Not sure of exact timing (approx April 2015) when I brought my car in for a regular service appointment, I was told that when they put the car on the lift, one coil spring fell off in two pieces - I was so fortunate that this happened at the dealership and not on the road! I was told that if it had happened while I was driving, it could have been disastrous. I replaced both springs at that time.

The front coil spring suddenly broke.

- Nepean, NY, USA

Thankfully I have not had an accident yet. However I am very concerned that both front coil springs are missing a chunk from the spring. This was discovered when I had my car in the shop for another issue on 6.12.15. I was informed at this time that with the chunks missing this could cause major issues if either of them pop out of their base. I had my car in for an oil change (at a neighbor's who is a mechanic) yesterday, 9.14.15. I informed him of what his referral guy said to me back in June, and after looking at my car he showed me exactly what the guy was talking about. He told me this was concerning, seeing as my car only has 77,000 miles on it. My rear suspension is acting up too, which may or may not be associated with this. I went to this site & noticed ironically that the front coil spring issues are under investigation at this point. I am trying to make a complaint considering I have one of these cars, which in my mind is no longer safe to drive. I fear, as others have had happen on here, that an accident may occur, with injuries to myself, anyone else in the car with me, or other passengers on the road. I am trying to be proactive on this, & am hoping something will be done to prevent any type of accident to occur again. Nissan should take responsibility for this & fix these immediately at their cost. They should've never put faulty parts on their cars to begin with. These are people's lives possibly at risk.

My car began to shimmy when stopping and I brought it to a mechanic who said the coil spring on the driver's side was broken and that they would be best replaced in pairs as the other side would not be long before it also broke causing a possible tragic accident. He advised me not to go far with the car before repairing them as a fatal accident could occur. At the bare minimum, the coil spring would go through my new tire and cause even more extensive damage to the car. My son owns a Versa as does my former husband and they both have had to replace their coil springs. I feel there must be some type of defect in this product. It seems far too coincidental. There have been 93 other reports as well. Nissan should issuue a recall immediately.

When going 75 miles an hour the right side front coil spring broke with a very loud noise pulled over to investigate found nothing looking at the tire. This happened just entering Arizona so since we couldn't see anything we continued on to pheonix to our destination. We then contacted www.honest1glendaleaz.com/ and had them investigate the problem because when going over any bump after that we could hear something loose. Once they looked at it they quickly found the right front coil spring broke and the strut bent. They said the coil broke at the bottom lucky for us nothing flew out to blow the tire when it happened. The car has very low miles and should not have had this happen!

I was driving on a small paved two lane highway at approximately 45 mph.I heard a loud noise and shortly after the tire blew out.this happened right before a small side road so I was able to turn onto that road so I wasn't on the highway.due to the flat tire and broken spring the car sat too low for the factory provided jack to fit under the car.I called my brother for assistance and he showed up with my nephew.they were able to lift up on the car just enough so that I could place the jack in the correct position.we put the factory donut spare tire on and I drove to warehouse tire...unfortunately they were just closing down for the day.I had four new tires installed the following Tuesday and then took the car to my mechanic.I picked the car up on July 3rd.my mechanic informed that the drivers side coil spring was broken also.the drivers side spring had broken near the top;the passenger side spring broke closer to bottom which allowed it to spin out of place and slice the tire.
