2009 Nissan Versa Brakes Problems

“Driving along, heard a loud pop as I turned onto a major roadway. The car was pulling very badly to the left side and could barely stop the vehicle. Had to have the car towed home and the struts replaced on the car. After doing some research this seems to be a common and very costly issue. I was quoted $930 to have this issue resolved. Not a happy Nissan owner.”

“The coil spring broke on the passenger side of the car ripping into the tire, while I was driving. The car's steering was immediately affected and so were the brakes, since the broken spring ripped the brake line. I broke down in an underpass and had to call the police since we were placed in a dangerous spot with cars speeding by. I did not expect this for a car that is 6 years old! From what I have read so far this seems to be a prevalent problem with Nissan versus and it seems that the dealers are not taking any action.”

“I was driving in the middle lane on the highway in a rainy morning and saw the car in front of me putting on brakes. I put on the brakes (pretty hard but not all the way through, 70%). Instead of slowing down, the car started to make a sharp turn to the right lane, then swirled back to the middle line and to left line, and spun into a 8 shape facing the oncoming traffic and spun across the right line and threw itself in the ditch. I went to Nissan dealership and asked them to check out the car. …”

“The brakes have been non-responsive three times on my 2009 Nissan Versa. When depressing the brakes - there is no response. Fortunately, when depressing the brakes a second time they respond. The first two times were at speeds below 20mph. Today the 26th of dec. 2008 the brakes were non-responsive (first push) at 50 MPH. On second push the car swerved first left then right - I took my foot off the brake and on the third push the car braked as expected. Having brakes be non-responsive at any time is obviously a problem. …”

“1st incident) I was driving on ice. I was going around 40 MPH and I started to slow down as I approached the stop sign about 100 yds from the intersection in rural indiana near warsaw, I applied a normal amount of pressure to the brake pedal(ABS kicked in) and the Versa wasn't slowing down like it should; I applied more pressure and still no significant drop in speed. I took me the full 100 yds to stop the vehicle and I went past the stop sign by 15 or 20 feet before fully stopping. 2nd incident-same day) I was driving approximately 20 MPH on a city street in downtown fort wayne, in. …”
