| Description of the problem | My mechanic discovered that the front lower control arms had deteriorated and needed to be replaced to avoid failure/accident. I was informed that this is a known issue, and auto suppliers are unable to keep the parts in stock due to high demand with recent failures in specific year (2013) altimas as well as hondas. If this is a known issue, why has there not been a recall? |
