Typical suspension symptoms owners report

Owners report the rear subframe rusting through to the point that suspension components or trailing arms broke free from the frame, sometimes making the vehicle undriveable.
Some describe rusted rear axles or wheel hubs appearing within months of purchase, well before normal wear would be expected.
Others report the front end shaking or wobbling at highway speed, with the cause traced to steering or suspension components.
Several owners noted rear tires wearing down abnormally fast, needing replacement far sooner than expected.
One owner reported tire sidewalls developing bubbles and tread breaking down after tens of thousands of miles despite regular rotation.
A few describe abnormal noises such as clunking or squeaking from the rear suspension when going over bumps or turning.

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2014 Pathfinder and Rogue vehicles and 2014 Infiniti QX60 vehicles. The right side wheels of the affected vehicles may have one lug nut each that was not properly tightened.
Risk: If the lug nut becomes loose from not being properly tightened, it may fall off, allowing the other lug nuts to become loose, possibly resulting in a wheel separation, and increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and tighten any loose lug nuts to the correct specification, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin by the end of June 2014. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.
