Wheel problem

2011 Nissan Murano, while pulling into a parking area the left rear (drivers side) wheel collapsed. Fortunately this happened at a very low speed, (under 10 mph). Upon inspection it was discovered that the lower control strut had rotted out and separated from the frame causing the wheel to collapse. If this had occurred on a main road at speed it could have caused a very serious accident due to loss of control. In this case it did not happen, as stated it was at low speed and in a parking lot. The deterioration of this strut was never called out by dealer inspite of numerous multi-point safety inspections during normal periodic vehicle servicing. There was no warning of impending failure, it just occurred! neither Nissan or the dealer claim any responsibility for the failure of this part(s) both sides were replaced as both sides had rotted out.
