Recently discovered a serious problem that frequently shows itself when driving at higher speeds (over 45) and one hits a bump or small pot hole the vehicle suddenly develops an extreme wobble making it very hard to control. I suddenly was in an adjacent lane and was almost hit. Doing some research on the internet it seems to be a common problem and even has been given a name. It's referred to as the death wobble. If one quickly slow down to wobble will go away. I was told by several mechanics don't drive on the highway you'll stand a good chance of flipping the vehicle. It seems the problem is failed bushings in rear control arms. Unfortunately when the problem shows when the car becomes difficult and dangerous to control. Repairs are costly and often misdiagnosed. It appears Nissan is aware but no safety warning or recall has been issued. There are numerous discussions on the web describing this issue as on going with many model years on Pathfinders and some infinity models.
