Description of the problem	After a turn onto a main road in the town of henrietta ny the stability warning light started flashing and the steering wheel suddenly had to be 20 degrees to the right to go straight. After getting of the road in a safe parking lot i noticed the left rear wheel tipped toward the right and tipped in about 15 degrees at the top riding very high in the wheel well. Looking under the car i could see some piece of the left rear suspension metal hanging down. The car was not safe to drive and thank goodness i wasn't on the expressway at 65 mph! The nissan dealer advised because of age and mileage [about 90,000] this would not be a "covered" repair even though i was aware of a nissan voluntary service campaign [not a recall] to have the owners of some 212,000 2013 nissan altima's bring their cars in for rear lower control arm [spring buckets] replacment at no charge. It was found that in the 22 states that use road salt these parts were developing cracks due to rust and cracking. I wash my car frequently in the winter including undercarriage so i believe this is an inherent design/engineering defect. In 2018 nissan redesigned this part to mitigate this issue.
