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 (the federal safety agency 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 hard against the tire. The appearance of the coil spring still on the car matched the one I had found. A mechanic and tow truck operator verified it was in fact the coil spring that had broken. The attached images are of the front passenger side wheel well with coil spring visible and of the coil spring part that broke off.

My car is under 100,000 miles and failed inspection due to sub frame bushing missing. The mechanic told me these parts usually last for up to 200,000 miles. He also told me my tire could've come right off the car with this part missing. This could've cause a major accident or fatality! Can you please look into this. I've down some research and have found lots of versas from 2007-2009 models have been having the same problems.

The coil spring on my front passenger side tire broke in two and then moved out of place to damage and eventually pop my tire (in a matter of minutes). The edges of the break on the spring are very jagged and tore away the rubber from my tire as I was driving.

I went out to start my car back in march and saw that I had a flat tire. I thought it was a routine flat tire until I went to get the car repaired and they billed me for $1500 & explained how my struts on my front wheels busted so bad that it was pushing on my tires puncturing the front passenger tire. They went on to explain further how I must have hit something extremely hard b/c those are very difficult to break. Since there was nothing but the occasional bump in the road I hit I realized that something had to be wrong with the strut and springs. This complaint is motivated by the fact that my struts and springs could have broken during my routine trips on the highway between bloomington and indianapolis. If they would have broke at that time while traveling between 50-70 MPH I would have been in a high speed accident that could very easily have taken my life or the others around me.

I was turning onto a side street and heard a thump under my hood on the right side of the car. There was no difficulty driving although I kept hearing thumps for days after. I went in to a garage to get my snow tires put on and the garage saw that the spring above my right front tire was sheered in half and had damaged my tire. I had it towed to the nearest nissan and they fixed it while I went and bought new tires. About 3 months later, it happened on the left side. Then about a year after that, the spring above the right front tire broke again, so I replaced it a third time to a cost of $1200 per spring. I contacted nissan and was told no recall was in place for this. The mechanic at the garage told me this was a common problem for this car. In addition, at the same time, I noticed the engine losing power at different times, especially when stopped at a light or upon acceleration from a low speed to a high speed. No check engine light, no engine trouble noted, just loss of power. Shutting the car off and turning it back on seems to reset it but it's an ongoing issue.
