| Description of the problem | Just recently i noticed my rear sway bar had snapped into two pieces. Nothing has been done to cause this; no accidents and nothing has hit the undercarriage of my car. After doing research on the internet i have found that there are many other consumers with the same exact problem - their sway bar just snapped in half too. I now have to purchase the expense car part because nissan wont recall or admit to having this default on the 2007 nissan altima. I only have 75,000 miles on my car. |
