Versa

  • 101,000 miles
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 the back 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.

Versa

  • 3,000 miles
The contact owned a 2009 Nissan Versa. The contact stated that while driving 33 mph, another vehicle traveling approximately 60 mph crashed into her vehicle head on. As a result, the rear passenger seat became unbolted from the floor and the seat belt sliced through the passenger seated in that seat. The driver also suffered serious injuries. The driver and passenger were taken to a hospital to treat their serious injuries. The vehicle was destroyed and towed to an insurance lot. The manufacturer examined the vehicle and stated that the failure was the result of the high speed crash. The failure mileage was 3,000. The VIN was unavailable.
