Description of the problem	Have a 2013 nissan altima, low mileage. Pulling out of driveway and noticed the back end of car was swerving as if i was on ice. I pulled over tire was not flat and nothing was stuck by the tire. No ice was on the road. I pulled down a little further on rode and the right rear end collapsed. The tire was sitting bent outward . When i looked under the car a metal bar was cracked in half. I called my son in law who is familiar with car repair and he and a mechanic stated it was the right rear control arm that had huge amount of corrosion and had broken in half. I called nissan dealer in wausau wisconsin and they stated no recalls or service action is in place. Had i gone 5 minutes more down the road i would have been on a major highway at 65 miles and hour and believe i would have rolled the car and been in the ditch. I usually drive my 2 grandchildren in the car with me but today thank god they were at home. I found thru your website that nissan has been aware of this for sometime. This is a horrific finding . Does it take a death to get them to pull this part. I have pictures of the corrosion and breakage that i will try to send with this.
