| Description of the problem | The rear driver side link complete nissan part# 551b1-3tao on my 2013 altima snapped at the weld where it bolts to the subframe, this happened july of 2019. Today i had my altima in for an oil change and noticed the passenger side rear link complete has severe cracks in the weld in the same exact place as the driver side that snapped in july 2019. I had the driver side repaired/ complete new part was needed. Now i have to replace the passenger side part as it is a serious safety issue as a loss of control to the rear suspension is the result of it should snap likevdriver side did in july. Luckily my daughter was driving straight at 25 mph when the catastrophic failure occurred to the driver side rear link complete. I have contacted nissan usa and they have done nothing other than saying sorry but there is no recall and it |
