NHTSA Complaint #10262357 — 1996 NISSAN PATHFINDER

I JUST BOUGHT A NISSAN PATHFINDER LE 1996 - I FOUND MANY OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE REAR SUSPENSION OF THE VEHICLE (SEE POSTS: HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.COM/FORUM/AUTOS/T5LSTPR50NPCO9CTL/P7) - LOCAL MECHANIC HAS INDICATED THE REPAIR ON MINE WOULD BE AROUND $700 - $1000 - THE REAL PROBLEM IS PREMATURE WEAR OF UPPER AND LOWER REAR CONTROL ARMS BUSHINGS (THIS APPLIES TO 1996-2001 APPARENTLY). I DROVE THE VEHICLE FROM OREGON TO CALIFORNIA AND IT WAS A REAL CHALLENGE TO MANAGE THE SWAYING FROM SIDE TO SIDE - THE ONLY WAY TO MITIGATE THE CAR FROM WOBBLING IS TO EITHER REDUCE SPEED OR ACCELERATE. THIS SHOULD HAD BEEN A SAFETY RECALL FROM NISSAN INSTEAD A SERVICE BULLETIN - THE VEHICLE TURNS TO BE QUITE DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AT FREEWAY SPEED AND COULD EASILY ROLL OVER. *TR PLEASE INVESTIGATE. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE, DINO ANDRETTA YORBA LINDA, CA
