2013 Nissan Altima wheels problems

“Heard a loud pop noise from the rear of the car while backing up, steering was unstable while driving. Looked under the car and discover the right rear control arm is broken.”

“While driving on a highway at approximately 65 mph the car seemed to lose traction and the slip indicator light appeared. Once able to safely look at the vehicle it was noticed the rear wheels were not aligned and the lower rear control arm had snapped.”

“THE STEERING WHEEL WAS PULLING TO ONE SIDE AS I DROVE TO WORK. AFTER I PARKED MY CAR I PUT IT IN REVERSE AND SOMETHING FELL OUT OF THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR. THE REAR LOWER LINK HAD BROKEN IN HALF AND THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVABLE. THE TIRES BENT IN. THE CAR WAS THEN TOWED TO UNIVERSAL NISSAN. THIS WAS A RECALL AND NISSAN WANTS TO CHARGE ME FOR PARTS AND LABOR.”

“I took my car in for an alignment and the mechanic discovered excessive and sever corrosion on the lower suspension link in the rear, the corrosion is so bad that the entire subframe is holding on by a corroded approximately 1/2 inch section, one bump and the entire rear end of the vehicle will fall off. This car is less than 10 years old, has 80,000 miles on it and is for the most part kept in a garage. The corrosion is so bad that the car has been deemed unsafe to drive.

I found that Nissan has put in place a "warranty extension to replace this exact part of the lower rear suspension due to excessive corrosion for the year/make/model of car I am reporting, however Nissan is refusing to honor that on my car simply because my VIN number didn't show up as one that should be experiencing this KNOWN issue. Searching the internet I have found hundreds of people that have…”

“THE AIRBAG LIGHT FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE STAYS ON WHICH MEANS THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT DEPLOY BECAUSE IT'S NOT DETECTING ANY WEIGHT. EVEN WHEN SOMEONE SITS IN IT IT DOESN'T DETECT WEIGHT. THE TIRES ARE CONSTANTLY LOSING AIR.”

“ALL 4 WHEEL BEARINGS FAILED. NOISE LEVEL INCREASED WITH TIME AND EVENTUALLY CHANGED WHEN I WAS CONCERNED WITH MY SAFETY. CONFIRMED BY MECHANIC, THAT ALL 4 BEARINGS WERE BAD. MECHANIC CHANGED BOTH FRONT BEARING FIRST BEFORE CHANGING BACK BEARING TO CONFIRM FAILURE ON BACK WHEEL BEARINGS AS WELL. CHANGED BEARINGS AT ABOUT 110,500 MILES. HAVE LOVED NISSAN BUT I'VE HAD TWO MAJOR SAFETY CONCERNS WITH TWO VEHICLES AS OF LATE”
