| Description of the problem | I driving with my sin in the car. We turned the corner and all of a sudden after my car was driving wobbly! I got out called my husband and he looked under the car. My whole rear was rusted out and my tire was detected from the bar under the car! It was just hanging (the left rear tire) in the air. My husband took a picture sent to a mechanic friend. He said that the lower control arm is detected!! When i call a dealer ship near by he had a car at his shop with the exact same problem with there nissan altima too!! She was trying to call nissan about the problem. They told him they will call him back. I've seen alot of complaints about this very same issue as i begin to research. My so and i could have been injured or could have died if we were going faster. I call nissan about it and they seen to unconcerned. I told them i should not have to pay for a on going problem that hundreds of people has complaints about and it's a safety issue! I have towel my car there and pay to get it fix but i should be reimbursed for my cost. This is a dangerous problem that need to be recalled. |
