We took our Nissan Versa into tynan's Nissan (780 s havana st, aurora, CO 80012) for the recall on the coil springs. After they replaced the coil springs on our low mileage Nissan Versa, the ball joint on the passenger side failed within 10 miles of them replacing the coil springs for the recall. When this happened it put my amanda and our child in danger. Luckily they are safe and unharmed. Jason at tynan's Nissan service department initially apologized and said they would take care of everything and gave us a loaner vehicle, now 3 days later they are trying changing their story and trying to make us pay for the damage they caused during the recall repair. There is no way that a passenger side ball joint would coincidentally break on a low mileage car immediately after coil spring replacement unless they did something wrong to the vehicle to cause it. Tynan's Nissan is either not doing the recall repairs properly, or they purposely damaged our car for the purpose of taking our money. Either way we feel they should no longer be allowed to do recall repairs if they cannot do them without causing damages.
Vehicle failed virginia sate inspection citing both right and left front ball joints needing replaced. This vehicle has just over 50,000 miles and it seems odd that both ball joints have failed at such a low mileage. With Nissans recall of other parts of the front end this seems like another part failure.
:while pulling into the parking lot at work (thankfully was not driving on a road or at full speed), my front driver's side tire snapped out of place. At first, we thought it was a ball joint, but once it was brought to the garage, I was told that the spring had snapped and would need to be replaced on both sides, to the tune of 1400 dollars. While I am thankful that I wasn't driving on a highway or near pedestrians (I work in a city), having this happen on a 6 year old car seems a little suspicious. I hope there is some sort of recall and would love to know if Nissan is willing to reimburse the 1400 I unexpectedly had to pay.
I have a 2009 Nissan Versa that I had been hearing popping when I turned so I had to replace the cv axel and now I am having to replace the ball joint bushing because that is what caused my cv axel to start to go now I hear a grinding and the car has 63000 miles on it.
