Consumer Description
Rear right control arm broke away from the frame. My mechanic said this was due to corrosion due to salt. The Nissan dealer said a selective “ service campaign was conducted but was only for certain VIN’s in certain states. I live in one of those states but was told corrective action had to do with the original delivery destination for the car but not the final delivery location ( Medina, OH). I’ve read the same issues have occurred over and over but Nissan refuses to acknowledge it is widespread. The say it has only affected .003 % of cars. This number is low because most people don’t know they have an issue until it’s too late. At a minimum an inspection needs to be performed on all 2013 Altima’s to determine if there is an issue.
