Around 12:30 pm sysco driver #138249 illegally parked on the san diego California street blocking off traffic. I made a note of the drivers identification because of the awkward closeness to my vehicle. I went to an appointment about an hour away and upon my return I immediately noticed tension and pulling with my suspension that was not there before. I contact sysco corporate office to report the incident and they said they will take care of it and to make a police report. I call immediately and am put on hold for nearly 90 minutes then am disconnected. I go to make an in person report and the police department is closed on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I notify the department of transportation and the California attorney general of my situation and how my car is not working like before. This should be investigated.
2010 Nissan altam the front strut insulators on both sides have really bad cracks on the upper insulators. It's a loud clunking noise going over bumps or just driving on flat surfaces. There's a recall on 09 and 10 maxima and altamas with the same issues but this one isn't showing up for a recall.
When parked letting the car warm up constant shaking kinda a rough ideal at times. From park to reverse it shifts hard the to drive its ok I guess then on the go it's like driving a boat on land loud knocking sounds seems like the tires are flat or about to explode off the car really nerve-wracking.
The rear sub-frame where the hub is connected to (drivers side), blew out /rusted out completely while driving. I just inspected the car recently and while I saw some surface rust on the rear sub-frame, I had no indications that the whole rear tire hub support-mount was about to fail. Inspecting the passenger side of the sub-frame, I suspect that mount is about to blow too. I was driving on the interstate which was curving left, when this happened. I lost control and the tire started screeching as it was not making flat contact after the failure. It was difficult to re-gain control and I am blessed that there was no accident. Nissan Altima driver's should be cautious driving a car that appears completely fine. I've attached pictures of the bad side and the other side to show how a 'good side' appears before it goes out. Also, there is a recall for 02-05 Nissans for rear sub-frame corrosion issues, but no recalls for the later years like my 2010.

The right side motor mount is broken for starters and then on the left drivers side front struts are making a noise and sometimes my back up camera goes out also the transmission is starting to jerk a little or it may be the broken motor mount.
Vehicle was in motion whilst turning at at a junction. Back end of the vehicle swung out of the turn as if on ice. Stopped the vehicle and discovered that the rear right-hand wheel was bent as if the wheel was falling off. On further inspection I discovered the rear subframe had broken up.
My struts beginning to sound horrible. I was traveling and as I would speed up the rpms would go higher making a whistling noise. Service engine light came on. I went had it put on a computer and it's said transmission and torque converter clutch solenoid.
Right and left side strut insulator manufactured out of specification resulting in a potential for the strut insulator to crack. Car will not pass inspection.
Mechanic found cracked struts and advised is a danger to drive long distance. There is a recall for this very problem (09v358000) for my year and vehicle type. My VIN included in recall. Why? the estimate for the repair is $940 + a $140 diagnostic. The car is jerky and makes a loud noise when driving. I am now confined to only drive locally until I can afford the $1k cost to repair. Why is my car not included in recall?.

There is a loud noise. I have heard same noise from other Altima's. I see there was a recall for the a crack in the struts for this model. I feel it should be fixed by the manufacture.
I was driving normal speed limit 60 mph on the fwy when we heard a noise like a big pop sound. Right away when I tried to slow down to get over ( when I applied the brake) the steering wheel began shaking so bad that I was unable to control the wheel. It felt as if the brakes werent working. The car spun out of control and crashed in the carpool divider. This was a brand new Nissan Altima 2010 coupe with 60k miles on the car. We did not hit anything at the time or even before the accident occured, all parts on the car was brand new. I remembered that the more that I tried to apply the brakes the steering wheel shock harder and harder to where I was unable to even control it.
