Trans axle snapped in half, taking suspension and steering knuckle with it
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.
I was driving, car started to fishtail, heard loud noise got out and looked under car and control arm was completely broken. luckily i wasnt on the highway or it could have been a serious accident.
I went to turn into a parking lot, heard a loud thump from the back of the car and when i looked under the rear end my sway bar was broken off on the drivers side. 2 months prior to this happening my right side broke while i was backing up.
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 ...
Driving down city street 30mph. car started pulling back and forth. was able to slow car and guide it into the nearest parking lot. glad i wasn't on faster roads as total loss of control could have been possible. once parked i got out to examine vehicle and rear driver side was sitting very low on the wheel. looked under vehicle and saw lower control arm broken apart.
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.
Made a right turn at the intersection after stopping for the red light felt like the car hit a chuck hole but didn't see no chuck hole car started to shake violently had trouble controlling vehicle managed to pull over in a parking lot and notice that the left rear wheel was at an angle had vehicle towed to repair shop where we found the left rear lower control arm had broke off from its pivot point upon further inspection found that the right rear lower control arm was cracked on the same pivot point
Rear suspension control arm failure. left back driver side. rusted and broke.
Rear control arms prone to extreme corrosion. to the point the already paper thin metal is breaking under normal stress. both instances occurred in a driveway with vehicle in reverse.
I just purchase this vehicle through nissan two months ago and it only has 2000 miles on it. since i had the car my car makes like a clicking popping noise when i turn my wheel while hitting bumps. so i looked at reviews and people have complained about it with the 2019 nissan altima and there happening with the 2020 too... i spent a lot of money for this vehicle and feel like this needs to be recall because i can see that only not the only one that has complained about the situation.... it feels like my wheel is going to fall off it's that loud...
