Description of the problem	While going about 40 mph driving on a city street my car randomly started to fish tail and i lost control of the rear tires. I took it straight to nissan and found that the rear control arms had broken. The tech said he "had never seen a break like this." i had not hit any potholes or curbs i was simply driving down the road and it just broke. The vehicle only has 60k miles on it and is in great condition. Luckily i was not on the highway or in a position that i could not pull over as i lost complete control of my tail end and had to drive 45 mins (usually a 15 min ride) to my closest dealership. I have seen similar complaints about the control arms on the 2013 alitma's with low miles and beginning to think this is faulty part.
