Nissan Altima Control Arm Rust & Corrosion Investigation

We are investigating a potential lawsuit based on consumer complaints of suspension components, including the control arms, in Nissan Altima models breaking and failing due to rust and corrosion. Many consumers are reporting the same dangerous issue in their 2013 Nissan Altima vehicles. Some report that the control arms have broken while driving, causing them to lose control of the vehicle. The repair cost for this problem ranges from $600 to $2,200 and consumers have been stuck with the bill. 

​If you have had to spend your hard earned money to repair or replace a control arm on your 2013 Nissan Altima due to rust or corrosion, please call us at 
615-251-9500 or fill out the form and we'll contact you at your convenience. 
There are no fees or expenses unless we win!
