I was driving down the highway and hit a bump and my brake light came on. The stuct tower came loose from the welds in the wheel housing and pushed up the strut housing into the brake cyclinder and burst the brake fluid line causing the brakes to fail. Contacted the Nissan dealership who said there was nothing they could do because in wisconsin the winter weather is bad and the rust and corrosion is not unusual. The dealerships body department said it would cost $2,800 to repair so since the car was 9 years old and had 152,000 miles on it I purchased a new car.
