2003 Nissan Pathfinder Suspension Problems

“While driving 2003 Nissan Pathfinder I hit pothole on a city street, heard loud bang, shortly after completely lost all braking abilities, upon bringing my vehicle home and examining I notice the right front strut housing had separated from frame snapping the brake line on the right front. Appears to be the same corrosion issue as the recall on the left front strut housing.”

“At speeds over 50 MPH the car begins to wobble, have been told this is a common problem involing faulty trailing arm bushing/ rear arm bushing and bearing need to be replaced causing what is coommonly known as the death wobble. But lets up when you let up off the gas? To me this a major safety issue! That many have had this problem, that I have found on on line forums.. Why hasn't Nissan recalled this issue?”

“Nhtsa campaign number 11v244000 the strut housing corroded on the front drivers side wheel on my 2003 Nissan Pathfinder when I was driving down the highway. Had problem with steering being hard to turn I have found a recall on this problem but being that I live in texas they will not accept this recall.”

“Recently discovered a serious problem that frequently shows itself when driving at higher speeds (over 45) and one hits a bump or small pot hole the vehicle suddenly develops an extreme wobble making it very hard to control. I suddenly was in an adjacent lane and was almost hit. Doing some research on the internet it seems to be a common problem and even has been given a name. It's referred to as the death wobble. If one quickly slow down to wobble will go away. I was told by several mechanics don't drive on the highway you'll stand a good chance of flipping the vehicle. …”

“Open Nissan recall r1107 on this vehicle for steering and strut housing. There are visible defects relating to this recall on my vehicle. 1st contact Nissan 4/9/13. I live approx 700 miles from any dealership with no option of road system to reach dealership. I would need to ship vehicle or take ferry to major road system then drive. We have one state highway on our island. I bought this vehicle locally. This vehicle is not safe let alone drive at highway speeds to reach a dealership. At first I was basically told too bad. …”
