows up in rainy or icy days.drum brakes did not work in those weather conditions.the car did not have abs brakes and the salesman did not told me.

Excessive corrosion of steel brake lines on rear beam axle caused loss of brake fluid and subsequent loss of brakes

Nissan versa hatchback 2009, the brakes squeak very loudly whenever the car is warm. I have taken to be repair 5 times and the problem cannot be fixed.

The contact owns a 2009 nissan versa. While driving the vehicle at a speed of 25 mph, the driver attempted to apply the brakes but the vehicle would not stop. The failure occurred on five different occasions. The vehicle was at the dealership for diagnosis at the time of the complaint. The current and failure mileages were 9,761.

The contact said that in the last year the front rotor and pads on the vehicle have over heated and broke. The rotor and pads has been replaced 3 times. This happens at all times regardless of speed. There has not been an accident, but the vehicle constently has problem stopping. This is only having to the front brakes and not the back. 2000 miles at time of problem and 5000 miles on vehicle now.updated 06/29/10.*ljthe consumer stated there was too much heat on the brakes which caused them to wear out quickly. Updated 09/27/10

The contact owned a 2009 nissan versa. While driving approximately 55 mph entering the right lane the contact was forced to turn the steering wheel back in the opposite direction in order to center the vehicle.the vehicle did not respond to the change in steering and continued to drift to the right until it crashed.during the failure the brakes would not function.the vehicle was destroyed and towed to an insurance lot where they did not diagnose the failure. The failure and current mileages were 50,000.

1st incident) i was driving on ice. I was going around 40 mph and i started to slow down as i approached the stop sign about 100 yds from the intersection in rural indiana near warsaw, i applied a normal amount of pressure to the brake pedal(abs kicked in) and the versa wasn't slowing down like it should; i applied more pressure and still no significant drop in speed. I took me the full 100 yds to stop the vehicle and i went past the stop sign by 15 or 20 feet before fully stopping.2nd incident-same day) i was driving approximately 20 mph on a city street in downtown fort wayne, in. The road was covered with ice. The car 30 feet front of me put on their brakes when the traffic light at the approaching intersection turned from green to yellow. I applied my brakes(abs kicked in) and it was like nothing was happening i kept going forward at the same speed and i was about to have a rear-end collision so i used the emergency brake and the car drifted left into the oncoming traffic and then went into a 180 degree spin. An oncoming suv dodged me and i stopped in the middle of the road without hitting anything. I observed no other vehicles with difficulty braking on the ice.i've driven over 35 years and have driven many different cars, pickup trucks, and suv's. And none of them had such a poor braking system as this 2009 nissan versa hatchback. My wife took the vehicle into the dealership in fort wayne for a 3,500 mile checkup. I called the service manager and described the incident that occurred in downtown fort wayne. He pretty much said that ice is dangerous and there's no vehicle that won't slide on ice. I said, i didn't slide until i applied the emergency brake. I said it doesn't feel like there is enough brake fluid going to the brakes to stop the car. He said "we don't have any equipment to test for that." my wife told me that a mechanic at the dealership said that the versa brakes are terrible on ice. Dealer found no problem with the brakes.

On october 28, 2008, i purchased my first vehicle ' a 2009 nissan versa from tim dahle nissan. My experience with tim dahle nissan has been both frustrating and discouraging. The incompetence and lack of care exhibited by the salesmen and general manager is beyond belief. The day that i purchased my vehicle, my salesman rich vanpatten did not care to mention to me that the nissan versa does not come equipped with an anti-lock braking system. I discovered this fact while reading the owner's manual and realized that abs is an optional package that a customer may chose to add to their vehicle. I am completely astounded that nissan has chosen not to make abs a standard safety feature in the versa. Although abs has not proven to decrease the amount of accidents caused, it creates a way of driving and swerving in winter conditions that someone such as myself, who has driven with abs for nearly my entire driving career, would have to adjust to when driving a car without abs. Seeing as how an abs package costs only $250 to include in the vehicle's price, i would have happily added this package to my nissan versa.i aired my concern with my salesman rich vanpatten and the other salesman- who pressured me into believing that the only way to solve the problem would require me to pay $5,000 for a vehicle upgrade. I attempted to discuss this matter with the general manager ronnie dunn and he failed to return any of my calls. Finally, after making an appointment with the "sales manager" clayton, he failed to show up to the appointment to discuss the matter and never called to explain his rude and distasteful behavior. I feel that it was my right to know about the abs option and to decide, for myself, if it was an option that i needed for my vehicle. Rather, i was told my several sales associates that it is useless and that i would simply need to change my driving behavior. I am glad that i was able to find out this problem before i went into a skid this winter!!!

The brakes have been non-responsive three times on my 2009 nissan versa. When depressing the brakes - there is no response. Fortunately, when depressing the brakes a second time they respond. The first two times were atspeeds below 20mph. Today the 26th of dec. 2008 the brakes were non-responsive (first push) at 50 mph. On second push the car swerved first left then right - i took my foot off the brake and on the third push the car braked as expected. Having brakes be non-responsive at any time is obviously a problem.i made the dealer aware of the failure when it occurred the 2nd time on 12/13/08 - the dealer bruce bennett nissan of wilton ct 203.544.8371 reviewed the car (keeping it overnight) on 12/16/08. They determined that nothing was wrong with the brakes. Today on 12/26/08 i left a message on the service line as it has now happened a 3rd time - but i was going faster and the car swerved severely when the brakes were used on the second push. Hopefully i will here from them tomorrow. I also called nissan customer service - however they appear to be closed.

Stirring is making a noise when backing up when wheels are turning. Wipers blades makes noise on drivers and doesn't clear view on passenger side. Having problems finding replacement parts. Cd player has a reading erra, want play at all. Tried cleanerbut still doesn't work.

I purchased this car new and it was passed on to my daughter. No accidents prior to the incident that i am reporting. In april, my grandson called his father and said that he had a flat tire. Upon inspection, this flat tire was caused by broken right front coil spring. I am glad that the car was parked when it happened. Mileage on the car was about 34,000 miles. I am very upset about this because this could have caused a very serious accident. My grandsons are special to me. This vehicle should be recalled for inspection and or replacement of the coil springs on all of the versa automobiles. This is a definite safety issue. Is nissan going to sweep it under the table like another manufacturer?the repairs costs $217 which was a very reasonable amount. The possible risk is not reasonable. I just checked the web site so this should be incident number 44 that is reported to you.

Recently the power steering of my nissan versa 2009 has started making annoying noise when imade turn.of the vehicle.

Recently i noticed a piece of metal near my mailbox. Looking at it i quickly realized it was probably a piece of my nissan versa hatchbacks left coil spring. Sure enough, the breakage matched what was on my car. Why did i so quickly guess that it was from my car? because my right coil spring went at about 39000 miles and i had read up on nissan versa hatchbacks and sure enough, a bunch of people have had this problem (i actually was waiting for it to happen). My right coil spring broke more drastically when i was going at highway speeds and i went onto a bridge. There was a loud clang and my alignment went whack. Later upon inspection at a repair shop, i realized that i could have had a very bad crash seeing that the sharp part of the broken spring coil was only a few inches away from my tire (it was pretty ugly break). The repair cost me 200$ with a student discount, which i very cheap, some people fair worse. The more recent left coil spring broke without me even noticing anything, i only found the broken piece about half a ring size. Since it was near my mailbox, it must have broke off at low speeds, probably when i drove over the little trough in front of the drive way for the drain. Somehow the rest of the spring just re-aligned itself so i was actually able to drive my car without noticing anything wrong. I obviously wont drive it now unless its to a repair shop. This is unacceptable, i am a 4th year electrical engineering student and i am disappointed at the engineers who designed my car. Other versa drivers had their wheels blown by these broken coil springs from what i have read, i have just been lucky. I am surprised there has been no recall yet by nissan or atleast some warning, perhaps no one was seriously hurt yet. When i get out of college and look for a new car, i don't think i will consider nissan. Thank god i wasn't hurt by these failures.

Within weeks of my purchase of a 2009 nissan versa sl, i noticed,when making right or left turns at slow speeds (5-10 mph), especially going over a bump and when the steering wheel is turned 1- 1 1/2 times (as in going into a driveway) i experience loud clunking and vibrations in wheel, and it can be easily heard coming from the steering column.the clunk is always there at 1 to 1 1/4 turn from the full clockwise stop.i have taken it in the dealership for this problem at least 5 times; they have been unable to fix the problem. Several times, the service writer said he couldn't hear or feel the 'clunk' but the mechanic said he could. The versa does move around quite a bit at high speeds on the freeway, but i am unsure if that is caused by the above described problem or the light weight of the versa. The sound and feel of this 'clunk' is very disconcerting, and given the number of complaints i've seen for 3 years about this problem, i'm wondering if the government/automaker are waiting for someone to die before they act.

Vehicle experiences knocking in the steering column at low speeds/stationary when turning the steering wheel clockwise and counter clockwise. This knocking symptom is amplified when vehicle travels over uneven surface at any speed. When braking at speeds, the steering wheel shifts violently in operators hands. Rotors and pads as well as strut assembly was replaced in an attempt to correct the issue. Symptoms continued after these replacements. Tie rod ends and swing bars were later replaced with no positive results. This leave the assumption that the issue is related to the power steering system. Possible defect in the rack and pinion steering unit.

I noticed that the car was leaning toward the ground on the driver's side.i decided to take it to the dealership to have it checked out.the car was bouncy on the drive to the dealership.the tech looked at it and said it was not safe to drive because the left front coil spring was broken.he said the broken coil could break the brake line or puncture the tire.the versa has never been in an accident, is only 7000 miles over warranty, and i can't see how the coil could have broken if the part was not faulty.

During the month of may 2014 the versa started to make clicking noises at the front of the car especially when i applied the brakes.the sounds got worse and the car was not performing well.i took it to the service station in my neighbourhood and the person who repaired my car had to replace the 2 front strut mounts, 2 front coil springs and align the 4'wheels!the car only had 5420 miles on it at that time.now today, i took the car back to the service person as the car is making the same clicking noises and the steering column is making noise when i turn it to the right!i sent an email to nissan today to inform them of these problems and also to let them know that the car was taken in again today for more problems that have arisen!thank you.

My nissan versa has had an ongoing problem with the steering column.in 2011, while the vehicle was still under warranty, i complained about a popping sound in the front suspension of the car accompanied by a shifting sensation felt in the steering wheel.after checking the car over several times, the dealer discovered a problem with the steering shaft and replaced it.two years later, the problem resurfaced and has gotten much worse over time.now, my dealer is telling me i need to replace the steering shaft again - but i have to pay this time.i've not yet hit 70,000 miles and need a third steering shaft?sounds like a parts or design problem to me!nissan should replace it.

Front coil spring shattered tearing up front tirethis exact problem was noted for versa in recall 15v573000 date 09/14/2015.my car was not included in the recall.it appears that the recall was to limited.after getting car repaired nissan has refused to pay for my repair costs stating the car was not included in recall.luckily i pulling out of my driveway when the spring exploded.i think the recall was to limited and i should be reimbursed to my expenses.

Recently, i submitted a safety complaint here about a broken coil spring. At about 39k my right spring went and was replaced by a genuine nissan replacement coil spring. At about 61k, my left spring broke. I ordered a replacement from nissan and was going to replace it. Unfortunately, i noticed that the already broken spring had snapped some more and the newly replaced spring had snapped as well when the car was simply sitting on my driveway! the new right side spring only lasted about 22k miles or 15 months. Basically, i have experienced 3 broken coil springs from nissan after only about 61k miles of driving. I have read the stories at the carcomplaints website and many are similar to mine. Please investigate this problem before someone gets seriously hurt.

2009 nissan versa. After a couple of months with car and about 15k miles later, i started hearing a "thump" noise on the steering wheel/column. I took it in to the dealer and got it fixed. A couple of months later at about 30k, it began to do the same thing. I took it in again and got it "fixed". At about 40k it started doing it again. I don't have warranty on it any more so i haven't taken it to get fixed. However, i've been reading threads online about people experiencing the same issue, to the extent they've crashed due to the car not turning, while initial signs starting with the "thumping" noise. I think this is a design error/defect of nissan versas and respectfully ask that you please look into this.

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.

Vehicle wanders at speeds above roughly 45 mph. Wandering is severe at speeds above 60 mph.

I'll have 65, 700 miles on my car is am avery safe driver, don't speed an takes care of my car. So why am i hearing clicking noises in the steering column ? my mechanical c says the bill will be over $600. I am 72 an have never had this problem in any of my cars in my 50 years of driving. I'll hear clicking noises in the steering shaft when it turn right.

Loud clunking/popping noise coming from front of car while driving.

Within days of buying the new car in 2009, i noticed a loud, clunking squeak and a pop from around my front wheels when i would make a turn after slowing down to a stop. This had been happening during the entire 3.5 years that i have had the car, so i figured it was normal and harmless because the car was already doing it brand new (right now there are still only 37,343 miles on the vehicle, i park it in my garage, and it has had no accidents.) however, last night, the sound seemed to be louder and looser near the front-right wheel. Then this morning i drove out of my neighborhood and as i began accelerating to 50 mph, a large piece of metal flew out violently from under my car. I was able to find it in the roadway, so i backed up and inspected the part. It is the bottom coil of the coil spring that is over the right-front wheel. Luckily it did not hit anybody behind me or cut my tire. The metal was not only broken, but the face of the break was already slightly rusted, as if it had been cracked for a while before snapping.

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.

I have a history of complains with nissan about the steering. My complaint was about a pinging noise coming from the front end. You could also feel this ping in the steering wheel. Nissan ignored this complaint and explained it was my abs calibrating. As time went by the noise got worst. Nissan would even charge me $150.00 each time they look at the car for this noise and could not find anything wrong. Last week nissan told me there is a problem with the spring moving when the steering wheel turns. The spring tightens and loosens with each turn of the wheel. They have identified the problem and have a fix for it, but they want me to pay for it. To me this sounds like a defect in design and i should not be liable for the charges, however they wont repair it unless i pay for it.

Clunk sound coming from steering column when making right or left turns.

The steering column clicks and shifts when making sharp turns, especially getting on and off highway ramps. The steer column often times feel like it could twist off while driving. No injuries, crashes, or incidents in direct relation to this as of yet but does need to be looked into. Other instances have been reported on online forums regarding the same issue.

On the 21st of april 2014 my wife left work. As she was reversing the car she heard a loud grinding noise and then a boom. The front right tire blew out. She found a large sheered off metal piece underneath the car. We took the car in the next day to a professional service. They found out that the spring was completely destroyed. The cost to fix everything including the tire was $720. The worse part is that they only had oem parts available. This means that they had to put the same defective springs back on our car. After i filed a report with consumer affairs nissan contacted me back saying that they will not honor this defective part. We purchased our car in the summer of 2010. The spring lasted only four years. Had this been on the highway my family could have been seriously injured, especially during this recent winter. This is our only car and we have three children under three years old. No one should buy a nissan versa, period, if they care about the safety of their family.

The contact owns a 2009 nissan versa. The contact stated that the front driver side tie rod fractured while driving 5 mph.the contact heard a noise coming from the front wheel prior to the failure. The contact stopped the vehicle and called roadside assistance for assistance, who advised the contact of the failure. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer where the failure was confirmed and the vehicle was repaired.the failure mileage and the current mileage was 39,000.

A hole rusted through my muffler.

Nissan versa. Consumer writes in regards to airbag safety recall. *ldthe consumer stated the front becomes unattached and drags the ground.

All of a sudden the trunk won't open.

The contact owns a 2009 nissan versa. The contact heard an abnormal noise in the hatch. While attempting to open the hatch, the door failed to remain ajar. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but there was no information regarding the diagnosis. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000. The vin was unavailable.

The hatch on my nissan versa is stuck and won't open. It won't unlock and there is no key access and no button or lever inside the car to open it.

Takata recall - the car blew up on the side of the road - was driving heard a pop, pulled over to the side of the road seen fire from under car then car blew up

In 2016 the driver side, front, outside door handle had broken off.i had it fixed only to have it broken off again this past spring.this time ordered the part myself right from nissan.this was such an inconvenience of trying to open the door until it was fixed.now the driver side back, outside door handle broke!just wondering if this has happened to anyone else?? i live in the country so there is no one around to damage it. It is parked in the driveway off the street.

Handle on door came offrecall on air bags

My versa interior door panels are coming apart and i have already had one replaced but it did it again and now all of the doors are doing it.

I was driving at 45 mph and a loud "thump" under my car sounded like something hit the undercarriage. I looked back and could not see anything on the road. The next day, heard a "clang" under the as i decelerated from 20 mph. I stopped and found a piece of my right front coil spring in the roadway. The entire bottom coil of the spring had snapped right through the metal and fallen off the car. This is the second coil spring on my car that has done this. The left spring snapped the same way, about a year ago. The manufacturer must have used bad metal for the springs, and they could keep snapping while i am driving. It was dangerous when the first spring snapped, but if both springs snap on the same car, there is a serious defect.

My suspension spring snapped while pulling out of my driveway. This is a known problem with nissan versas. I have contacted nissan na and my local dealer and there is no current recall. I replaced both springs and they were both rusted and flawed. Luckily i wasn't traveling on the highway at the time, or it could have been a lot worse. I encourage those who have similar experiences to contact nissan and file complaints both with the na office and nhtsa.

Coil spring on passenger front side snapped and damaged the tire to bring a complete flat tire while driving.

I was driving slowly, around 20 mph, and exiting my workplace when i heard a sudden loud noise (like a clang) from the front area of my car. I thought i had hit something, but i stopped to look and there were no pot holes or anything around the car that i could have hit. I tried to continue home, as i live very close to a shop and was going to have the car looked at... But less than a mile later the car began to smoke from the passenger side wheel. I pulled off the road and had to have the car towed last night. Today i found out it was the coil spring, which had snapped off and was digging into my tire. Now i have to have to the coil replaced and purchase a new tire -- the one i have is nearly shredded. While i'm disappointed that i'm just outside my 5/60 warranty (currently at approx. 63,000 miles), i feel incredibly fortunate that this didn't happen on the interstate because i could have been seriously injured or killed by this malfunction. There was no warning that it was about to happen, i just happened to be going fairly slow when it did.

Front coil springs broke on 2009 nissan versa when pulling out of driveway.found piece of metal under left side of car that was part of the spring.the right side coil was also broken.i have saved both springs for review. We are the original owners of this car that is driven mainly by my daughter to and from school/work.very frightening situation for her.cost to repair both coil springs with labor was $430.72 from a trusted neighborhood mechanic since this did occur on a holiday weekend.

My car was being inspected in november 2013. The front driver side spring coil was cracked and had to be replaced. In march 2014 i was driving slowly and heard a horribly breaking sound. I found part of my front passenger side coil spring on the ground. It had broken and also had to be replaced. On the part that broke off from the car; there was a clear line. The coil was coated with a protective enamel like coating and was perfectly fine. There was a line however where there was no coating on the coil. This was completely rusted through. It is clear to me that there was a defect in manufacturing of the coil springs. The coil springs are not coated properly and are therefore rusting where there is no protective coat and breaking. There should be an investigation and recall. I had purchased an extended warranty which covered these repairs so fortunately i did not lose any money or suffer any injuries due to this negligence.

Pulling out of driveway, heard a "pop" noise and later found on the floor a piece of the coil spring from the front passenger side. Had broken off where it comes into contact with the strut plate that holds it in place at the bottom.i called the dealership, they say nissan won't cover it because its covered only up to 3yr/30000miles. I'm calling nissan too but need to car so having it towed to my mechanic to replace the coil. Coil spring costs $111.80. I'm sure with parts and service, it would be higher than that.there should be the nissan recall for this. This is potentially fatal crash problem.nissan better do the recall or get readied to be sued by someone soon. I read the same problem in canada versa forums too. P.s. Sorry about the all caps. This is the only way to tell how upset i'm. I use this car to commute my two little daughters to school daily. I would not want this spring to snap at highway.

While pulling out of my garage and having gone no more than 3 feet i heard a very loud snap and a grinding sound coming from the right front wheel.having read about the spring issue i knew what it was and immediately backed up into the garage.had this happened 15 minutes later i would have been on the highway going 55 mph and probably rolled the car.there is no excuse for nissan not addressing this issue.they know of the problem and i see that the 2010 versas also have the problem.my dealer is well aware of the issue and stocks the springs.i replaced both springs at the same time to save further grief.there is also no excuse for the nhtsa and dot for not forcing a recall on the springs.i guess they wish to kill a few people first.

I drove my car to work fine that morning. Leaving work i heard strange clunks while in the parking lot. Looked the car over but didn't notice anything. Continued to drive car on my usual route. I went over a bridge and my car bounced terribly.i made it home and my boyfriend found my driver side coil spring busted.was still able to carefully drive it to my mechanic and he found that the passenger side spring broke too. Reading online i see many complaints on this happening. There should be no reason they should break on such a new car. They are defective and hazardous. I feel very lucky mine broke the way they did and not puncture my tire or lock my steering.

The drivers side front suspension coil spring fracture in my model year 2009 nissan versa rusted/corroded and broke while driving on the highway at approximately 70mph.the noise was apparent and the car immediately began pulling slightly to the left.i pulled over to examine the vehicle and could not find any specific reason for the noise and continued home.i took the car into mccarthy nissan and was told that the front coil spring had rusted/corroded and cracked and that driving the car in that condition was extremely dangerous and required immediate replacement of the front coils.

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 was backing out of my driveway and there was a loud bang under the car.i stopped the car and got out.a 6 inch section of the drivers's side front coil spring was laying on the driveway.

I went to check the tire pressure on my wife's versa while it was sitting in the driveway.upon doing so, i noted that the front right coil spring had broken somewhere near the bottom of the spring and the sharp broken end was lodged tightly against the top of the tire tread, depressing it by about half an inch.amazingly, it had not yet broken the tire, indicating that whenever the breakage had occurred, the spring had only recently broken loose and impacted the tire.had i not noticed the broken spring and had the vehicle driven anywhere, it likely would have resulted in catastrophic damage to the tire or wheel, possibly causing a crash.i have noted hundreds of complaints about this exact issue in this database and other places on the internet (the majority of complaints about versa's seem to be related to coil springs breaking).our local dealership has agreed that there is likely a systemic problem since they have done many replacements of this part in particular, and shipped many replacement parts all over new england.they have also stated that without an official recall, the best they can do is to replace the part, at our cost.the parts themselves are nearly impossible to find at this point, and many customers have had them replaced multiple times, supporting my belief that they are defective.i request immediate investigation and would like a recall campaign initiated asap.the failure of this spring in a driving situation could/would likely cause damage of the sort that could lead to serious injuries or deaths, and we are simply lucky that ours did not.as it is, we will likely need to have the vehicle towed to get it repaired safely.

While driving out of parking spot, heard a loud pop from the passenger-side wheel area. The coil/spring had snapped. I brought the car to the mechanic and he said the driver-side coil/spring had corroded as well. The mechanic said i was lucky the broken end didn't puncture the tire. Had to have both coils replaced.

Driving out of parking lot around 10mph, heard loud metallic clang from under car. Pulled forward, got out, noticed that front of car was riding 6" lower than normal. Took to mechanic, told me that coil spring on suspension snapped. Informed that many 2009 versas have had this issue.

The first instance happened on the driver's side of my car as i was backing out of the parking spot at my house, i heard the loud ping of metal snapping.i backed up a little farther and stopped to find a piece of what i would later learn was part of the coil spring on the front driver's side.i took my car thedealership where they told me it could have easily sliced open my tire or brake line had i been going fast.after a lot of back and forth between us they repaired it without charging me.fast forward to january 12, 2014, 64,500 miles.i don't know exactly when the break occurred this time, but as i was driving home, i would here a clanging sound whenever i turned or hit even the slightest bump in the road.i checked the car the next day and noticed the front end was low.upon closer inspection, the passenger side spring is now broken.i haven't been able to get a closer look at it yet, but it looks broken in a similar manner to the first one.everything i've looked up tells me that these springs are normally suppose to last over 100,000 miles, and yet both mine have broken now before hitting 65,000 miles.once again the spring could have easily sliced the tire or a brake line, and had i been on the highway when that happened it could have easily ended badly.this really needs to be looked into, from all the other related problems i've seen, it sounds like a bad batch of springs.

Left front coil spring failure , spring snapped as i backed out of driveway, i shudder when i think what would have happened at highway speed , as i travel the garden state parkway daily . This vehicle has never been abused , and in my almost 40 years of being around cars i have never seen a potentially deadly spring failure as this . Also , upon checking auto forums online it seems this failure is not uncommon to the nissan versa .

The contact owns a 2009 nissan versa. The contact stated that while driving 30 mph, the tire tread separated and the back side of the rubber became separated from the rim. The vehicle was taken to a tire shop and was repaired. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was advised that the suspension spring and the coil tie were fractured. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure and the current mileage was 43,500.

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

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.

First 3/4 of passenger side coil just snapped off and the rest shot past the spring seat on the way down just bending the brake line not kinking it and missed the anti lock brake sensor wire. After further inspection driver side coil was snapped in around the same spot, just didn't end up off the spring seat. 250 dollars worth of parts plus mechanic labor. Luckily it broke in the driveway. Mechanic said i definately would have gotten in an accident if i was moving more than 30mph.

While driving at low speeds i heard a loud pop. The vehicle seemed to drive fine but that weekend i took it in for regular service at a local service shop. I asked them to check for the source of the loud pop in addition to the normal service. They informed me that not one but both of my front coil springs were snapped and that i was lucky the coil springs were retained on the upper support shelf as they could have sliced a tire potentially causing an accident. This vehicle has 87,000 miles, has never been in an accident, and is only driven to and from work 90 miles round trip daily on good highways..

The left front coil spring snapped while pulling out of my driveway. Cost to fix - $389. Nissan has 33,000 miles and is a few months out of warranty. The service dept manager acknowledged the part as defective and urged me to contact nissan. Nissan corporate, after two weeks of back and forth, told me too bad, not their problem.

Backing out of my driveway i heard a grinding noise, and when i got down to the street and put it into drive, i heard a loud pop and ping from the front end of the passenger side. Part of the passenger side spring had broken off. I pulled it immediately back into the driveway. Upon inspection, i found a piece of the spring in the road and noted that the passenger side front of the car was lower than the other. I called a tow truck, had it towed to my mechanic and they found that the spring had indeed broken off. The spring was not rusty, it is currently 6 years old and has only 45k miles on it. Since there are no aftermarket parts for this and nissan sells spring, mount, strut (not an assembly), they are forced to put on all nissan parts which makes me nervous that it will happen again. The mechanic advised i was extremely lucky this did not happen while i was driving as the spring had gone through the strut and was very close to shredding the tire. Upon researching this to see if there was a recall, i could not believe the amount of complaints i found about the very same thing happening to other people. I hope nissan steps up or is forced to do a recall and reimburses me, as i had both sides replaced and it cost me $1266, not including the $80 for towing. I am just thankful it didn't happen while i was driving, as it has happened to others....updated 07/30/15updated 9/24/2015

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 ofother parts of the front end this seems like another part failure.

2 rear springs broke while driving in city(already had front springs replaced due to recall)

The contact owns a 2009 nissan versa. While driving at various speeds, the contact heard an abnormal noise near the front of the vehicle. The contact observed that the vehicle scraped the ground. The dealer diagnosed that the strut springs were fractured and needed to be replaced. The two coil springs and front struts were replaced. The vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 15v573000 (suspension). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the state was not part of the recall states. The failure mileage was approximately 79,457.

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.

Hit 40 thousand miles 3 days prior to incident. Pulled out of garage and heard an awful grind, pulled another 3 feet and the front end fell to the ground. Upon inspection both coil springs (not at all rusted) busted. I am roughly a 60 year old driver that has had this vehicle from the day it was new. I work 4 miles from home and fortunately don't really have the opportunity to go over 35 miles per hour. Can not imagine what would have happened driving at 60 mph and having the front end at the same time come to a screeching halt? really sad part about this, dealership bob rohrman arlington hts nissan would not stand by the gold extended bumper to bumper warranty i had recently acquired.

I had hopped into my car today, started it, put it in reverse and had moved about two feet before i heard an extremely loud *clunk* that came from the front passenger side. I immediately stopped my car, put the e-brake on, turned it off and got out to see what had happened. At first i didn't see any damage, then i looked under my car and saw a cylindrical curved piece of metal. I picked it up and not knowing what it was or where it came from i didn't want to move my car again until i had some answers. My friend and i walked to the nearest garage and showed the piece to a mechanic and he quickly diagnosed the issue: my passenger side suspension coil had snapped off at the base (about 6 or 6.5 inches had broken from the bottom of the coil.) the break is very, very clean--almost like glass. There was no sign of rust or any other sort of damage to the coil, and after reading the many complaints on this website that are identical to mine i am thinking that this incident today was only caused by a factory malfunction! i do not drive over bumps or holes like a maniac, i drive over them sensibly just as i'd think many other people with this same problem do also. I am a very poor single mother & college student and something needs to be done about this! scary to think about what would have happened had i been driving down the highway.

My car was at jones junction nissan on 1/31/15 for a routine oil change and brake pad replacement. When the tech lowered the car from the list the shock coil on the driver side snapped. We replaced it and thought it was a fluke accident.8 months later on 8/10/15, at some point while my car was sitting in the company parking lot of my work building the passenger side shock coil snapped. I didn't notice the issue until pulling out of the parking lot and hearing the sound of metal on metal. Once the car was towed to jones we saw it was the other coil snapping. While making repairs we discovered that nissan has almost 100 registered complaints for these coils snapping. You can add me to the list.

The contact owns a 2009 nissan versa. While at a completed stop, the contact heard a loud abnormal popping noise under the vehicle. The contact got out to inspect the vehicle and noticed that the coil spring fractured. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 120,000.

Second time in a month a suspension coil spring broke on my nisson.first one was the passenger front side and on sunday the drive's front side as i was pulling out of the garage.

The contact owns a 2009 nissan versa. While driving approximately 70 mph, the front passenger side coil spring fractured, which punctured and shredded the tire completely. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing and repair. The contact was not aware of nhtsa campaign number: 15v573000 (suspension) until after the failure occurred. The dealer (jeffrey nissan, 30800 gratiot ave, roseville, mi 48066, (586) 510-1378) refused to service the vehicle per the recall. The manufacturer was notified and opened three cases; however, there was no further assistance offered in regards to the nhtsa recall repairs. The approximate failure mileage was 53,000.

While driving on a country side road at 40 miles per hour, passenger side coil spring broke without warning after a small hill top (while the car was compressing the suspension) and tore the sidewall of the front right tire. The tire instantly deflated, the rim punched hard into the ground resulting in a temporary loss of control of the vehicle. The vehicle managed to stay on the road.car will need a new right suspension and some repair to the front bumper (scratch marks).

The coil spring on the front passenger side broke--this happened a few months ago to the front passenger side coil spring. These springs are complete junk. If this had happened on the highway we would have probably had a serious accident.

Car was setting in the parking lot. Opened the door to get in. Heard something hit the pavement. Looked under the car and found part of the left front coil spring on the grond.

I backed my car out of my driveway yesterday morning on may way to work and heard a loud thumping and moaning that was notpresent the day before. After i drove around the block, the noise continued so i took another car to work and took the nissan to my mechanic when i got home from work. The right front coil spring had broken and collapsed onto my tire. The right front strut was also leaking. My mechanic checked the left side and the coil spring was fractured but had not collapsed yet. The strut on that side of the car is also leaking. I called my nissan garage (kenny ross nissan in zelienople, pa) and they said they were unaware of any issues so i am having my mechanic replace the struts and coil springs on both sides, for safety purposes.

I was returning to kentucky from virginia. At grayson ky i heard a thump, thinking i had hit something on the interstate. I arrived at home (175 miles from grayson ky) when i started up my road the car felt like i was getting a flat.i stopped in my driveway and the left front tire was completely flat. The next morning i removed the flat tire and took it to a repair shop. At the repair shop the tire had a grove cut into the inside of the tire, the mechanic said i had better check the car to see what cut the tire. On my return home i inspected the left front suspension.the coil spring on the left front strut had broken and slipped out of its mount and cut the inside of the tire. It was just by the grace of god that the tire did not fail due to the cutting caused by the broken coil spring until i came up my driveway. I have the tire and coil spring if anyone would like to examine it. If it had failed at interstate speed i might have been killed.

The contact owns a 2009 nissan versa. While driving approximately 45 mph, there was an abnormal noise coming from the front driver side of the vehicle. The contact stated that the vehicle felt abnormally lower. The contact stopped the vehicle and noticed that the coil spring was fractured in two places. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 57,000.

After investigating strange noise from front suspension area, discovered that both left and right side coil springs were broken. One broken spring end came close to puncturing tire (which had to be replaced). Have owned many cars over many years and never had a coil spring break. Car is not driven under any extreme conditions. Cost to replace springs and damaged tire was nearly $1000. Nissan will not acknowledge any known problem with versa front springs, but nearly 50% of nhtsa complaints on versa are for broken front springs! if spring had punctured tire at high speed, could have been deadly.

The driver side front spring completely broke. I went to the vehicle one morning and noticed the front of the car sitting very low to the ground on the driver side. Almost not space between wheel and fender. I looked up under the wheel well and saw that the spring was completely broken. Luckily i was not driving this vehicle when this happened. I have seen numerous complaints about this same incident and strongly believe there should be a recall on this part. Nissan better step up. I am very disappointed with nissan and would never purchase another one ever again. The vehicle still has not been fixed. I ordered the two front springs and would try to replace them this weekend. I will take pictures and post them online.

The left front coil spring broke while standing in our driveway. Part of it shot in to the side of our house. Thank god we weren't on the hiway and have the broken spring shred our tire. I have seen many complaints of this car model's springs breaking on your web site. Why no recall?

The contact owns a 2009 nissan versa. While driving 50 mph, the vehicle spun out of control without warning. The vehicle turned completely around to the point that the contact and her family were facing towards traffic. The vehicle crashed into the bushes on the shoulder. The air bags did not deploy. There were no injuries. A police report was not filed. The rim was bent over the rear driver's tire. The vehicle was repaired and the wheels were replaced by the contact's local mechanic. The crash was related to nhtsa campaign number: 15v573000 (suspension). The failure mileage was 100,000.

My nissan versa was recalled for frontsprings to be replaced.i had already had the springs replaced because they broke. I was informed that i had to have the springs replaced again to satisfy the recall.the struts were rusted out, but were not part of the recall. I had topay to have the struts replaced when the dealership broke them removing them to replace the springs.the struts and springs are one unit and should have been part of the recall.the springs did not need replaced. I was charged over $250 for a recall repair that was supposed to be covered by nissan.

We took our nissan versa into tynan's nissan (780 s havana st, aurora, co 80012) for the recall on the coil springs. After they replaced the coil springs on our low mileage nissan versa, the ball joint on the passenger side failed within 10 miles of them replacing the coil springs for the recall. When this happened it put my amanda and our child in danger. Luckily they are safe and unharmed.jason at tynan's nissan service department initially apologized and said they would take care of everything and gave us a loaner vehicle, now 3 days later they are trying changing their story and trying to make us pay for the damage they caused during the recall repair. There is no way that a passenger side ball joint would coincidentally break on a low mileage car immediately after coil spring replacement unless they did something wrong to the vehicle to cause it.tynan's nissan is either not doing the recall repairs properly, or they purposely damaged our car for the purpose of taking our money. Either way we feel they should no longer be allowed to do recall repairs if they cannot do them without causing damages.

I purchased my 2009 nissan versa hatchback new and has owned and driven it for the past 5 to 6 years.one day i noticed my car started to make a strange noise whenever i made a left or a right turn with my car.the next morning i heard the same strange noise while driving to work whenever i had to turn the steering wheel to the left or to the right.after i parked my car at work and with daylight to see, i examine my car and noticed that the gap between my front driver side tire and the chassis was much smaller than the other 3 tires.i quickly made an appointment to have a local mechanic look at my car later on that day.within 5 minutes after the mechanic elevated my car on the lift, he found and showed me that the front driver side spring coil had broken in half, with the bottom broken half dangling dangerously near the tire.fortunately, i was not driving at highway speed (was driving at less than 40 mph around town) with this broken spring coil or this broken spring coil could have punctured my tire unexpectedly and resulted in an accident.i was extremely unhappy to learn that the local nissan dealership is aware of this problem, but there is no recall on this defective part and nissan is the only one that supply this spring coil part for my local mechanic to replace.to be safe, i had both front spring coils replaced, costing me $950 in repair work (incl. Replacing the 2 front struts and a wheel alignment).i am very disappointed with nissan and can not believe that i had to replace the spring coil after just 54,000 miles on the car and driving it for less than 6 years.having own different cars over the past 25 years, this is the first time i ever had to replace a spring coil in any car i've own.

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.

Car was parked in driveway and upon going in reverse noticed a piece of metal on driveway where the front passenger tire was when car was parked.it looked like a piece of the coil suspension and upon further inspection found that it had broken off from front passenger coil spring.the piece was not corroded.i am happy i wasn't in motion when this broke, highly unusual for such a part just to break off by itself.why isn't the government looking into this issue?

I started to back out of my drive way when i heard a loud cluck sound. Upon checking the ground i found part of the passenger side spring laying on the ground. There is no rust. The part just broke. This appears to be a problem. I am just glad that i was on my way down the highway where someone could have died.

This car has the nhtsa recall 15v-573 , which is for the front spring suspension. You guys have to do the rear recall for the rear springs because they've rusted. Like in my car, they're rusted and it only has 56,890 miles. So my car is having problems with the rear springs. I'm sending the pictures that i took. Thanks so much.

The driver side spring of my 2009 nissan versa broke when i was pulling out of the garage.i heard a big bang and assumed it was from ice build up.i continued to drive and the vehicle pulled hard to the left.turns out the spring had sheared previously (as rust had built up on the break point) and it let go at that time.my driver side strut is bent as a result of the spring breaking.

My wife's 2009 nissan versa drivers side front end collapsed onto her tire last year in the last week of june 2014. When i entered the vehicle and placed the gear into drive the front driver end collapsed on the tire and a piece of the metal strut fell out of the car onto the pavement.we contacted the company and nissan finally decided to pay for the repair after we threatened to take legal action.we asked the dealer mechanic who repaired the shock/strut that we were now concerned that the other side would be faulty and if it was safe and/or it needed to be replaced.he said he checked it and it was fine.sure enough just a little more than 1 year from then my pregnant wife wakes up to find the front end of her car collapsed on the passenger side while being parked in our driveway.we are extremely fortunate that neither one of us was driving the car when both of these incidents occurred.i am currently trying to deal with nissan now to rectify this situation but felt it necessary to warn others that this is a growing problem and a severe concern to the safety and welfare of all who drive.

Althuough i'm not sure exactly when it occurred, i suspect it happened while dodging winter potholes in streets leading into cleveland, ohio for an event there. Returning home on the freeways, my wife and inoticed the ride was extremely harsh. Later i noted the drivers side was low in the front. Actually there was only an inch between the tire and the wheel cutout. I tried bouncing the front suspension but is was solid. Clunking as i drove out my driveway, i went to my dealer service manager who did a quick look at my parked car . He knew instantly it was a broken coil spring and had a set for both sides readily at hand. The new springs are only warrantied for 1 year or 12,000 miles. Which makes me think they haven't solved thier problem and i don't like the idea of paying for it while being a test driver. I never owned a car in 55 years before that i did not trust. I did buy this car new in july of 2009 but found out later it was manufactured in november 2008.

Tire blew out on the highway.had car towed to a body shop where i was informed that a coil spring had broken and caused the tire to blow.looked online and noticed that this is a known issue with the nissan versa.nissan customer service was unhelpful, getting basic facts of my case wrong and claiming no liability since warranty had expired.this is a known issue with high potential for mortality.i recommend an investigation into a potential recall.

My vehicle has long time problem of springs. Last time i was driving at 45 mph speed the front spring broke, causing severe damage of front tire. After long time nissan recalled front spring. Buti have rear spring broke again . My rear spring broke after i try to drive from parking lot. I have talked to nissan north america they are not willing to help customer. Broken spring problem is a part of nissan versa. It is dangerous and i cant trust my car.

When backing out of the garage this morning i heard a grinding noise, pulled back in.got out, looked for a flat tire or some object being dragged under the car, didn't see anything unusual and tried to back out again, same grinding noise.got a flashlight and noticed the coil spring on the front passenger side was resting on the tire.looking closer, found a large piece of the coil spring broken off and sitting just behind the wheel well on the ground.car drove fine last night, spring broke off at some point before i left for work this morning.

Right front coil spring snapped. Burst the tire. Had to be towed to nissan dealer.both front coil springs within 1000 miles, vehicle only has 31000 miles on it. Faulty part. Could cause an accident. (have made a complaint for each spring on this site.)

Rear coil springs broke for similar reasons that the front coil springs break. (front coil springs are currently under recall).rear coil springs broke causing a flat tire.rear coil springs needed to be replaced to safely drive the vehicle; and the flat tire needed replaced.rear coil springs were not properly manufactured and coated.the vehicle was in motion, on a township road.

When pulling out of garage heard loud bang from right front end.thought had run over something in garage, but found nothing at the time. Drove several hours on highway without further incident until turned sharp into destination driveway and heard a definite suspension "spring-like" sound. Drove around the block turning hard, but sound did not recur. Subsequently heard the same spring sound intermittently, especially when making a hard turn.had problem evaluated by nissan dealer who said right front coil spring was broken and needed replaced.subsequently took in for actual repair and dealer instead recommended to replace both front coil springs (best as a pair), both struts (since right one seeping slightly),and have aligned. Total quoted cost about $750 for all repairs.

Navigating slow, 90' left turn, heard metallic object sliding across roadway behind us. Upon investigation found the bottom 3/4 ring of the front drivers spring snapped off. Very small rusted pit visible, the rest of the tear appears to have occurred all at once - no aging evident on the exposed metal. Estimate to replace both front struts and springs is $982.

After dropping my vehicle at the dealer for other service, i was notified that the left front spring was broken, and that the axle boot was leaking.both necessitated replacement.

I was in a parking lot, stopped.the car was in drive and my foot was on the brake.suddenly there was a loud metal crash sound.the car jolted slightly, like something hit the car.i got out of the car and saw a piece of the front left suspension coil spring behind my front left tire.the spring had broken at the end, about half way around the first coil on the bottom.i feel that if i had been travelling at speed, this defect could have caused the tire to fail, and i could have potentially lost control.

:while pulling into the parking lot at work (thankfully was not driving on a road or at full speed), my front driver's side tire snapped out of place.at first, we thought it was a ball joint, but once it was brought to the garage, i was told that the spring had snapped and would need to be replaced on both sides, to the tune of 1400 dollars.while i am thankful that i wasn't driving on a highway or near pedestrians (i work in a city), having this happen on a 6 year old car seems a little suspicious.i hope there is some sort of recall and would love to know if nissan is willing to reimburse the 1400 i unexpectedly had to pay.

I noticed a strange noise coming from the front area of my car when i turned the wheels or hit a bump.i took the car in for a safety check and was shown that i had a broken left front coil spring. Unless it's defective,i can't believe this spring should break except in an accident.

We have had two 2009 nissan versa for my son's to drive after completing boot camp in the usmc.after friday's failure, both vehicles have broken coil springs in the front suspension.fortunately, he was not traveling down the road and was only backing out of the driveway.

My spring broke while pulling into a tire shop and went flying across a parking lot, leaving part of the broken spring stuck in the cradle.

At first i was hearing "bump" noises that sounded like a sway bar issue for a couple days. Then i heard a noise that sounded like i ran over a branch, except there was nothing in the road before - or after. I drove about 100 miles home on the highway, still thinking it was related to the sway bar. After about 10 miles on the backroads, it sounded like i shed a metal part. Upon retrieving the part from the road, it was about a semicircular piece of the front driver side coil spring that broke free. All unidentified noises are now gone, and dealer found nothing wrong with sway bar (after $88 diagnostic fee). Dealer quotes $565 for repair, except they can't do the repair even if i wanted them to. According to the dealer, it is a nissan exclusive part, except nissan is not currently making the part and it is on "national nissan back order". The dealer advises that "i am currently paying monthly for a car i cannot drive, and cannot repair without using junkyard parts that in all likely-hood will also fail at some point.

Motor mount bushing cracked, deteriorated.brought to my attention during last maintenance done. Advised to replace to avoid future damage to drive train.

I backed up my car in the morning from parking lot, heard an unusual noise. Stopped the car and could not find anything wrong. As i started driving the car, even though the car was moving as usual a strange noise was coming from the front passenger side. Just before pulling to the nearest mechanic, smoke started coming from the car and soon the front passenger tire burst with a loud noise. Immediately pulled the car to the shoulder and found a broken coil spring fell on the road . The same issue happened to me couple of months back where the driver side (front) coil spring broke and popped out when the car was backed up in the parking lot (tire did not burst as i was already in a mechanic shop for an oil change). I think the nissan versa 2009 hb model coil spring has an issue specially when the vehicle is backed up( may be with the steering in a certain position). This is a life threatening issue if such things happen in a highway as the coil spring break followed by a tire burst can risk the lives of passengers.

I am a us marine serving in germany. Nissan has been refusing to replace my front springs in accordance with the recall because i am not in north america. Last month one of them broke on the highway. Luckily, no one was hurt.

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.

My car was parked in my driveway overnight. I got in my car the next morning to go to work and as i put the car into reverse and let off the brakes, i heard a really loud noise that sounded like metal snapping. I got out and looked to see what the noise came from. I couldn't notice anything immediately so i started to drive and i could feel every little imperfection in the road jolting the car. I immediately brought my car to the shop and sure enough my shocks/struts/strut mounts were gone on the left driver's side. The coil just broke in two and was so close to causing major damage to my wheels.

Pulling out of our garage, there was a "pop" noise and later we found on the garage floor a piece of the coil spring from the front passenger side had broken off where it comes into contact with the strut plate that holds it in place at the bottom.

On 10/15/2015 went to nissan dealer for routine oil change(mileage 50938)during inspection mechanic found both lower control arms o suspension bad and was replaced at the cost of$895.24 also 4 wheel alignment was was done at the cost of$109.95.when back home i look for recalls on suspension system on nissan versa and find out that there is recall on coil springs effective as of 09/14/2015.at the time of service i was not informed by the dealer about this recall and when i contacted them and ask when coils will be replaced i was told that they don't have parts and i have to wait till nov/dec 2015 for the coils to be replaced.do some research re:lower control arms failure on nissan versa and find that it may be related to coils failure as it is part of the suspension system interconnected to spring coils.corrosion of coils can cause the tension on the springs to fail and cause the other parts ofthe suspension to go bad like in my case.i my be lucky that coils on my car not broke off yet but for sure they all ready cost me a lot of money and may cost me more because the problem is not fix yet.get in touch with nissan but was told that even the arms are the part of suspension system interconnected to coils-the coils are not cause of arms failure.i do not agree with nissan opinion on this and i told them that i will file complaint to nhtsa.because ofnissan refusal to accept they fault and solve the issue i do not have other option left but file complaint and make other nissan versa owners aware about the problem they may have with their cars as i did.

Front coil spring broke while driving

Driver side front coil spring broke while driving.appeared to be very rusted.

Backing up to change parking spot at work. Heard a really loud noise front right. It ended up being the coil spring apparently. Didn't know that it was because the car drove okay after that. But when i took it in for oil change and tire rotation, that's when it was discovered it was broken. Quite costly to replace.then in september of 2014, i went back in for a new oil change & tire rotation. When mechanic was rotating tire, the front left coil spring just snapped right in front of his eyes. Car still drivable, but is costly to replace. I have a limited income. Now, this seems to be an extreme problem with nissan versa. This needs to be put in as a recall and they should be footing the bill for their errors, not us , the trusting consumer.

Driver's side front coil spring failed while sitting at a stoplight. Fortunately not driving in traffic at the time.no reason given for failure, vehicle always kept on paved roads <43k miles.

When backing car makes a moaning noise. I just learned of a recall for front springs coil springs. Recall id 239045. Your site says that my car isnt under it but should be. The car to my knowledge was first sold in florida. I bought it from carmax in va. Florida was not one of the recall states but va is. We use road salt here. It seems to do it in hot weather.

The coil spring on my front passenger side tire broke in two and then moved out of place to damage and eventually pop my tire (in a matter of minutes). The edges of the break on the spring are very jagged and tore away the rubber from my tire as i was driving.

Both front coil springs on my 2009 nissan versa snapped in half on the same day. There was no apparent rust or fatigue. The front left tire was gouged out beyond repair from one of the springs (i am lucky it didn't puncture and burst while i was driving it.) i had to replace both coil springs, the mounts, the sway bars, and the tire, costing me nearly $1000 in repairs. I do not believe this is acceptable on a 5 year old vehicle with relatively few miles on it.

I was driving aprox. 30 mph when i heard a snap in the front.the car pulled to the left and went in the opposite lane of traffic.i got out and found a piece of broken or snapped coil spring under my vehicle.

In may 2014 the left front spring in our car broke.the following august the right front spring also broke.the springs broke in the exact same place.we still have the broken parts and can send pictures if requested.we got no help from out local nissan dealership.there are over 100 of these complaints all over the web.we believe these springs are defective and should be covered under warranty.

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.

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 prompt the manufacturer to do as they state in writing and over the phone.i request an investigation of current practices of process and policies.i believe my human rights have been violated based on the impact of their business operations and services.thank youinformation redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Front drivers side spring broke while car was parked in driveway.found lower part of the coil spring on the ground.

Right front coil spring, alignment thrust broken when backing out of driveway into road.

When i put the car in drive to pull out of my parking spot i heard a noise and the front end driver side dropped. I had to replace the coil spring and strut. The strut was damaged due to the coil spring breaking. I had to fix both sides and get front end alignment which cost over $700.00. Based on what i have read this is a know problem with the nissan versas and there should have been a recall. I drive on a highway in bumper to bumper traffic daily and was lucky it did not happen there. The next person may not be so lucky. Nissan needs to do something about this before a serious accident happens.

I was pulling out of my parking space when i experienced what felt and sounded like running over an empty soda bottle. I even looked back to see what i had run over but saw nothing on the ground. Needless to say i continued on my way but while driving down the highway the front of my car felt like it was bouncing up and down and was hard to steer and control. It was taken to the dealership where it was purchased and i was told that the front left coil spring had broken and this was going to be a major repair. I was shocked that something like this could randomly happen and was informed that this is a typical result of an accident (which was not the case) and was then later told that is can occur from "normal" wear and tear or age of the car. Now this is where i became skeptical because the car is ~4.5 years old, less than 54,000 miles, is very well kept, and although i have a long commute it is primary on the highway. I have done some research on this issues and it appears that i am not the only one that has encountered this issue in the same year, make and model of this car. I have also spoken to a few mechanics who also feel that a 4.5 year old coil spring should not just break so easily as it did. I did ask to keep the part and now have it in my possession. I have contacted the nissan's corporate branch but found that to be a dead end after several back and forth exchanges over the past few months. After speaking with a few other nissan owners they were not surprised as not one of them has ever had a pleasant experience dealing with this corporation.

Pulling out of garage the front right suspension spring failed - it broke into 3 pieces. After dropping the vehicle off at the nissan dealership for repair, we were informed that the front left spring was also cracked and to prevent a similar failure should be replaced.

Someone told me that there was a recall on my car for the suspension

Heard a thunking noise from right front of vehicle when turning hard right or left. Took to sears where i recently bought tires and had aligned and they said right front coil spring broke, and to take to nearest nissan dealer as they can't get spring. Saw that 22 states and over 200k nissan versas were recalled already. Nissan dealer said no recalls on my vehicle. I am paying for repair out of pocket. Only 77k miles on vehicle. A coil spring should not break with this few miles. Car was originally registered in idaho where salt was used. I live in washington state where it gets down below 20 degrees in winter. I should not be paying this out of pocket.

I purchased this car to have a safe vehicle for my baby to ride in and am infuriated that after 5 months of purchasing it and only 72,000 miles, the front passenger side spring snapped clean off. There is no signs of rust and after reading numerous complaints of the same problem from other versa owners, this clearly is a defect in the part. Why has there not been a recall on this???it's a major safety hazard. Is it really going to take for someone to get injured or killed before something is done about it, or is this issue just going to be ignored?

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?

At 65 miles an hour the front coil spring on the driver's side malfunctioned and broke creating a sharp edge that cut the front driver's side tire.this caused a blow out on the highway.the car on examination after the malfunction had a total of three broken coil strings (two front and one rear), and other damage to the suspension (two struts, and sway bars).vehicle was traveling on interstate highway at the time.operator was able to control vehicle and move to shoulder thus avoiding a major accident.vehicle had to be towed from shoulder.it appears these springs are defective.

The contact owns a 2009 nissan versa. The contact stated that the struts were prematurely wearing the tires. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that all four tires and struts needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. In addition, the contact discovered that the driver side coil spring fractured. The vehicle was unable to be driven and the part to repair the vehicle was ordered. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 37,000. Updated 4/20/15 updated 9/27/2017

I went to put my car into gear and i my front end dropped and i heard a metal hitting the road sound. I got out and saw by left front end had dropped 3-4 inches and a piece of my coil spring on the ground. I had to get the car towed and repaired for over $580. Thank god i wasn't driving 65 at the time.

I was pulling out of the driveway and heard a loud scratching noise and then my tire went flat.cut the inside of the tire.2 weeks later went to my mechanic for something else and he said the rear spring was broke and so was the other front.grateful that nothing happened while driving at higher speed

Both front coil springs on the 2009 nissan versa snapped.thought this was highly unlikely and just bad luck. However after some searching i found that many nissan versa owners have had the exact same trouble, and have been told by their dealers that they were unaware of a problem. The car is driven back and forth to work on city streets and not on bad or dirt roads. It has not been subject to any heavy transport. Both springs broke off at the bottom of the spring, where most other people have described as their break points.

Vehicle wanders at speeds above roughly 45 mph. Wandering is severe at speeds above 60 mph.

The contact owns a 2009 nissan versa. The contact stated that there was an abnormal noise coming from the vehicle. In addition, the front and rear coil springs fractured.the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who replaced the passenger side front coil spring, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the independent mechanic who replaced the front driver side coil spring. On another occasion, the contact heard an abnormal noise coming from the rear of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who indicated that the rear coil springs needed to be replaced. The contact later received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 15v573000 (suspension) and was concerned that the recall remedy would fail to repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 25,985. Parts distribution disconnect. Updated 02/05/16*lj

I was routinely pulling into my driveway, and i heard a single ping/knock sound, immediately followed by a grinding noise, coming from the front right of the car. The car instantly became difficult to maneuver. Upon immediate inspection, i could see that the lower part of the coil spring had broken cleanly. The remaining portion of the spring had come away from the metal restraining plate, and was extending against the inside top part of the tire. The metal did not puncture the tire, but it is significantly indenting the rubber. The car is not driveable. Furthermore, the left coil spring, in the same relative place, shows significant corrosion, and does not look safe for driving.coil springs are expected to last the lifetime of a car-- especially one well cared for and driven in almost ideal conditions, like mine. I have never had a coil spring break on me. This is no coincidence, as the second one appears to be faulty as well.i can only feel grateful that this didn't happen while i was driving with my family on the highway. Has this occurred on the highway, the tire would have surely blown out, and i would have lost control of the vehicle. Nissan needs to step up and recall these springs before someone loses their life!i will need to have my suspension repaired, as well as possibly my front right tire. I wholly expect nissan to pick up the tab for this.

Pulling out of parking lot after work and heard a loud clunk from front of car. Right side of care was sitting lower then left side, mechanic said spring broke. Same thing happened 2 weeks ago to other side of car and had that front spring and strut replaced and car aligned. If this is happening frequently, why no recall.will have the rear coil springs checked when i get the car inspected but after these 2 repair bills and of course my warrantly had run out and i did not extend. Who would think that a care i bought new, well maintained and with only 22000 miles would have this happen.

As i was driving, at 40 mph i heard a loud noise i pulled over to the side of the road and i see a piece of my spring on the road i had my vehicle towed to a shop and i am told that i need both front springs replaced, and ball joints please note the ball joints were just done so i am concerned if the spring coil had anything to do with this issue, there was no rust on or near the spring and prior to this breaking, the vehicle was driving to its normal standards.

Loud clunking/popping noise coming from front of car while driving.

After smelling rubber burning and the car not handling correctly.i checked the suspension to find both coil springs (passenger and drivers side) were broken.the drivers sidebroken coil was applying pressure to the inside wall of the tire wearing a large groove in the entire diameter of the tire.this could have cause serious injury and must be addressed by nissan and or the supplier of the springs.the repair was expensive (coil, struts and a tire).

I was backing my car out of my driveway when i heard a loud sound.nothing external caused this - i did not hit anything, run over anything, etc. After the incident the front end of the car was much lower than it was previously. I also actually found a piece of the strut spring on my driveway.

Coil springs corrosion and binding

While traveling at low speed, under 25 miles per hour, on a smoothly paved road, i heard a loud bang followed by a rattling sound in the left front wheel well. After pulling over i found a part of a coil spring in the road. After looking at the coil spring in the wheel well i noticed that the end was broken and jagged and matched the broken piece of coil that was left on the road. I do not drive off road and have maintained my vehicle well. There was no indication that there was a problem with this coil prior to the break.

2009 nissan versa hatchback with 50825 miles.front passenger suspension coil (spring) broke off while driving.very loud clang/bang sound. Didn't know what happened. Stopped vehicle and did not see anything obvious. When home in garage, upon closer inspection, noticed that the front passenger side coil had broken off. It appeared to have rust on it.i read numerous complaints online regarding same issue online. This is appears to be a defective part and a safety concern that should require a recall.cost to replace both front coils = $550.

Put car in gear and started to pull away from parking spot. Drove maybe 100 yards and heard a loud bang. I pulled over and looked around. Noticed part of a coil spring laying on the ground. Looking at the car it was obvious it was from mine. Took it to the local nissan dealer and they looked over car. Said that they have not seen this happen before and it should never happen. After looking over information on my car and seeing i had the extended warranty they told me i needed a new strut and spring as well as an alignment. Nissan would help with the cost of the strut but not the spring or alignment. How is this possible when the failure is caused by a coil spring breaking. A part that should never break. Service advisor said spring broke because of a little rust spot on it. Someone needs to explain to me how cars from the 50's have rusty coil springs that don't snap but a 2009 versa has a rust spot and it snaps off. This matter needs to be addressed by nissan. There maybe only a few complaints on here about it but google "09 nissan versa coil spring" and you will find tons of complaints of this exact thing happening to the left front coil spring. Seems odd that its always the front left.

Driver side rear coil spring broke

This is second incident in within 3 months period. September of 2014, i went back in for a new oil change & tire rotation. When mechanic was rotating tire, the front left coil spring just snapped right in front of his eyes. Car still drive-able, but is costly to replace. I have a limited income. Now, this seems to be an extreme problem with nissan versa. This needs to be put in as a recall and they should be footing the bill for their errors, not us , the trusting consumer.

The contact owns a 2009 nissan versa. While turning the vehicle out of a parking spot, the contact detected a noise coming from the front passenger side of the vehicle. The vehicle was serviced per nhtsa campaign number: 15v573000 (suspension), but the remedy failed to repair the vehicle. The contact mentioned that the coil spring fractured after the recall repair. The vehicle was taken to walser nissan burnsville (14750 buck hill rd, burnsville, mn 55306, (612) 395-4984) where it was diagnosed that the coil spring needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 81,000.

Driver side front coil spring broke while driving, rubbing front tire, towed to nissan dealer 07-31-15 - tamaroff nissan - southfield, mi. Car has only slightly more than 25,000 miles, asked nissan dealership if this was a recall or an issue part, they said no, and that this repair was not covered, i asked that it be referred to nissan corporate customer service, which they did.i did not hear back from nissan corp. Customer service until 08-14-15 noting the coil spring replacement was not covered, and that my request was denied.i again asked that it be escalated to the next supervisor level for review.as of this date my car is still at the dealership.

My wife had just backed out of the driveway and started driving down our road. Just as she started she heard a loud noise and the car steering became difficult. There is a service station 1/8th mile from our house. She drove the car extremely slowly (5mph) to the station and had the mechanic check the car. The mechanic turned the steering wheel and one of the front suspension shock absorber springs fell out of the car - broken into two pieces. It had fatigued and catastrophically failed.the mechanic informed her that she was very lucky this did not happen when she was driving normal speed as it could have sliced the tire and caused a blow out at high speed. I called nissan consumer affairs to report the incident and they informed me there was no recall for this issue and that since the car was no longer under warranty the repair cost was my responsibility.it cost approx $650 to replace both front suspension units.

The contact owns a 2009 nissan versa. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for an oil change. The mechanic informed the contact that the rear lower control arms were fractured due to corrosion and needed replacement. The contact also stated that the front lower control arms were replaced by an independent mechanic on september 29, 2015, which became a recall in 2015. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and issued case number: 32820454. The vehicle was not repaired for the recent failure. The approximate failure mileage was 93,000.

We were driving on the garden state parkway doing 65 mph when the front passenger side coil spring broke and punctured the passenger side tire causing a blowout. Luckily i was able to maneuver the car onto the shoulder without causing an accident, but the outcome could have easily been different. At the time i didn't know it was the coil spring, i just thought i ran over something on the highway. It wasn't until i got to a service shop that i learned that it was the coil spring that caused the blowout. Open inspection we saw that the bottom of the spring had just broken clean off. There was no rust any where near where the spring broke. I've done some research on this problem and it's entirely too common for cars that have under 100k miles and are 5 years old or less. My car had 68,432 miles on it when the spring broke and this is something that should not have happened. Of the 159 nhtsa complaints for the 2009 versa 58 of them are for the coil springs breaking. That?s almost 1/3 of all the complaints and this isn't just a problem for the 2009 model year. Based on the complaints, this has apparently been an ongoing problem with the versa from when it was introduced to the 2011 model year. Who knows how many vehicles had this problem and the owners never bothered to file a complaint. I would like to know what is being done about this because there seems to be some sort of engineering defect with the coil springs.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Brought my car in for recalls an dealership decided to break my car an not notify about breakking other parts there were not recalled an i need a lf sway bar link rf ball joint an couple other parts they broke my rf sway bar link an never told me when i called 4 times that day. I explained what happened to dealership an cooperate an now my car is not driveable because it is highly unsafe an im very pissed i have a 8 month old baby with medical problems an cant use my car

My passenger side front spring broke and speared my tire, luckily while i was parking. When i got it towed to the mechanic, they showed me that the left spring was cracked and ready to break as well. I had to pay to have both replaced. Mechanic informed me that this is a known issue. I'm very concerned that this might happen again while i'm driving with my 8 year old in the car.

Left front coil spring snapped and is hitting left front tire. Car worked fine on friday. Went out to garage sat. Morning to run errands and when i pulled out of the garage i heard a strange noise. Parked it and called my brother who came to look at it and noticed the snapped coil spring hitting the tire. Car is going to the repair shop this afternoon and expect at least a $350.00 charge. I went online and saw many complaints on this same issue and apparently nissan has not issued a recall. I just thank god it was parked and i wasn't driving it.

I was taking a right hand turn after a stop sign in a department store parking lot.i heard a loud popping noise stop to check it out. And there was a half moon shaped piece of coil from my driver side suspension laying on the ground.

Left front coil spring snapped. Car was undriveable and was towed to nissan dealer.(then april 28, 2015 right front coil spring snapped and burst the tire, had to be towed again to nissan dealer and repaired.) will make another claim on that spring as well.)this is going to catch up to nissan eventually.

The contact owns a 2009 nissan versa. While driving at 15 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the suspension failed. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, but was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 35,200.

Left front coil spring broke. Car was parked in garage and when it was started in order to pull out of the garage, my boyfriend found an 8 inch portion of the coil spring - the bottom part of driver's side spring that sits in the saddle of strut, on the garage floor.

A large piece of the front coil spring on the passenger side broke and fell off on the road, as i backed out of my driveway and turned into the street.i heard a clunk in the front and something falling on the road.the remaining spring on the car was still in place.i had my repair shop replace the springs.

Front right coil spring snapped. I was traveling on a smooth highway with no bumps or turns at the time. Almost caused my family to get into an accident and could have ruptured the tire causing further damage, which was the case for many other people.upon researching the problem i have discovered a high volume of similar complaints with the same exact vehicle in the northern parts of the united states.i assume this has to do with the salt they use on the roads in the winter causing rapid erosion.my mechanic says this shouldn't happen this early in a car's life.other car companies, such as ford, have had similar issues and did issue a recall.it is clearly a safety issue which could cause a fatal accident if not addressed.

Suspension & bushing { cracked rubber } when taken in for front coil spring recall.

My car is under 100,000 miles and failed inspection due to sub frame bushing missing. The mechanic told me these parts usually last for up to 200,000 miles. He also told me my tire could've come right off the car with this part missing.this could've cause a major accident or fatality! can you please look into this. I've down some research and have found lots of versas from 2007-2009 models have been having the same problems.

While driving at approximately 35 mph, the front right strut snapped. Less than 30,000 miles on the car. There were no potholes, ditches, or anything that could have caused this breakage. This could have caused a very serious accident..updated 11/03/14 updated 11/06/14

Both front springs shattered, and parts of the springs were loose around the struts and fell off the car.

Front driver side suspension spring broke when pulling out of driveway.there is no valid reason for a suspension spring to snap on a 2009 automobile.this caused damage to the tire.the cost to fix this issue is $700.00 for the spring and new tire.what would have happened had i been on the expressway driving at 65 mph?

Passenger side spring coil broke nearly 5 months after the driver side spring coil broke. See complaint from 7/31/13. Luckily, coil broke while backing out of drive way, so i did not lose control of vehicle. Broken part of coil is now pinched between coil seat and rest of coil leaving the remaining spring unseated. Car is undriveable in this condition for second time before 5 year loan is even paid off. Case opened with nissan, but they thus far have refused to pay diagnostic fee to confirm broken spring coil. Broken coil can be clearly seen in tire well. Diagnosis is required for any further action by nissan regarding repair reimbursement. Bad customer service.

Coil spring rusted and broke.

Nissan versa 2009 two (2) broke springs in less than 2 years.the second broke spring was the front left spring, it broke when making a left turn at about 5mph.

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.

I had the car in reverse to back out of garage and heard a grinding sound. I stopped to look at the car but didn't see anything obvious. I tried driving again but stopped after a few feet and called my mechanic. His garage is about a half mile away so i tried to drive slowly there but suddenly there was a loud bang and the car felt like it hit the road on the right front side. The tire was flat. The diagnosis is a broken coil spring, which i have since learned is a common defect on the versa.

Part of the coil spring broke from my 2009 nissan versa and fell off in my driveway. When i explored where it had come from i realized that both front coil springs had snapped off at the bottom. The first piece of broken coil spring i did not realize had come off and the second one luckily broke off while in the driveway.

As i was driving, suddenly my tire blew. There was a load noise. I had to pull over right away. When we took the tire off there was a gash surrounding the entire tire. When i went to get new tires, i was told that the spring was broken and that it was the cause of my tire blowing. They said it was very unusual for a spring and strut to have to be replaced with my car being not that old with not that many miles on it.

I was leaving the driveway when i heard a crack or snap sound in the right front tire area.after inspection, the service tech said the right front or passenger suspension coil spring failed.this is my second incident. The drivers side also broke in 2014 while i was driving.

While travelling at speeds of 35-45 mph noticed smoke coming from vehicle (distance travelled 2.2 miles from origin). After noticing smoke, immediately proceeded to slow down in order to pullover to side of road. As soon as began to decelerate, heard a loud noise and the front of the car dropped - this was due to the tire failing. Once pulled over, was able to inspect and determine the front passenger side coil spring had failed and was contacting the tire. Failure point was approximately 9.25" (along outside edge) of the coil spring measured from the bottom of the coil.vehicle was towed to local dealer where all repairs were completed the same day of the event. Dealer referred to an ongoing nhtsa investigation related to this failure. Even though the vehicle is out of warranty the repairs were covered under warranty (goodwill) due to a likely upcoming recall.

Drove approximating 5 miles city driving good paved streets and felt something not right with suspension. Inspected suspension parts after reaching my destination to find a broken right front coil spring. Vehicle is in excellent condition and no signs of rust on any parts. This spring broke in the bottom coil.

2009 nissan versa hatchback less than a month the alignment needed fixing the car pulls to both sides. The beginning it goes to the left then putting the car back straight it goes to the right. It gets worse when the car goes over 40 miles per hour.

The contact owns a 2009 nissan versa. While driving 15 mph, the vehicle made a clunking noise and began to swerve. The contact pulled the vehicle over and noticed that the front driver side frame was closer to the tire than normal. The contact took the vehicle to a certified mechanic who diagnosed that the front driver and passenger side coil springs were fractured and detached. The coil springs and struts were replaced.

My nissan versa's front left passenger tire was losing air every few days. When i took it to an auto shop nearby, they found that the aluminum valve stem has cracked and that's what is causing the leak. This faulty valve stem could have lead to tire failure and potentially serious accident. Please advise how to go about addressing this issue.

Car tired keep deflating every 2-3 days. Three times stuck at different places unable to move my car, until my husband get there to inflate the tired. I have being told is the sensor valve for the tire which control the tpms system. I call the dealer in laurel and they charge 265.00 for that, but many of the same car, had that problem and file a recall.this can cause an accident.

The tire pressure sensor system in the nissan versa appears to have a systemic fault of constant leaking.i live in wisconsin (salt in winter) and i am now forced to replace the tire pressure sensor system for the second time at a cost of $180 per tire.it appears to wear out every 2 years, leading to leaking of the tire, causing an unsafe situation.

Repeated flat tires due to air leaks which resulted in finally discovering the tire pressure monitoring valves on 3 of 4 tires were faulty.these valves were $150 each which is more than the tires cost! when took in for repairs, was told that the valves are made of metal which is prone to rust especially where they are located in the tire wells.appears to be faulty engineering.claim by repair personnel that a valve less likely to rust would be best but no valve available that will also meet nissan requirements to provide tire sensor information back to the computer signal.was told that if the sensors were not replaced could have unexpected flats or be dangerous to drive.i drive over 60 miles a day for work so safety is a concern.there needs to be an investigation about need for recall.

Valve stem in rear passenger tire failed resulting in slow leak.required replacement of the valve stem including the tire pressure monitoring system device in wheel.

Tires kept on going flat.no leaks found.reocuring problem.had the valve stems replaced and the problem was fixed.

2009 nissan versa. The tpms "tire pressure monitoring system" the valve stems on all four tires was either cracked and / or defective, two were leaking air so badly i had to fill them back up with air every day> i thought i had driven over some nails that made them leak air. When i went to get them checked, i was shocked to find out it was the valve stems that was causing the problem. I had to replace them with rubber valve stems. Dealership was closed and going to call them about it. But don't think they are covered. Just glad i didn't have a blow out or sudden lose of air that could have caused me to wreck. This doesn't seem to be an isolated problem and the dealer should have a recall on faulty equipment.

I have had issues with the low-tire sensor since shortly after purchasing my 2009 nissan versa.i kept taking it to the local dealer and they would get it to go off but told me that it was not covered under warranty after 12,000 miles.so i would take my car to a local tire company and they worked on it a few times.when i needed new tires, they replaced all my tires with new ones, and even serviced the pressor sensors.within 1/2 day of driving off with new tires, the sensor came back on.it has been on since.this system could save lives if we didn't have to ignore them so much!!!don't get me wrong, i love my versa.i would rather it had a reliable tire pressure sensing system.

We have had nothing but trouble with tire sensor on the nissan versa. One has been removed because it is cracked and another one is failing. What happens is the tires loose an extreme amount of air because of this failure and could cause a catastrophe. We were told by nissan that this is not covered under warranty but we would be glad to order 2 new sensors for approximately $300.00. That price is more than the tires are worth and we replaced the stems with standard ones and our light for tire sensor still is on and i am constantly checking the other 2 tires to see if a dangerous situation is developing.

The tpms is leaking on my 2009 nissan versa.losing tire pressure.

I have had three tire air pressure sensor valves fail on three different tires since i bought my 2009 nissan versa in february 2009. Two kept losing air and triggering the light in my dashboard more frequently until it was every 2 or so days and i had it replaced with a plain valve till i could get to nissan for a replacement. The other was suddenly almost flat and i had the valve replaced.the first time this happened, the dealership service said there was no problem, maybe it was the weather, even though only one tire was losing pressure every 2 days. I have changed dealerships and they have replaced 2, and i will be bringing in the third. All were originally diagnosed and had plain valves replaced at my local tire store. When will the fourth go, and will it kill me or someone else? are the replacements any better than the originals? i'm afraid to drive my new car.

I bought my car brand new in may 2009.in the midst of a harsh winter, we noticed that our tire was going flat and the tpms light was on.we bought a new tire and the same thing happened.it was discovered that the tpms gauge was cracked and leaking air.after research i found that nissan recalled several vehicles for this exact problem.because my nissan versa was not part of the recall, they refused to cover it.the gauge needs to be replaced and it cannot be driven safely without it.

The contact owns a 2009 nissan versa. The contact stated that the speed sensors for the tires failed to work and there was a loss of tire pressure frequently. The tpms warning light flashed numerous times. The vehicle was repaired twice by a mechanic who replaced the sensors on the front driver side wheels twice, but the failure continued and the tpms warning light continued to flash. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and recommended that the vehicle be taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing. The approximate failure mileage was 10,000.

The low tire pressure light came on and when i checked i found a tire that was down 15lbs. I dropped it off at the dealer who said the tpms unit was cracked and needed to be replaced for $218.the tire only has 8,000 miles on it. Will i have to replace the other three sensors?

Rear hatchback button is not opening the hatchback.this is a safety issue because the spare tire is located in the cargo area.this one day at approximately 45,000 miles stopped working

Takata recall and unknown

Takata recallpassenger airbag one on recall list, possibly driver's is not safe according to the safety of safecar..government dad 81 has to sit in back and my side could hurt or kill me!

There is a recall on nissan versa coil springs. My spring broke while driving vehicle on a busy road prior to the recall. I had both springs replaced due to excessive rusting (reason for recall). Upon recall... Dealer notified me. Said the springs must be replaced again by a nissan dealer. They quoted a price of $490 to me saying that the current springs are in good shape, but stripped bolts due to prior replacement. Not only do they not reimburse the additional $490 for the replacement... That must be paid up front prior to requesting the coil spring reimbursement they say that the current springs are fine... And that the stripped bolts do not cause any problems.... Other than doing the replacement, which is unnecessary!!!! why are they charging me for a reimbursement.... The way i see it, they are making money off a recall.... Not exactly the way this is meant to work... I nearly wreck my car due to defective equipment and later having a recall on that defective equipment, money is required from the consumer. No.....

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.

The trunk of the nissan versa hatchbatch is keyless and will not open upon unlocking the car doors.

Before we can get the car fixed while the airbag recall was in effect, while driving the car caught on fire.

Takata recall

Two flat tires on separate wheels within a week, both due to cracked tire pressure monitors.

The contact owns a 2009 nissan versa. The contact stated that after coming to a stop, the vehicle hesitated to accelerate further. The failure recurred on an intermittent basis. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, where they were unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 24,000.

Vehicle accelerates to a high speed with slight tap or will not accelerate at all.

While driving in town my 2009 nissan versa hatchback lost power, couldn't accelerate and panel idiot lights came on.i was able to pull over safely.i tried restarting it but nothing.about 15 minutes later, i tried again and several times it almost started but died out.had to get car towed.when tow truck driver got in vehicle it started for him and kept running so he drove it onto the tow truck and took it to the garage.the technician scan teste on board computer, all sensors and sensor string, up to 1/2 hour diagnostic time check performance of sensors, check fuel delivery system.pressure test steady 50 psi, road tested 14 miles to verify or additional needed repairs. Codes set. No codes. Couldn't find anything. Car running fine.additional notes:vehicle has approx. 70,000 mi.always keep half to full tank of gas and serviced.this is not good! fear that the car can just quit at any time and can possibly be in an accident.

Sudden, unexplained acceleration from 40 to 60mph. Car was unresponsive to braking.

The contact owns a 2009 nissan versa. The contact stated that while driving 40 mph, the vehicle decelerated without manual force. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis but they were unable to duplicate the problem. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 63,000.

Throttle is impaired; p2138very dangerous when acceleratingacross traffic and suddenly there is only partial throttle command.this now has happened twice.

I own a 2009 nissan versa. The window wipers are designed such that the driver's side wiper blade is '2x' the passenger blade.when using the wipers (rain or cleaning the windows) the driver's side blade throws water on to the passenger side and as the passenger side blade has already completed its swing thus the passenger side window in never clear of water, when driving the water builds up on the passenger side faster than the wiper can clean it due to the extra water from the driver's side wiper (for me this is right in my field of vision).this causes a problem because i can not see traffic coming out of the side street on the right.when you clean the window the only way to clean the passenger side is to run the wipers dry after you are done to finish the passenger's side.i brought this up to the dealer and the nissan district manager charles rice; his comment was this is how it is designed.to me this is an unsafe design, you need to be able to see out the passenger side of the car when it is raining.

The contact owns a 2009 nissan versa. The contact stated that the heater in his vehicle stopped functioning and he could not defrost the windows. The dealer informed him that the resistor that controlled the fan failed. The dealer ordered the part; however, it was on a nation wide back order. The vehicle had not been repaired to-date. He called the manufacturer who confirmed that the part was still on back order. The current mileage was approximately 11,000. The failure mileage was approximately 8,500.updated 2/1/10 updated 02/02/10.

The contact owns a 2009 nissan versa. While driving approximately 55 mph, the rear defroster button failed and the contact was unable to see out the rear window. The failure occurred on multiple occasions. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the rear defroster button needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 15,000.

I had replaced 3 of 4 tpms since i owned the car and the sensors were cracked and leaking air not from the valve stem but the actual sensor itself the repair shop stated to me.

Coil spring on passenger front side snapped and damaged the tire to bring a complete flat tire while driving.

Valve stem in rear passenger tire failed resulting in slow leak.required replacement of the valve stem including the tire pressure monitoring system device in wheel.

I went out to start my car back in march and saw that i had a flat tire. I thought it was a routine flat tire until i went to get the car repaired and they billed me for $1500 & explained how my struts on my front wheels busted so bad that it was pushing on my tires puncturing the front passenger tire. They went on to explain further how i must have hit something extremely hard b/c those are very difficult to break. Since there was nothing but the occasional bump in the road i hit i realized that something had to be wrong with the strut and springs. This complaint is motivated by the fact that my struts and springs could have broken during my routine trips on the highway between bloomington and indianapolis. If they would have broke at that time while traveling between 50-70 mph i would have been in a high speed accident that could very easily have taken my life or the others around me.
