Consumer Description

WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE WITH MY STEERING WHEEL TURNED SHARPLY TO THE LEFT I HEARD A LOUD METAL THUMP IN THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL WELL. THE NEXT DAY AT THE SERVICE SHOP I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD A BROKEN RIGHT FRONT SPRING THAT HAD COMPROMISED MY STRUT. THE WHOLE REPAIR ENDED UP COSTING ME $749. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT DRIVE A 2012 VERSA WITH ONLY 56,753 MILES ON IT! THERE IS NO WAY THAT THIS SPRING SHOULD HAVE BROKEN! I DIDN'T HIT ANY BUMPS OR POTHOLES, I WAS JUST PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE. HAD THIS HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND POPPED A TIRE OR SEVERED A BRAKE LINE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT COULD HAVE OCCURRED. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT IN THE SPRINGS THAT ARE BEING USED, NISSAN NEEDS TO SERIOUSLY LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE.
