| Description of the problem | While driving on the highway at about 67 mph my entire car swerved to the left side. I felt like my steering wheel was loose and the wheel alignment was suddenly off. I did have to have the car towed from work. The final diagnosis is my left rear control arm split in half and my right rear control arm is cracked in the same spot. This is a significant safety issue as it could of caused a major accident if there was a car to the left of mine during this incidence. Nissan reports $1192. 05 to replace both rear control arms. I am in the process of attempting to get reimbursement from nissan because the local nissan dealership states that they stock the parts for the repair because they have had a a few of them lately. My case # with nissan is 33841223 |
