The lower control arm corroded from road salt. The control armed snapped from the bushing while I was driving!!. the control arm completely snapped from the bushing. There is a service campaign for this, but Nissan claims my VIN does not fall unto this known problem. My vehicle is in nh, and has been in this state that uses road salt since day one. I have no idea why my vehicle does is not covered under the service campaign. I am in one of the 22 states that is designated as a salt state and is mentioned in the service campaign bulletin. This is a real safety concern. I was driving approximately 40 mph when the control arm snapped. My vehicle spun 180 degrees. If this happened on the highway at a higher rate of speed, things would have been worse.

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Altima. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 mph, the rear passenger side suspension arm fractured causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who determined the rear suspension arm failed due to rusting and corrosion. The passenger's side rear arm was replaced and the failure was remedied. The contact indicated that the driver side rear arm was also corroded and rusted but not replaced. Country Nissan (40 russell street, hadley, MA 01035) and the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 106,000.

Rear links, the dealer told me the suspension could break at any moment. Repair cost me $440 and they refuse to reimburse me stating cutting off rusted components was not related to the fix. Campaign id is P9324

Suggested that I replace control arms on my 2013 Nissan Altima at 79,000 miles. I saw there was a "service alert" not recall by Nissan to replace these in "salt states". I live in Florida near the water, and there is water in the air here. Arms are cracking, corroding. Would like Nissan to pay for the replacement. Maas bros. Nissan in new port richey fl suggested the repair...over $1000.

While driving on a highway, my Nissan Altima starting making noise from the rear and the car feel going to the left by itself. After I stopped I found the rear control arm which holds the spring part broke apart. This is very dangerous.

- East Rutherford, NJ, USA

Both rear control arms have cracked and need to be replaced. The first was at about 125,000 miles and the second was 137,000 miles. Many people have told me this is an issue with 2012-13 Nissan Altima's and some have had Nissan reimburse them for the cost of the repair, which is quite expensive.

Nissan Altima 2013 left rear lower suspension control arm broke off while driving straight on the highway. The car swerved violently to the right. It could of ended horribly but luckily no one was hurt. This is totally unacceptable and absolutely not safe. Nissan needs to look into this!!

I was making a left turn and I heard a pop and pulled over and as I put it in park my traction control light came on so I went out to inspect what happened, checked the front normal, when to the rear noticed my driver side wheel is turned in, went under the car to look and noticed my rear lower control arm rusted and snapped off the bolt that connects it to the body.

- Hollis, NY, USA

Rear steering line rusted separated from the car frame. Car was backing out of the driveway when it broke free from the frame. This was on recall in the salt states and I live in Michigan but they stated my VIN was originally sold in California but I have owned it since 2014 in Michigan.

I received a service recall notice in the mail from Nissan toward the end of 2019 regarding the rear lower link on our 2013 Altima. I scheduled an appointment and took the car in for repair at the local dealership. I received a call from the service technician alerting me that in order to gain access to the rear lower link and perform the repair, they would have to first remove bolts, nuts, and other parts, which could inadvertently become damaged. The technician went on to say these parts were not covered and that I was responsible for all associated costs. I also learned the frame and suspension had excessive corrosion, which was suprising. We bought the car from a previous owner in Delaware, and it was only in the northern climate for less than 2 years, and down in Florida since. I contacted the escalation hotline at Nissan and requested assistance to cover these costs. My request was denied. My belief is that Nissan produced the 2013 Altima with inferior parts and components, and should be on the hook for all costs in order to complete this service recall. Failure to complete this repair could jeapardise our ability to control the vehicle and overall safety. Can you please assist?

Last week I had a catastrophic failure of a rear control arm while driving 50 miles an hour costing me 700 dollars in repair with a used part as an emergency fix. Rear passenger side. Today after having by car back the drivers side rear control arm snapped this time while driving on a road in town at 25 miles an hour. These cars are certain to get someone killed if Nissan doesn't address them. I am furious and scared to drive this vehicle. I know thousands of complaints have been made. I need something done about this.

- Bethlehem, NH, USA

Driving down the road, hear a pop and get out to look, rear passenger control arm corroded to the point it is broken right off the center to which it was attached.

- Fiskdale, MA, USA

I was driving down the road about 35 mph. Without warning, the car started to sway and I almost lost control. I pulled over to check the tires and everything looked ok. I started to drive and as I got up to 20 mph it started to shake violently. This is a very dangerous situation and needs immediate attention.

My 2013 Nissan Altima is inoperable due to a broken corroded rear wheel suspension link. The lower arm broke while I was driving the vehicle. I immediately noticed that the rear of the vehicle started to slide almost like I was driving in icey conditions, however the roads were clear. The anti skid sensor also lit up on the vehicle control panel. Once I pulled over and looked under the vehicle, I could see the rear wheel arm was broken, causing the tire to lean heavily to the side. The vehicle was towed to a repair shop in which I was informed about the recall P9324. I was told to contact a local Nissan repair shop to get the repairs fixed under the recall. I followed the recommendation and contacted the local Nissan repair shop. After talking with a technician, he confirmed their wad a recall and I made arrangements for the vehicle to be towed there. Since then I was told by the same shop that my vehicle is not a vehicle that falls under the recall. I researched the recall and found that Nissan is campaigning to alert 2013 Nissan Altima owners located in cold weather states of the malfunctioning part do to corrosion from salt used in snow removal. I live in Minnesota and purchased the vehicle in Minnesota. The exact part the Nissan is campaigning to be replaced has broken due to corrosion, however, Nissan refuses to cover the repair costs and claims my vehicle doesn't fall under the recall. I do believe this broken part causes a safety risk as it occured while I was driving on a city street. The damage affected my ability to control the vehicle as the rear end was swerving due to the tire becoming detached from its original position.

I was drinking out of a parking lot onto the city street I don't believe I hit anything. As I was driving I heard a scrapping noise from the rear area of my car as I proceeded out of the parking lot. As I was in motion going home I felt the car driving a bit different like I was driving with a flat tire. I stopped got out checked my tires everything seemed fine. I continued on slowly and quietly to listen to my car this time I felt like my car was driving off track like my steering wheel was straight but my car was slowly going a different direction. As I made it home I parked and looked at my car again from every angle this time I noticed the problem. My rear passenger tire was going facing inward. I look under my car from the back and I notice something was hanging like a pipe.

- White Lake, MI, USA

Driving down city street 30mph. Car started pulling back and forth. Was able to slow car and guide it into the nearest parking lot. Glad I wasn't on faster roads as total loss of control could have been possible. Once parked I got out to examine vehicle and rear driver side was sitting very low on the wheel. Looked under vehicle and saw lower control arm broken apart.
