| Description of the problem | I was driving down the road when i heard a bang, and then the car started make a noise like the exhaust let go, and vibrated when i pushed the gas pedal to gain some speed, so when i got it checked out it came out to be the sway bar broke on the driver side, i take care of my car and something like that shouldn't just break, even if you do hit a bump, i have been researching on the internet and came to find out that this is known problem but nissan won't take responsibility. I always have my 3 year old little boy in the car, i was told not to drive very far with it broken but i am trying to get some answers first, why did this happen, a part like this shouldn't just break. I am from nova scotia canada b1a-2s2 but the list below says you have to be from the united states. *tt |
