2 Suspension Noise problem

Failure Date: 08/26/2010

I have a 2006 Nissan Titan king cab 4x4. Last Thursday I heard a loud bang in the back end of my truck. I looked around and didn't really notice anything. Friday I heard more noise from the back end and made and appointment to have it looked at. Saturday was more noise, but getting much worse. Sunday I went to put something in the bed of my truck and saw a hole on the back passengers side corner with a part coming through the bed. I then got underneath my truck to find that the leaf spring had broken in half and fired a piece of my suspension through the bed of my truck. I brought it to be fixed today and the mechanic said that he had seen a lot of these with a bad weld and that I should contact Nissan because he heard they were possibly going to recall them for leaf spring. I checked online and couldn't find a recall for a bad weld on a leaf spring, but I did find thousands of other people complaining about the same thing so that is why I am filing a complaint. Hopefully Nissan does something about them like Toyota is doing because they are taking care of their faulty leaf springs.
