2008 NISSAN VERSA Complaints

THE COIL SPRING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT BROKE ALMOST SPEARING MY TIRE AS I WAS ABOUT TO BACK OUT OF MY GARAGE. THIS VEHICLE SITS IN A GARAGE ALL YEAR ROUND AND IS USED DAILY. LUCKILY I DID NOT MAKE IT OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY OR I MAY HAVE GOTTEN HURT AT 65 MPH OR WORSE GOTTEN SOMEONE ELSE HURT BECAUSE OF THIS MANUFACTURES DEFECT.

WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN THEIR WAS A LOUD NOISE AND A SMELL OF RUBBER UPON FURTHER INSPECTION THE PASSENGER SIDE COIL SPRING BROKE EXPANDING PASS THE LOWER PLATE AND MAKE CONTACT WITH THE TIRE. *TR

THE FLANGES ON THE MIDDLE EXHAUST AT DISTAL END AND THE MUFFLER HAVE COMPLETELY OXIDIZED. MAJOR COSTS TO REPAIR BOTH MUFFLER AND MIDDLE EXHAUST. *TR

I GOT OFF THE HOLT EXIT OFF 10 EAST, A PIECE OF PLYWOOD WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND HIT THE LEFT SIDE OF CAR. MY LEFT SIDE RIM'S ARE DAMAGED. *TR

WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY I HEARD A BANG AND THE TIRE BEGAN RUBBING ON SOMETHING. I PULLED BACK IN THE DRIVEWAY. I LOOKED UNDER AND SAW THAT THE SPRING WAS BROKEN. I AM VERY LUCKY SINCE I DRIVE THE INTERSTATE 376 EVERYDAY TO WORK. IF THE SPRING HAD BROKEN AT SPEED I AM SURE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN DAMAGE TO THE CAR AND A POSSIBLE ACCIDENT. THE CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE AT THIS TIME. *TR

ON JANUARY 26, 2015, I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY TO TAKE MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL WHEN A DRIVER AT LEAST 2 CAR DISTANCES IN FRONT OF ME CAME TO AN ABRUPT STOP WHICH CAUSED ME TO PUT ON MY BRAKES SO THAT I WILL HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO STOP AT A GOOD ENOUGH DISTANCE SO THAT I DO NOT HIT THEM. HOWEVER, AFTER DOING SO MY CAR KEPT SLIDING AND I WAS UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING AND THE CAR STILL HIT THE DRIVER IN FRONT OF ME. WE ALL LEFT THE SCENE IN AN AMBULANCE. I DO NOT KNOW THE STATUS OF THE OTHER DRIVER, BUT I AM SUFFERING FROM SEVERE BACK PAIN, SOME NECK PAIN AND I HAVE HEADACHES. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE CHECKED BEFORE SOMEONE ENDS OF DYING. I AM GLAD THAT NO ONE WAS KILLED IN THIS ACCIDENT.
