| Description of the problem | The control arm on the rear rusted from the inside out and broke while i was driving down a street. The car is at my mechanics now and will be repaired in a week or so. He has already contacted nissan to get the parts, but i believe this should be a recall because this has happened to a lot of other people. The part looked fine upon first look, but further inspection it was completely rusted from the inside out. Very dangerous! I completely lost steering and i could have gotten into an accident! I do not trust this car anymore! |
