| Description of the problem | I have a 2006 nissan titan king cab 4x4. Last thursday i heard a loud bang in the back end of my truck. I looked around and didn't really notice anything. Friday i heard more noise from the back end and made and appointment to have it looked at. Saturday was more noise, but getting much worse. Sunday i went to put something in the bed of my truck and saw a hole on the back passengers side corner with a part coming through the bed. I then got underneath my truck to find that the leaf spring had broken in half and fired a piece of my suspension through the bed of my truck. I brought it to be fixed today and the mechanic said that he had seen a lot of these with a bad weld and that i should contact nissan because he heard they were possibly going to recall them for leaf spring. I checked online and couldn't find a recall for a bad weld on a leaf spring, but i did find thousands of other people complaining about the same thing so that is why i am filing a complaint. Hopefully nissan does something about them like toyota is doing because they are taking care of their faulty leaf springs. |
