All of a sudden LF coil spring broke while going over a rough road patch. Never ever had this problem in any other car. Was replaced under warranty.

A coil spring that breaks for no reason. Wow, never see that.

Front coil spring is broken. We live just outside of Philadelphia and have never had this happen to any of our cars. Usually the spring should last the life of the car. This is a flaw in the design or material/thickness used. In the past year I have had 2 failed TPMS sensors ~$250 each, 1 Alternator ~460 and now this at $360. Nissans are made to break after 100k miles.

2009 Altima had two broken springs replaced on two separate occasions. My mechanic said he couldn't believe it, had never seen it before. Not the dealer, he said I would had to hit a hell of a pothole, which I didn't. Very cautious driver. Contacted dealer they told me they couldn't do anything about it since I didn't bring it to them for repair. It wasn't driveable either time. No reimbursement even though it was under warranty
