Consumer Description

I'VE BEEN HAVING THIS CLACKING NOISE IN THE RIGHT REAR OF MY CAR. I WENT TO 2 AUTO REPAIR PLACES TO TRY TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. EVERY TIME I WENT OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD ON THE RIGHT SIDE...CLICK CLACK, CLICK CLACK. FINALLY, DIAGNOSED AS CRACK IN CONTROL ARM. IT IS AT KELLY NISSAN NOW. I DO HAVE A BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY FROM WARRANTY DIRECT. HOWEVER, I AM HOPING THAT NISSAN WILL FIX AT NO COST TO ME, SINCE THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. I WAS TOLD I SHOULDN'T BE DRIVING THE CAR BECAUSE IT WAS TOO DANGEROUS. ALSO, I REPORTED THIS TO NISSAN .I HOPE NO ONE GETS INJURED DUE TO THIS DEFECT. I WAS LUCKY.
