Driver side rear coil spring broke
The coil springs that nissan installed in my car due to the 2015 recall have, now, both broken again. this is a major safety issue. nissan consumer affairs refuses to help me with the cost of replacing these faulty parts because they are 'out of warranty!' i have been dealing with this issue since 2012 when the first coil spring broke, punctured my tire, and almost caused a serious accident. the car was in motion when the most recent break happened, i was turning out of my alley way onto the road.

While driving in the freeway and on the street several occasions, my car was feeling as if it was going to die on me with low power. i felt really unsafe. one day, i was driving, the car was too weak, i decided to drive it directly to nissan dealership in cerritos because i knew that was it, i was going to definetly be stranded. i was there for about 5 hours and finally i was told that the coil needed replacement. less than a year, i was told the coil needed to be replaced again. i recently saw on kelly blue book website that the coil is a recall. i notified the dealer and i am told that it is not a recall.

I live in the kansas city metro, on the kansas side, less than 10 minutes from the border to missouri. there is a current recall that applies to the front coil springs of nissan versas (nhtsa recall 17v-637) because the springs have insufficient corrosion coating. this current recall applies to missouri but not kansas. i drive my car in missouri all the time because of my proximity to missouri and my husband is employed in missouri. my front, right coil spring broke on march 17, 2018. the coil spring broke when backing out of my parking spot at my apartment in a lot that is relatively new and flat, meaning no pot holes. a loud bang was heard and when moving there was a loud creaking sound. after pulling out about 3 feet i pulled back in and turned the car off. i found a round metal object on the ground near the front with rust on it. it was flat on one end and broken on the other. after inspecting the front passenger side's wheel well i discovered that the remaining part of the coil spring had slipped off the strut lip and part of the coil was pressing ...

We took our nissan versa into tynan's nissan (780 s havana st, aurora, co 80012) for the recall on the coil springs. after they replaced the coil springs on our low mileage nissan versa, the ball joint on the passenger side failed within 10 miles of them replacing the coil springs for the recall. when this happened it put my amanda and our child in danger. luckily they are safe and unharmed. jason at tynan's nissan service department initially apologized and said they would take care of everything and gave us a loaner vehicle, now 3 days later they are trying changing their story and trying to make us pay for the damage they caused during the recall repair. there is no way that a passenger side ball joint would coincidentally break on a low mileage car immediately after coil spring replacement unless they did something wrong to the vehicle to cause it. tynan's nissan is either not doing the recall repairs properly, or they purposely damaged our car for the purpose of taking our money. either way we feel they should no longer be allowed to do recall repairs if they cannot do them without causing damages. ...
I have 2 problems. the first is nissan claims to not support recalls on my vehicle because it has a salvage title. the second is that i was not informed of a recall on this vehicle for over 2 years. in 2015 i had a front suspension coil spring fracture. i thought this was unusual and went to the local dealer and bought an oem replacement coil and replaced the broken spring myself. in 2017 both other coil spring failed as well as the replacement i had bought from the dealer in 2015. at this point i researched the problem on the internet and discovered the recall on this part. i replaced the failed springs with aftermarket parts to get the car back on the road. i then submitted paperwork to nissan for reimbursement of the replacement parts. i was just informed by nissan that they will reimburse me for the cost because i have a salvage title. i am not aware that a salvage title removes the manufacturer from the responsibility for replacement parts. my other concern is that i was not informed about the recall in a timely manner. i ...
