NHTSA Complaint #11412873 — 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER

THE FRONT PASSENGER CONTROL ARM SNAPPED FREE FROM THE SUBFRAME WHILE SITTING AT A STOP SIGN. I HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND HAD NO IDEA WHAT IT WAS UNTIL I STARTED DRIVING AND FELT AN ISSUE IN THE STEERING. WHEN I WENT UNDERNEATH TO LOOK, I REALIZED THAT THE ENTIRE CONTROL ARM ASSEMBLY WAS COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE SUBFRAME. WHEN LOOKING ONLINE FOR A POSSIBLE RECALL, I REALIZED THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHERE SOMETHING SIMILAR HAS HAPPENED. THIS IS CLEARLY NOT A WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE AND NO WAY SHOULD THIS EVER HAPPEN. THIS IS SOMETHING THE MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO FIX! I HOPE SOMETHING IS DONE SOON BEFORE IT HAPPENS TO SOMEONE ELSE!! OF COURSE MY CAR ISN'T UNDER WARRANTY ANYMORE SO NOW I AM STUCK WITH A $3,000 BILL DUE TO NO FAULT OF MY OWN, AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY CAN'T HELP ME EITHER. PLEASE ADD THIS TO YOUR RECALL LIST...THIS IS SO DANGEROUS!!!!!
