What owners wrote
I was driving around a curve on a city street when my driver side front coil spring snapped impacting the tire causing my vehicle to swerve over a median sustaining major damages to the undercarriage and body of the vehicle. Recall # 15v573000
Backing out of parking spot, turning left, the front coil springs (both driver and passenger side) broke. The nissan dealer replaced both front coil springs. There is an NHTSA case open (recently open- case # pe 15-019) to investigate front coil springs breaking. The NHTSA case states nissan versa model years 2008 to 2010 are under investigation. My nissan versa is a 2012 model year/hatch back. The coil springs breaking are not limited to the 2008 to 2010 model years.
