NHTSA Complaint #10286122 — 2007 NISSAN VERSA

ABOUT APRIL 8 2007 9 DAYS WHILE PURCHASING THIS CAR I REPORTED A COMPLAINT TO THE LOCAL BAYRIDGE NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT ABOUT A CLUNKING AND KNOCKING NOISE IN THE FRONT END OF THE CAR AND FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL, THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 200 MILES AT THE TIME. AFTER AT LEAST 12/15 TRIPS TO VARIOUS SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR REPAIR ATTEMPTS,RIGHT AXLE, STRUTS, STRUT MOUNTS, STRUT BEARINGS ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE, THE PROBLEM WOULD NOT GO AWAY. THEY EVENTUALLY PLACED LARGE METAL WASHERS BETWEEN THE SUB FRAME AND CROSS BRACE SUPPORT BECAUSE THEY STATED THAT THE SUB FRAME BUSHINGS HAD SAGGED, OR WHERE IMPROPERLY INSTALLED AT THE MANUFACTURER. NOW THE STEERING FEELS LOOSE AND THE ONLY WAY I CAN DESCRIBE IT IS IT FEELS AS IF THE STEERING COLUMN IS SEPARATING WHEN TAKING TURNS OVER UNEVEN ROAD SURFACES.THEY HAVE CHANGED RIGHT AXLE MANY TIMES BUT NO USE , NISSAN NORTH AMERICA REPRESENTATIVE MR JUSTIN HALL REVIED CASE 3 TIMES COULD NOT FIX THE VEHICLE FROM HIS MECHANIC SEND BY NISSAN .
