 Description of the problemI was just getting on the highway when i almost lost control of the car. I was doing about 35mph and rapidly increasing to highway speed. The steering wheel started shaking violently and i had all i could do to pull off to the shoulder. Had this happened a minute later while i was driving on the highway, i seriously believe i would not have survived. Quite frankly i doubt i would have been able to avoid a crash or rollover. Aaa towed the car to my nissan dealership. They said the driver side rear control arm snapped in half at the welds and broke free. The rear passenger side control arm was also severely damaged with cracks at the welds. While i was taken aback by the severity of the problem the service manager was totally unconcerned saying they have had to replace a number of these. The car had just been inspected by the dealer weeks before. It has never been in an accident. It is garage kept and well maintained. I filed an official complaint with nissan on august 19, 2019.
