1 Front Suspension Control Arm problem

Failure Date: 10/14/2019

20013 Nissan Sentra with less than 75k miles. Making a left turn and heard a loud pop. Left front ball joint broke off the lower control arm causing the control arm to smash through the tire rim and rip out the axle from the transmission. My vehicle was traveling at less than 5 mph (thank god!) I would not have reported this but I saw the same thing happened to another car. I jacked it up immediately and car was flatbedded to mechanic and control arms on both sides, ball joints and axle was replaced.

2 Front Suspension Control Arm problem

Failure Date: 08/09/2019

I was backing out of a parking space and heard a pop, I was concerned so I pulled forward to see if I heard anything else. My car moved forward about a food and came to a grinding halt. My control arm disconnected from the wheel causing my wheel to slide into my wheel well and pull the axle out of place. Had I been driving at speed like some other folks I have heard of, I would be dead or injured seriously. When I confronted Nissan they said there's nothing we can do and we're absolutely rude in the service center. I have gotten it fixed but I do not feel safe because what if this happens on another wheel??.
