Owner Complaints (6)
Your rear passenger wheel has been rattling for a year and recently caused your car to fishtail at 35 mph. When you checked it, the wheel was pointing inward instead of straight ahead, suggesting the rear control arm may have broken. This is a known issue with a service campaign, but Nissan is no longer covering the repair cost even though you weren't notified about the problem. Fixing this will likely require replacing the control arm and having the wheel alignment checked.
