2007 Nissan Versa Suspension

WHILE PULLING AWAY FROM A PARKED POSITION IN OUR DRIVEWAY, THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT COIL SPRING BROKE. THE REMAINING LARGER PORTION OF THE SPRING WAS NOW RUBBING AGAINST THE INSIDE WALL OF THE FR TIRE. THE JAGGED EDGE WAS CLOSER TO THE ENGINE SIDE, FORTUNATELY. THE SMALLER BROKEN PIECE WAS ON THE GROUND, SHAPED LIKE A HALF CIRCLE. THERE WAS NO RUST ON EITHER SPRING PIECE. *TR

CAR JUST SEEMED TO BE LEANING ON THE LEFT SIDE,ALSO FOUND THAT THE RIDE WAS VERY ROUGH. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY FOUND THAT THE LEFT COIL SPRING AND SWAY BAR WERE SNAPPED IN HALF. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT SPRING BROKE ON MY 2007 NISSAN VERSA. LUCKILY, I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY (ABOUT 30MPH) ON A QUIET ROAD (NO BIG POT HOLES OR BUMPS). I HEARD A HUGE POP AND THEN HAD TROUBLE STEERING. AFTER PULLING IT INTO A GAS STATION, I QUICKLY NOTICED THAT THE ENTIRE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WAS NEARLY RESTING ON MY FRONT TIRE. LUCKILY, THE TIRE WASN'T COMPROMISED BY THE SPRING/BODY. THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVABLE AND HAD TO BE TOWED. FROM MY KNOWLEDGE OF CARS, SPRINGS TEND TO LAST FOR THE LIFETIME (OR BEYOND) OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND UNEXPECTED. *TR

NOISY WORN FRONT STRUT BUSHINGS. *TR

NISSAN VERSA 2007 FRONT COIL SPRING SNAPPED. THE CAR WAS PARKED IN DRIVEWAY.AS WE BACKED UP HEARD LOUD CLUNCK PIECE OF COIL WAS ON GROUND. LUCKY TO BE IN DRIVEWAY AT TIME IT HAPPENED. TOOK CAR TO MONROES THE TRIED TO GET PART NO GOOD WENT TO DEALER. THEY FIRST SAID 2 DAYS TO GET PART . DID NOT HAPPEN. NOT THE PART HAS AN UNKNOWN ETA. NISSAN DEALER PARTS PERSON SAID THERE WE 584 COILS ON BACK ORDER. THIS PROBLEM SEEM TO BE METAL DEFECT WHEN THE SPRING WAS MADE. REALLY HARD TO BELIEVE NISSAN DOES NOT HAVE ANY IN STOCK.THEY ARE STILL PRODUCING VERSAS SO WHY NOT GET THE COIL SPRINGS FROM THE ASSEMBLY PLANT. IT IS COSTING A LOT OF MONEY TO RENTAL A VEHICAL WITH NO REPAIR IN SITE. MAYBE THIS NEED TO BE A RECALL ON THIS PART. I HAVE A PIECE OF THE COIL IF NEEDED FOR ANALIZING. THANKS *TR

LEFT FRONT COIL SPRING BROKE. CAR WAS PARKED IN GARAGE AND WHEN IT WAS STARTED IN ORDER TO BACK OUT OF THE GARAGE, THERE WAS A BANGING SOUND. I GOT OUT TO SEE IF I HAD HIT ANYTHING ON THE GARAGE AND FOUND A PIECE OF THE SPRING ON THE GARAGE FLOOR. SPRING WAS REPLACED. *TR

ABOUT APRIL 8 2007 9 DAYS WHILE PURCHASING THIS CAR I REPORTED A COMPLAINT TO THE LOCAL BAYRIDGE NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT ABOUT A CLUNKING AND KNOCKING NOISE IN THE FRONT END OF THE CAR AND FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL, THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 200 MILES AT THE TIME. AFTER AT LEAST 12/15 TRIPS TO VARIOUS SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR REPAIR ATTEMPTS,RIGHT AXLE, STRUTS, STRUT MOUNTS, STRUT BEARINGS ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE, THE PROBLEM WOULD NOT GO AWAY. THEY EVENTUALLY PLACED LARGE METAL WASHERS BETWEEN THE SUB FRAME AND CROSS BRACE SUPPORT BECAUSE THEY STATED THAT THE SUB FRAME BUSHINGS HAD SAGGED, OR WHERE IMPROPERLY INSTALLED AT THE MANUFACTURER. NOW THE STEERING FEELS LOOSE AND THE ONLY WAY I CAN DESCRIBE IT IS IT FEELS AS IF THE STEERING COLUMN IS SEPARATING WHEN TAKING TURNS OVER UNEVEN ROAD SURFACES.THEY HAVE CHANGED RIGHT AXLE MANY TIMES BUT NO USE , NISSAN NORTH AMERICA REPRESENTATIVE MR JUSTIN HALL REVIED CASE 3 TIMES COULD NOT FIX THE VEHICLE FROM HIS MECHANIC SEND BY NISSAN . THIS VEHICLE IS ADANGEROUS VEHICLE I HAVE NO OTHER MEANS TO AS I HAVE TRIED TWO 2 NISSAN SERVICE STATIONS AND NISSAN MECHANIC, STILL PROBLEM IS THERE 2 WEEKS BACK BRAKE SUDDENLY WENT DOWN I DROVE WITH OUT BRAKE FOR A WHILE, MY FAMILY TRAVELS IN THIS CAR. ANY INCIDENT / ACCIDENT DUE TO FAILURE OF THESE PARTS I WILL HELD NISSAN LIABLE. *TR
