The particulars: - brought my vehicle into a Nissan dealership on 25-Jan-2019 to have them handle work related to their air-bag recall - Nissan also had a recall program relative to its front-end suspension springs, https://static.NHTSA.gov/ODI/rcl/2015/rclrpt-15V573-4667.pdf - on 21-August-2018, one of my suspension coils had completely eroded and the other coil was close to fully eroding. Thankfully, the worn-out coils were noticed while the car was not on any roadway. - 8/21/2018 was a Tuesday. My supervisor was fine in allowing me to work remotely then while an independent mechanic made the necessary repairs, relative to NHTSA 15V-573. - when I had set up my appointment with the dealership in mid-Dec., 2018 (for 1/25/19), I was told by the Nissan on-site representative that reimbursement for my upfront expenses tied to the work on the suspension-coil (NHTSA) recall should not be a problem. It was just her location could not facilitate the reimbursement. Fiscals are handled by Nissan's corporate office. - on 25-Jan-2019, the Nissan mechanics took photos of the new coils, in order for the Nissan corporate office to have that proof. - alas, after a series of emails (which I all have) and phone calls with Nissan's corporate office, they chose to deny me any reimbursement for a manufacturer defect, per NHTSA's 15V-573. - so, Nissan's defect and recall has me out of > $1,100, thus costing me for their defect! - their internal call-center, based in 0ntari0, closed case on 2/11/19, when Nissan's corporate office told me they could not make reimbursement because the independent mechanic did not have the word, "coil" written on the work order / receipt! - Nissan sent me, the customer, into minion mode with their defect. It is not existing car owners' faults Nissan cannot get new owners to make their payments! this fleecing must not happen!

Recently my wife was driving her car (2010 Nissan Versa) and the front right coil spring snapped. She was driving at about 20mph on a straight paved road. There were no potholes on this road when this occurred. The result was it gouging out the right passenger side tire. Since she was traveling at a slow speed and was vigilant enough to see smoke and stop before the tire was blown out. After doing some research I found that the coil spring breaking was an issue for 07-12 Nissan verses. But when calling Nissan about the problem. I was told that my car wasn't covered even tho it is registered in one of the "salt belt states".

Leaving work today I noticed a loud clunk from the front end of my car at around 10 mph. Upon inspection I found that the front passenger coil spring was completely corroded and broken. Calling the Nissan dealership I was informed that there is a voluntary recall involving this exact situation but that the recall does not apply to me since I live in a state not listed. I live in a county in Kansas that borders Missouri. I also work in Missouri and the vast majority of my driving is in Missouri but this did not matter to Nissan and I was informed that I would still be responsible for the repairs. How is this fair? corrosion is corrosion, especially when it is a known defect. This could have killed me or someone else.

This is a 2010 Nissan Versa. I bought the car brand new. Has 35K miles on it. Already replaced transmission in 2013. Have had numerous tire issues that the mechanics can't seem to figure out, when I take it to the dealer, they want to charge high dollars and the issue still exists. Today while backing straight out of my driveway I heard a huge bang followed by the car not moving forward or backwards. My neighbor came out and informed me that the ball joint on the right front passenger side had snapped. He also indicated that this shouldn't happen to a car from 2010 and with such low mileage. This car has been a nightmare and money pit.

My front coil spring broke on me. I inspected it and it clearly looks like rust damage from lack of rust protectant. I saw there is a huge recall to the front coil springs of Nissan Versas and the only reason my vehicle did not qualify is because somehow the NHTSA doesn't consider Nebraska a 'winter state'. we have winter weather just like other states that were included in the recall(Iowa, Missouri) and our state does use plenty of salt on our roads. It seems completely ridiculous that my car wouldn't qualify because I'm in Nebraska and not Iowa or Missouri. The fact that I had to spend almost $1K to fix this doesn't make any sense when the manufactuer's defect is clearly the cause. Also, it felt incredibly dangerous when this broke on me. I was driving and almost lost control of the vehicle completely. I felt lucky I even made it home and to the dealership for repairs.
