2014 Nissan Altima

While driving on a state route i hit a bump in the road and immediately felt the steering wheel shift from even to the left about 45 degrees with a thumping sound . also the stability light came on. i tried to steer the car properly but encountered a pulling to the left. i pulled off the road into a lot and discovered the rear left wheel and side (driver side} was lower than the right and the wheel was tilted inward. further inspection revealed that the connection to the suspension was compromised. we had the car towed on flatbed to my local mechanic. he is located near the local nissan dealership so we hope to get it resolved with his selp. my research on your site indicated that several (1000's) of 2013 vehicles experienced this problem but not many 2014 models. i believe the problem is not just for the 2013 models and the 2014's age is about at the same time when the 2013's have failed. (6 years old). i am hoping that nissan follows suit with the 2014 models like canada did last year.

On tuesday night january 14, 2020 i do as i always do this night and drive my son to his hockey practice for 6 pm in north smithfield rhode island. we were on the highway route 295 in travel lane passing an 18 wheeler truck. when we were next to this truck it felt like a gust of wind came out of no where and pushed my 2014 nissan altima in his lane and almost hit this truck. i went to correct the wheel to move away from this and the car almost went right off the highway in a ditch. i had no idea what was going on and was able to keep the car straightened out. my son, who is 11 was scared to death. i noticed that that a light on dashboard came on that looks like a traction control light or slippery road light. where this happened, the practice we go to was next exit and right off the highway. we decided to head there since there was no safe spot to pull over in this location at night. i put the hazard light on and managed to get their slowly somehow so i could look ...

As i was driving my 2014 altima, i accelerated from a complete stop and lost control of my car and began sliding. as soon as i stopped the vehicle, i restarted and began to move forward. while only going 15 mph, the car began to shake, i stopped the vehicle and notice the rear driver side tire was not aligned correctly. after being towed and upon further review, it was determined that my lower rear control arm had snapped off from the bolt on the driver side. after looking into this, the rear passenger control arm was determined to have a severe crack on both the top and bottom sides.
