4 Sway Bar problem of the 2009 Nissan Versa

Failure Date: 04/15/2014

Both front coil springs on my 2009 Nissan Versa snapped in half on the same day. There was no apparent rust or fatigue. The front left tire was gouged out beyond repair from one of the springs (I am lucky it didn't punture and burst while I was driving it. ) I had to replace both coil springs, the mounts, the sway bars, and the tire, costing me nearly $1000 in repairs. I do not believe this is acceptable on a 5 year old vehicle with relatively few miles on it.

5 Sway Bar problem of the 2009 Nissan Versa

Failure Date: 07/22/2013

At 65 miles an hour the front coil spring on the driver’s side malfunctioned and broke creating a sharp edge that cut the front driver’s side tire. This caused a blow out on the highway. The car on examination after the malfunction had a total of three broken coil strings (two front and one rear), and other damage to the suspension (two struts, and sway bars). Vehicle was traveling on interstate highway at the time. Operator was able to control vehicle and move to shoulder thus avoiding a major accident. Vehicle had to be towed from shoulder. It appears these springs are defective.

6 Sway Bar problem of the 2009 Nissan Versa

Failure Date: 07/05/2013

At first I was hearing "bump" noises that sounded like a sway bar issue for a couple days. Then I heard a noise that sounded like I ran over a branch, except there was nothing in the road before - or after. I drove about 100 miles home on the highway, still thinking it was related to the sway bar. After about 10 miles on the backroads, it sounded like I shed a metal part. Upon retrieving the part from the road, it was about a semicircle piece of the front driver side coil spring that broke free. All unidentified noises are now gone, and dealer found nothing wrong with sway bar (after $88 diagnostic fee). Dealer quotes $565 for repair, except they can't do the repair even if I wanted them to. According to the dealer, it is a Nissan exclusive part, except Nissan is not currently making the part and it is on "national Nissan back order". The dealer advises that "I am currently paying monthly for a car I cannot drive, and cannot repair without using junkyard parts that in all likely-hood will also fail at some point.

8 Sway Bar problem of the 2007 Nissan Versa

Failure Date: 01/01/2007

My vehicle has been in the shop repeatedly for the front end "popping" when turning right. The right strut and bushing, rack and pinion, and sway bar has been replaced. This vehicle still has a quick "pop" which can be felt in the steering wheel when initially turning right. I fear something may fail when driving and loss of control may occur. This has been an ongoing problem that even Nissan cannot seem to fix. I have complained to Nissan about this issue and as you can see they have replaced numerous parts. I don't know what else to do.
