Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I was driving at a slow rate of speed when I felt and heard a noise in the steering column and brake pedal. Upon further inspection I saw the driver side strut tower had broken loose from the welds on the frame causing the tower to become dislodged from the frame itself.”

NHTSA complaint #10414368, filed 2011-07, 255,000 miles

“The contact owns a 1999 Infiniti QX4. The contact stated that while driving 40 MPH she heard a rattling and squeaking noise. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis but the failure was unable to be duplicated. Four months later the brake light illuminated and the vehicle was taken to a personal mechanic for diagnosis. The contact was informed that the strut housing tower dropped and damaged the brake line, causing brake fluid to drain out of the vehicle. …”
