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 [redacted] 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…

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…

While driving on a residential street at roughly 30mph, my vehicle suddenly pulled dramatically to the right, pretty much against my control of the steering wheel. I thought the car had been knocked out of alignment though i hadn't hit a bump. I proceeded home, approximately at 10-15 mph. I made an appt to my local garage and limped there. When my car was hoisted onto the lift i was told to come into the service…

The driver side coil spring, which is part of the front suspension, broke. This part uses almost 3/8 inch steel, and when it breaks under compression, can cause serious damage, and potential vehicle stability issues on the highway. The vehicle involved is only 4 years old with 44000 miles, which is not much mileage on this vehicle. This part should not have failed and is considered a defect in my opinion. We were…

Headlamps are very dim while driving at night. Control arms are loose, i'm guessing the result of the 2 flaps on each side.underneath the car keeps coming loose even after replacing plastic screws. No accidents have occurred.

I bought the car last year and it has only been about 13 months. About three months ago, i noticed that there was a kind of jerk when i would start off a stop light and accelerate. First thinking it was not a great deal, i kept going however i noticed it that it was becoming more constant. One day about to reverse out of a parking lot, i put the car in reverse, and the car turned off. There was no response at all…

I have only had my car for about 15 months and i bought it brand new. So about a month ago i noticed that there was a jerk when i would push on the gas when coming from a complete stop. One time my car even slightly slid and the tire light came on. I took my car to the dealership once that happened but they said that the only issue they saw was that my wheels were unbalanced. I still experience this issue from time…
