I had on the heater, I was driving on the freeway and my car started to shake there was a burning smell a loud pop sound and then I span out of control into a ditch. I was living in sacramento, ca about to get off the highway to pick someone up from the airport. It was raining, but not hard at all.

Prior to being apart of the takata inflator recall, I did not realize that citizens could report erroneous and dangerous part failures in their automobiles prior to a dangerous incident. Having gone through the takata recall, I am now a more aware consumer and want to report an incident involving failing door assemblies on nissan versa hatchback's. The right front door lock actuator failed on my 2010 nissan versa hatchback several years after ownership. It is unclear if this happened during or after driving, but it was discovered when the car was stationary. I have been told by nissan that the door latch assembly needs to be replaced in order for the hatch back door in the rear to open. The unlock signal even when the doors are unlocked is not being sent to the tailgate. A failure to design and manufacture high-quality door latch is not a consumer or customer error. Additionally, other auto company's like ford have recalled their door assemblies, because any weakness in a door assembly can cause the door to open while driving and poses a risk to the passengers or drivers. Ford stated that "should a customer be able to open and close the door with these conditions, the door may appear closed, but the latch may not fully engage the door striker with the potential that the door could open while driving, increasing the risk of injury." the federal safety agency needs to look into the nissan actuator issue. It is a risk for people riding and driving nissans and also a liability to the company.

After unlocking my vehicle with the remote I pulled the handle to open the driver's door and it came off in my hand. There did not appear to be any other damage to the door or handle.

After driving home from the airport, we noticed something was not right. Less than two days later, I can barely drive my car without radiating pain from every little road bump. Took my car to the shop and shelled out over a grand to replace both front spring/struts. Now, less than 2 months later, my car is making a horrific rattling sound that shakes the entire car and I believe something is wrong (or even missing) from my exhaust pipe connection. After this, I did some research and the darn springs were recalled in october of 2015. Mine broke in march with less than 60000 miles

We live in virginia, while my 18 year old was driving out of high school to come home he felt a huge bump coming around the corner coming home (thank goodness he was close to our neighborhood and not in the highway). He stopped the vehicle close to the house and noticed that as he was turning the coils must have hit the tire but due to the rust under the car from the salt the muffler fell off. This could have cause some severe damage to someone driving behind him if he was driving faster or in the highway. I have called nissan cooperation first to explain the situation. But since nissan representative made a spectacle of herself when I told her I had cancer and its the only vehicle we have that my son takes me to appointments they unavoidably have been avoiding to call me back.. She told me I dont sound like I have cancer!! I didnt call for ignorance I called to have my issue resolved not to have my cancer thrown in my face. They had my claim number #21697765 transferred to their head office due to the insensitivity and the issue. Their head office calls and leaves me messages at the worst times of the day and never calls me back when I call. I am adding a picture of the rusted muffler and the damage it could have caused my son and his life and others on the road! Truly this is irresponsible on nissan's part!!! I haven't even passed 67000 miles on my car. Please know that allstate was called and advised of issue on feb.17,2015 same day as incident. My representatives name was sarah and she advised me to call nissan and they must supply a better part or a better vehicle due to a lack of response and lack of safety parameter of my sons life and if I was I the vehicle, my life!

I opened my drivers door, the handle came completely off. The drivers door will not open from inside either. It sounds like it still works but nothing happens when you try to open it from the inside. The key will not open it, no outside door handle, possible interior plastic\electrical components broken. Vehicle still runs and drives fine. Powertrain is intact. Interior is falling apart due to cheap construction. Looked online to the nissan forum board and saw many other people with same problem with door handles breaking for no apparent reason. Car is only equipped with one key entry on drivers side only. Keyfob and security system starting to break down. Went to nissan dealership in steven point wi and they will only fix if I have money to repair. Ford dealership in wisconsin rapids where I bought the car said that the warranty does not cover this. Repair could cost me over $700+.

When driving I can hear a chirping noise from the engine area; when accelerating sounds like coming from the front right hand possibly the tires; the breaks do not react on command; the shifter material on the automobile delaminated; button on seat belt came off; driver rear door coming apart; engine light is on; experienced problems with water intrusion from outside; engine and engine cooling, exterior lighting, noise from steering column, electrical problems radio not working; vehicle has not started at times; rear hatch would not open; the automobile's gas tank had to be replace; when I received a notice of the recall I went to nissan of bakersfield and asked about the recall for this automobile and they stated "we have nothing to do with that recall notice". We can not help you and they sent me home. The vehicle jerked while driving, the driver's window was inoperable, the gasket was replaced three times. Also,the battery had to be replaced.
