1 Suspension Noise problem

Failure Date: 01/15/2021

After getting a wheel alignment I was told they (americas tires) couldnt get the specs spot on in the rear due to technical difficulties they were having with their system I continued to drive the vehicle as I normally do. After a couple weeks I had notice my rear tire tread was significantly depleting thus making me buy new tires again for the 3rd time. I went back to americas tires for another alignment adjustment and with their system up and running properly I was told that my rear control arm was going to need to be replaced. This being only a month sfter I took my car to the dealership where they had supposedly fixed a recall dealing with rear suspension. To this day my car makes a skidding/screeching sound when im on the freeway and causes it to eat up my tires yet again, ive already had a blowout happen as well on the right rear side where I was told the control arm needed to be changed and I can feel my car pull side to side when reaching freeway speed limits and feels very unsafe.

5 Suspension Noise problem

Failure Date: 02/09/2019

I was driving under 25 mph (in a straight line) on a smooth rode when the driver side of my car felt like it locked up for a second. My steering wheel immediately lost alignment and the wheel needed to be kept at 2:30 to drive straight. I made it less than a mile after the initial incident (I thought it was just wheel out of alignment) but with each rode bump I hit, my back end got looser and looser. I finally pulled off and packed my car. When I went to move it, in reverse, the was a large noise and I could tell something was fractured in the suspension. The driver side rear wheel was crashed into the wheel wheel and the control arm was broken. This appears to be the same thing NHTSA action number pe18013 is in regard to, and I live in cleveland, OH, with more than 100,000 miles of my car's 130,000 miles put on in northern ohio.

6 Suspension Noise problem

Failure Date: 11/19/2018

Left work going to the grocery store. Noticed the steering was sloppy with less control. I went through a patched area in the road and the whole car shook and there was a noise in the passenger rear. I called my husband and he met me in the grocery store parking lot so he could drive the car home. He drove about a quarter of a mile and called me to pull into a parking lot. He got under the car and saw that the lower control arm had rusted and broken away from the frame. He also noticed the passenger rear wheel at a strange angle with the top leaning into the wheel well. We took the car 2 blocks to the shop. The shop had to get the parts from Nissan and when they ordered them they were told the part had been redesigned so both sides had to be replaced. They replaced both rear lower control arms, both rear shocks and other suspension parts. I am just lucky the tire didn't fall off while I was driving.

8 Suspension Noise problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2014

Ever since I bought the vehicle my brakes, which also starts my car will occasionally feel like they get stuck sounds as if they might be rusty and when I apply pressure they catch. I will apply and then all of a sudden they click down. I'm afraid the longer it goes on sooner or later they will no longer work. Happens motion and stationary . Suspension� every bump I go over I feel like my car is hitting rock bottom. Slow or normal speed. All these problems I have told since I first bought my vehicle. I was fluffed off telling me it was this or that and it was normal. I drove the same car �a rental�never never felt any of these problems. That is why I decided to buy a Nissan. Big mistake.
