| Description of the problem | I've been having this clacking noise in the right rear of my car. I went to 2 auto repair places to try to identify the problem. Every time i went over a bump in the road on the right side... Click clack, click clack. Finally, diagnosed as crack in control arm. It is at kelly nissan now. I do have a bumper to bumper warranty from warranty direct. However, i am hoping that nissan will fix at no cost to me, since this is an ongoing problem with this make and model. I was told i shouldn't be driving the car because it was too dangerous. Also, i reported this to nissan . I hope no one gets injured due to this defect. I was lucky. |
