“I have a 2005 Infiniti QX56. On april 5, 2007 I got on the ramp to the highway and at the entrance of highway suddenly the car's driver size front suspension broke. This sudden mechanical defect caused the car spun out of control at 6:30 pm in afternoon traffic than it was rear-ended by the car behind which caused 4 car collision.”
NHTSA complaint #10190152, filed 2007-05, 33,000 miles“Driver side front suspension spring completely broken and colapsed leaving the car only supported by the driver absorber shock. The left front end is leaning 2 inches lower than usual. I assume this a hazard and could cause a vehicle to loose control and accidents.”
