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. Updated 7/21/15 the muffler, tire pressure sensor, blower motor and battery were replaced. The coil springs and tire pressure sensors were replaced more than once. Updated 07/30/15

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.
