| Description of the problem | I was driving at about 35mph, hit a small pothole & the rear control arm on the passenger side snapped. Not knowing about the service campaign (that came out in 10/2019- i purchased the car in 02/2020) i took it upon myself to get the part fixed. Almost $500 out of my pocket. Fast forward 10 months, driving 70 on the highway, didn't hit a pot hole or anything... The drivers side snapped. This is clearly a safety issue as i lost control of my car for a solid 15 seconds. How are only the 2014 altimas in canada eligible for free repairs but a car in ny state is not? I have a case open and will be expecting a call on 02/08. Really hoping nissan steps up to assist with repairs as this will amount to almost $1,000 in not even a year.. |
