NHTSA Complaint #11228730 — 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND ON A HIGHWAY,READY TO GET ONTO A MAJOR INTERSTSTE RT295N IN NJ. I WAS GOING APROX. 45 MPH WHEN THE CAR STARTED PULLING DRASTICALLY TO MY RIGHT,I THOUGHT I HAD A FLAT TIRE. PULLED THE CAR OVER TO INSPECT, AND MY REAR PASSENGER TIRE WAS NOT FLAT BUT BENT AS IF IT WAS COMING OFF. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO A MECHANIC WHERE HE CONFIRMED THE YES IN FACT THE TIRE WAS COMING OFF! HE SAID IF I DROVE MUCH FURTHER I WOULD HAVE LOST MY TIRE IT WAS HANGING BY A RUSTY THREAD!! UPON FURTHER INSPECTION HE NOTE THE WHOLE REAR SUBFRAME IS RUSTED OUT AND I NEEDED NOT ONE BUT BOTH LOWER CONTROL ARMS REPLACE BECAUSE THE DRIVERS SIDE WAS ABOUT TO SEPARATE ALSO. THIS IS GOING TO COST ME BIG BUCK ALONG WITH A RENTAL CAR,AS THIS IS NOT SOMETHING INSURANCE WILL COVER. APPARENTLY THERRE HAVE BEEN MANY ISSUES WITH THIS MODEL/YEAR CAR EXACTLY THE SAME AS MY INCIDENT.THERE WAS NO WARNING NOR PREVIOUS SYMPTOMS TO THIS HAPPENING. I COULD HAVE BENN HURT OR KILED NOT TO MENTION SOMEONE ELSE NEAR ME ON THE ROAD! I HAVE INCLUDED PICTURES.
