| Description of the problem | Rear control arm on my nissan altima 2013 came apart on an interstate pushing me on to the left lane almost at 65 mph. Got really scared as i usually drive with my new born but luckily he was not in the car when this happened. The car has less than 60k miles and i had to replace them on both sides on the rear as they mentioned the other one too is going to break soon. Really disappointed as had to make a huge repair spending 1300 bucks for a car that is only used to run few errands over the weekend as i commute on train for work. *dt*jb |
