Description of the problem	Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan altima. While driving approximately 35-40 mph, the rear driver's side lower control arm fractured. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that both lower control arms needed to be replaced due to severe corrosion. Walser nissan burnsville (14750 buck hill rd, burnsville, mn 55306, (612) 395-4999) was contacted via phone and informed of the failure. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 90,800. ln consumer stated luckily, i was going at a low speed when one of them broke otherwise i would have been taken off the road. My mechanic said one was broken and the other one was rusted so it probably was going to break soon. I understand that nissan is going to have a program to reimburse owners for this since it is a common problem for nissans in the 2013-2018 year. I have attached a copy of my bill and photos of the defective parts. I managed to get in touch with a nissan representative and he took my information but said due to the fact where my car was manufactured at it was not eligible for the program. I told them this was not a manufacture issue but a design flaw that caused the control arms to be exposed to corrosion materials if the car was driven in a state which used these chemicals. I live in minnesota which i believe is one of those states. He politely denied my claim and said they would keep it on file but almost guaranteed me no reimbursement would be coming my way. I decided to contact your agency to see if you could provide me with an avenue to get some reimbursement or a least bring to light a very dangerous issue with these vehicles, so no one else is injured. jb
