| Description of the problem | Driving home at 45 mph on a city street, heard a pop, lost control, was able to drive slow with hazards to repair shop. Waning lights came on immediately. Received notification that control arm snapped and other control arm cracked. Google and found safety notice for 2013/2014 for related to states with high road salt. Us and canada. Us is vague point to only 2013 with canada stating both 13 and 14. Expensive repair that should be covered by nissan is very vague to avoid paying these repair cost.. As you can see from the picture, these was defiantly a rust issue caused from road salt. I live in illinois. |
