2 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 01/03/2020

The pieces on the door handle of 2007, seem to pop out over time. Drive side key entry and the passenger side door. I know of three Nissan Versa's have caught fire and all from the cavalier converter. . . The heater core has some issues. This car had an airbag recall and I don't believe my airbags were replaced. I was told that both side's airbags were done. The dealership told me it would take three weeks to a month to repair. When I told them that I would have to be compensated for my car downtime because I do uber. It was done in two days. The clock spring went out in my car. I do not have a lot of pictures, but I can go in my file and fine them. Thanks for any help on these issues. The airbags were done at the end of 2017 and I didn't know I could do what I'm doing today. I was told I would have to paid to get my airbags checked out. Over the past two years, I've had so many issues with my car. I've spent over 2. 000. 00 or more. I've learned so much about my car from google and youtube. Thank you for any help in this matter.

4 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 10/20/2017

Was driving down the street and I heard a loud bang then my car veered off to the right. Luckily I wasn't on a busy road and was able to pull it all the way over. The front of my car basically collapsed onto the passenger corner. It was covering my tire and I couldn't move the car. Apparently the strut broke and had to get an alignment. Also, the engine light won't turn off after I put gas in. The gas cap will not screw on right. My door handles keep popping off. My seatbelt keeps getting stuck. And my tire light won't turn off when nothing is wrong with it.

5 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 10/03/2017

Takata recall I was informed last week via a letter that I have two recalls on my vehicle. So I did what Nissan told me to do and went to a dealership, to pick up a loaner vehicle provided from Nissan. We went through all of the paperwork and they informed me that the driver side airbag will not be available until spring 2018. I accepted this fact and was willing to accept their loaner vehicle and bring my car home and not drive it. When we got to the rental agreement they informed me I would not be able to use the vehicle for lyft or uber driving, lyft is my main source of income and I have no other option. I am also a driver for amazon flex and I'm leaving pizza hut. When I went to sign the rental agreement they informed me that I would not be able to use their vehicle for my job. Also they informed me that I would need to contact Nissan for it to be approved to be able to use the vehicle for commercial purposes. This is my only means of transportation and income. So I contacted Nissan and the person I was connected with escalated my case to a regional Nissan manager. The second person called me back within a few hours and informed me that I would not be able to use the vehicle for my job, and that if I choose to continue to drive my current vehicle I would be relinquishing any rights if the airbags were to harm me. So I either choose to accept their loaner vehicle and find a new job, or refuse the car and drive my current vehicle with airbags that might harm me and or occupants of my vehicle. While I was at the dealership I attempted everything I possibly could I even asked if they would be able to accept my car as a trade in they denied to this because of the airbags. So I have the choice of changing careers or continue to drive a car that could possibly injure me or any occupants. I was informed to contact the NHTSA by the dealership I purchased my car from.

11 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 01/02/2015

Was driving down the street in my town going around 25 mph when it sounded as though I hit something, but looked back and didn't see anything. Heard a popping noise when I would turn right but then it went away, but the car felt funny when I drove it, so I took it into the dealer to get it checked out and discovered the passenger side has a broken coil spring. Did some research and discovered this is a very common issue with these cars, and I lucked out since many coil springs, when they break, often tear apart the tire, which if going at high speeds could cause a loss of control of the vehicle and cause a potentially serious/fatal accident.

12 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 07/10/2014

Heard a clunk of metal from front right. Stopped the car and inspected the front and found right front spring had broken. If the spring had fallen off the perch there would have been loss of control!.

13 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 11/01/2013

Vehicle was in motion on a highway when it unexpectedly started shaking and sliding/skidding from side to side ending in a crash. Furthermore, malfunctioning airbags resulted in severe cuts, bruises and other injuries to face and other body parts.

14 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 05/26/2012

The driver's side front spring broke on my 2007 Nissan Versa. Luckily, I was driving slowly (about 30mph) on a quiet road (no big pot holes or bumps). I heard a huge pop and then had trouble steering. After pulling it into a gas station, I quickly noticed that the entire front driver's side was nearly resting on my front tire. Luckily, the tire wasn't compromised by the spring/body. The car was not drivable and had to be towed. From my knowledge of cars, springs tend to last for the lifetime (or beyond) of the vehicle. This is dangerous and unexpected.

15 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 03/03/2009

2007 Nissan Versa always pulls to the left, alignment problem.

16 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 06/11/2007

The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Versa. While driving approximately 60-70 mph, the vehicle veers to the left. When decelerating, the vehicle veers to the right and feels as if it will spin out. The contact has scheduled an appointment at the dealer for June 29, 2007. The powertrain was unknown. The current and failure mileages were 30. The consumer stated took the vehicle to cerrito's and the mechanic test drove the vehicle and stated there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. The foreman stated it could be steering but since it is electric and does not have power steering. She does not know if that is the reason the vehicle is veering to either the right or left. The consumer stated feels unsafe driving the vehicle and provided emails from other consumers with the same defect. The consumer also provided a copy of the repair invoice. Updated 07/31/07.
