| Description of the problem | On monday , november 11th 2019, at around 7 am . I was driving to work northbound on the garden state parkway. I was traveling at 65mph when suddenly i felt a loss of control of my front end . Swerving right and left , my quick reaction time, the dry conditions and luck of having noone around me at the time saved me from an accident. I pulled over and inspected the car , i found that my right rear lower control arm had snapped from the frame (bushing) . I contacted aaa and was towed over 35 miles back home . I have since contacted both my local deal and nissan corporate. I am currently waiting a response back from corporate. I plan on towing the car to said dealer on saturday november 15th. |
