What owners wrote
In 2015 was driving my 2011 nissan versa. It was clear weather 830am I was on a street which speed was 40-55MPH going within the speed limit the vehicle had been properly maintained since ownership when out of no where my right front end dropped which I learned was ( my front coil spring snapped) and caused my vehicle to loose control and the car to roll multiple times and me being ejected out of the vehicle and the air bags also did not deploy even though they were engaged on.
Today, 5/1/2019, my car's rear spring snapped. Thankfully I was going slow and it didn't cause an accident. However, the reason I'm reporting this is because the front springs were recalled for not being coated properly, but the back springs were not and it seems to be the same type of problem. I was driving less than 25 MPH, bringing my friends kids to the bus stop and I heard a loud spring popping bang noise and felt it under my car.
