“My front left suspension coil just broke while driving over a sewer cover on a side street. The front left end of my car dropped a not and a metal piece of coil flew out from the bottom of my car which I recovered. I see this is an issue that had a recall, also never got the airbag recalled.”
NHTSA complaint #11219535, filed 2019-06, 71,639 miles“I was driving out of a parking lot at 10 MPH and heard a loud pop sound coming from the passengers side front wheel area and smelled burning rubber. I pulled over and noticed a 360 degree gash in the front passenger tire sidewall. I took the tire off and noticed the suspension spring was broken and was scraping the sidewall of the tire.”
NHTSA complaint #10725002, filed 2015-06, 41,000 miles“My front coil spring broke while driving; very dangerous. I had it towed to a local mechanic. It is still in the shop. Tonight I found your recall website and learned the front coil springs are listed for recall. I never received notification from Nissan about the recall. I suspect they are not notifying customers.”
NHTSA complaint #10820321, filed 2016-01, 38,000 miles“Left front drivers side of vehicle was making a crunching sound while driving on interstate 81. When I got to work, I looked up the problem online, and discovered it was the same issue that 2010 Nissan Versa vehicles are having.(coil springs) took it to a mechanic on 5/20/15, and the mechanic identified the problem as a broken coil spring in the front end. Replaced the broken spring.”
NHTSA complaint #10724849, filed 2015-06, 61,014 miles“Passenger side front coil spring broke while driving on a paved road in town. There is a known issue with these springs, and a recall in place, but my state is not covered by the recall (even though our roads are salted in nebraska also). The coil rubbed on the tire, ruining it as well.”
