| Description of the problem | I own a 2007 nissan altima. Single car owner - no abuse or damage. Heard something dragging under car yesterday 6-20-11. Stopped to look under car - something dragging by rear passenger tire. Took car to firestone - was told rear sway bar broken. Guy at firestone said he has repaired 3 of these on nissan altima's in past 6 months. Funny thing, i called large nissan dealer and asked if a recall was in place. Large nissan dealer has no idea that so many rear sway bars on 2007 nissan altima's broken. Even said that they have not seen such at their dealership... Hmmmmm! |
