Underbody Shield Problems of Nissan Versa

I was driving at 45 mph and a loud "thump" under my car sounded like something hit the undercarriage. I looked back and could not see anything on the road. The next day, heard a "clang" under the as I decelerated from 20 mph. I stopped and found a piece of my right front coil spring in the roadway. The entire bottom coil of the spring had snapped right through the metal and fallen off the car. This is the second coil spring on my car that has done this. The left spring snapped the same way, about a year ago. The manufacturer must have used bad metal for the springs, and they could keep snapping while I am driving. It was dangerous when the first spring snapped, but if both springs snap on the same car, there is a serious defect.

Weld between the muffler pipe and flange failed. It wasn't a hole that rusted out but a clean failure at the weld.

While driving home from work my 2010 Nissan Versa began to make a rumbling sound. It has sense grown to a roar while stopped with the car in drive. I took it to the dealer where I got it and they said the rear muffler assembly had broken loose and was rubbing on the frame causing the noise and vibrations in the driver compartment. Upon a brief internet search I have found that many other Nissan owners have experienced the same problem. Nissan claims it is due to road salt, but the only part that is rusting out is the flange leading to the rear muffler assembly.

My muffler on my 2007 Versa rotted off the main pipe. After doing some research I found out this is a common problem with the Versas. Why is Nissan not recalling these faulty parts. Now I have to shop around and hope to get a good price with replacing the muffler. I am sure I will be back and say the tail pipe had to be replaced because many people have replaced that part already too.

There is a clunking noise coming from the front end, as one rolls over a speed bump at slow speed or enters a driveway. The noise began after 20,000 miles and has worsened ( now has 65,000). After Nissan inspected the car it was noted the sub-frame links and struts with strut mount assembly are faulty. Nissan forums are full of complaints regarding the same problem.
