Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The car is becomes unstable and difficult to control when going over bumps, even at moderate speeds (20+ MPH). When going over bumps, there is a loud thump / clunk / bang from the rear suspension - and then the rear of the car looses traction/stability. Nissan must be aware of a design issue issue as it has issued a TSB trying to solve the inferior bushings it chose for the rear suspension - service bulletin ntb17-107. However this does not solve the instability problem. …”
