NHTSA Complaint #10717115 — 2010 NISSAN MAXIMA

I BEGAN NOTICING AN ODD NOISE IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WHEN TRAVELING OVER ROUGH ROADS, POTHOLES OR BUMPS. THE NOISE QUICKLY BECAME WORSE AND MORE METALLIC SOUNDING. I HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE AND THIS CAR WAS NOT DRIVEN ALL WINTER AND LITTLE SO FAR THIS YEAR. SO IT HAS NOT BEEN USED MUCH SINCE A NEW CVT WAS INSTALLED UNDER WARRANTY. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL GARAGE I TRUST AND AFTER TEST DRIVING IT HEARD THE NOISE AND PUT IT ON THE LIFT. IT WAS THEN BOTH FRONT SPRINGS WERE FOUND TO BE BROKEN IN ALMOST THE EXACT SAME SPOT. A VERY ODD OCCURRENCE FOR SURE. THIS IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY AND IS CERTAINLY A SAFETY ISSUE.
