| Description of the problem | I was driving home from work and notice that my back right wheel was shaking. At first it was minor and then about 5 miles into my drive the shaking became severe. I pulled over to the side of the road and called for a tow. The experience was scary, the shaking became very scary like the wheel was going to fall off. I found out from a mechanic that my control arm right rear broke and it was good i got off the road when i did. My right wheel was turned on it's side. I just purchased this car in june 2018 and was told by nissan marlborough that it was a safe car. |
