Front Suspension Control Arm problems of the 2000 Nissan Pathfinder

My 2000 Nissan Pathfinder started handling bad so I took it to a mechanic and the problem was that the front passenger side control arm bracket that holds the control arm to the frame had totally rusted away and the control arm was not connected to the frame. I took the car to the dealership and they fixed a rust problem associated with the front strut recall but did not acknowledge the control arm issue. I contacted carol keith at Nissan north America consumer affairs and she was of now help as she continually said that the recall was performed and she wouldn't do anything else. I went back to bermans Nissan in chicago we put the car on the lift and the service manager acknowledged that the car was unsafe to drive. He tried to get his boss to fix the problem but he wouldn't so I'm stuck with a car that is unsafe to drive. I see that frame rust is an issue for Pathfinders. Also, there is another complaint exactly like mine pertaining to the passenger side control arm corrosion and separating from the frame. I think that this should be investigated before someone dies, unfortunately it may be to late.

Tl- the contact owns a 2000 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated there was rust and corrosion on the right side of the frame where the control arm bolts were located. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated there was no recall for the failure and the vehicle was inoperable, nor will they repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 139,000. Rvk.

My 2000 Pathfinder started to sway back and forth in the rear of the car violently when going over bumps. Especially at higher speeds then 45mph and especially when there are turns in the road or freeways. Really happens on freeways when there is a turn to the left and there seems to be those bumps that big rig trucks seem to make in some of the lanes. The car starts swaying back and forth in the rear real bad and seems like the car could flip over if in the right circumstances! very scary! very unsafe!. Have read thousands of the same complaints online everywhere that it is the rear control arm bushings that seem to wear out and need replacing.

I have a Nissan Pathfinder le 2000 that in the past 8 mo have rocking or wobbling from side to side (or left to right) when driven at freeway speed (55-75). If you do not let off the gas or make a slight correction with steering wheel, it will get really bad to a point the it might fishtail. It's been progressively worsening even at lower speed, it's been happening. Aside from speed, it can be triggered by slight uneven road or bumps. I have had my alignment, wheel balanced, front end struts replaced which helped a little. I still have to get rear control arm bushings replaced. I have researched this online and there ar thousands of people complaining of the same exact symptom of my care. It seemed to be a common problem with the Pathfinder (high mileage-- mine is 121,000) and it appears that the control arm bushings on rear suspension is the problem. This is a very dangerous problem and it would not surprise me if there have been fatality involved. What has been done to correct this problem and I believe that there should be a recall with all Nissan Pathfinder to correct this dangerous and potentially fatal flaw in their suspension design.
