2008 Nissan Versa WHEELS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN VERSA. WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN INTO THE DRIVEWAY, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL DETACHED AND BECAME LODGED IN THE TIRE WELL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 86,000.

FRONT COIL SPRING FELL OUT FROM UNDER THE CAR AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. IF I WAS GOING ANY FASTER IT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS IF IT PUNCTURED A WHEEL.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN SUDDENLY ONE OF MY HUB CAPS CAME OFF. NEXT WEEK, I WAS DRIVING AGAIN AND MY OTHER HUB CAP ON THE SAME SIDE CAME OFF. THIS CANNOT BE A COINCIDENCE. I KNOW SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE NISSAN VERSA'S AND THEY ALSO ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

WHEEL COVERS ON THE 2008 NISSAN VERSA DO NOT EVER SEAT PROPERLY ON THE OEM RIMS CAUSING THE WHEEL COVERS TO FLY OFF THE RIM WHEN DRIVING 50+MPH. *TR

HUBCAPS FLY OFF. MANY COMPLAINTS ON INTERNET FORUMS. I SEE A LOT OF VERSAS ON THE STREET MISSING HUBCAPS. *TR

2008 NISSAN VERSA HUBCAPS HAS FLOWN AWAY WHILE CRUISING IN HIGHWAY AT 60-65 MPH. THIS HAPPENED TWICE ALREADY. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I BROUGHT THE CAR TO SERVICE CENTER AND THEY CHECKED THE INSTALLATION AND EVERYTHING LOOKED OK. BOUGHT NEW HUBCAP AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN AFTER ~4 MONTHS. THIS IS POTENTIAL TO CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE AND DANGER TO OTHER VEHICLES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HUBCAPS WERE ONLY REMOVED BY THE DEALER WHEN THE TIRES WERE ROTATED. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE HUBCAP CAME OFF. HE APPROACHED THE DEALER FOR ASSISTANCE AND THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE THE TIRE; THEREFORE, THE CONTACT REPLACED IT AT HIS OWN EXPENSE. THE DEALER ONCE AGAIN ROTATED THE TIRES AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE HUBCAP CAME OFF. THE DEALER ONCE AGAIN REFUSED TO ASSIST HIM. THE CONTACT WROTE LETTERS TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST, INCLUDING THE MANUFACTURER. THE DEALER LATER OFFERED HIM ONE HUBCAP AS COMPENSATION.
