Example complaints

“My suspension spring snapped while pulling out of my driveway. This is a known problem with Nissan versas. I have contacted Nissan na and my local dealer and there is no current recall. I replaced both springs and they were both rusted and flawed. Luckily I wasn't traveling on the highway at the time, or it could have been a lot worse. I encourage those who have similar experiences to contact Nissan and file complaints both with the na office and NHTSA.”
