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

Open Nissan recall R1107 on this vehicle for steering and strut housing. There are visible defects relating to this recall on my vehicle. 1st contact Nissan 4/9/13. I live approx 700 miles from any dealership with no option of road system to reach dealership. I would need to ship vehicle or take ferry to major road system then drive. We have one state highway on our island. I bought this vehicle locally. This vehicle is not safe let alone drive at highway speeds to reach a dealership. At first I was basically told too bad. I asked if they were telling me I had to drive a dangerous vehicle because I lived in rural America? I was then transferred to dealership in anchorage, ak. We arranged for me to take vehicle to a mechanic locally to take detailed photos to forward to dealership to determine if vehicle was a candidate for repair or if damage was so advanced as to junk vehicle. There was back and forth contact by phone and E-mail with dealership. I was asked to provide shipping costs and later provided details on steps and costs to have the vehicle wrecked here in town. Sometime toward end of June 2013 I stopped getting updates. Nissan Corp issued a 2nd case number on 7/15 they have called every few days to say no news. 7/26/13 I got a call saying decision is I need to bring dealership. They are to call back 7/29 to tell me if I can get that in writing. Nissan has been provided 3 sets of photos that clearly show through holes in strut housing. This car is not fit to drive the distances or speeds they are asking. Nissan has allowed this vehicle stay on the roads since April even after they were provided with evidence that car is compromised and dangerous. Nissan Corp. Is allowing known dangerous vehicles to remain on roads in rural areas placing people like me in danger because it is cost and time prohibitive for owners like me to get to a dealership. This is wrong.
