NHTSA Complaint #11222303 — 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA

I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK AT 6:15AM. THE CONTROL ARM BROKE WHILE I WAS MOVING AT 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR BECOME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL, AS IF I WERE SLIDING ON ICE, HOWEVER IT IS JUNE 2019. I WAS LUCKY THAT I WASN'T INJURED OR KILLED. THERE WERE NO CARS NEAR ME, SO I PULLED OVER. IT WOULD SEEM TO ME THAT THE STEEL CONTROL ARM HAD METAL FATIGUE OR SOME OTHER SORT OF DEFECT. I AM 60 YEARS OLD, AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN WITH ANY OTHER CAR. THE CAR DOES HAVE 165,000 MILES ON IT, ALL HIGHWAY. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN WITH A 2013 MODEL YEAR. I FEEL THAT THE NISSAN PRODUCTS ARE NOT SAFE.
