  I was driving along on the freeway after replacing the rear control arms as those were rusted out as well and the driver side wheel started wobbling so I pulled over with the family in it to look, and the bearing had come loose after fixing the bearing at a shop nearby driving down the road. It still felt like it was wobbling brought it into the shop looked underneath, and the subframe is actually cracked, though it states that this recall had been complete completed.

  IT HAD A RECALL WHEN I WENT TO THE NISSAN THEY TOLD ME IT WAS ALREADY GOT THAT SERVICE IN OTHER DEALER BY THE FIRST OWNER. I TOLD THEM THE VEHICLE WAS DOING THE SAME THAT THE RECALL SAID AND THAT THE NISSAN TOLD ME TO GO THERE. SO THEY TOLD ME THEY CANT HELP ME BECAUSE MY TRUCK ALREADY GOT THE SERVICE. SO NOW IM AFRAID TO USE IT BECAUSE IS DANGEROUS AND NOBODY KNOW HOW TO HELP ME AND ALSO THE SCANNER DOESN'T GIVE US ANY TROUBLE CODE. IT ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE ITS LOOK LIKE ELECTRIC PROBLEM WHEN I SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE AND START IT AGAIN THE PROBLEM IS GONE. ABOUT THE OTHER PROBLEM IS THE SAME SIGNALS THAT SAY THE RECALL. AT FIRST I THOUGHT WAS THE FUEL PUMP BUT I REALIZE IT HAVE TO HAPPEN FREQUENTLY AND ISNT, THEM I REALIZE IT HAVE TO BE ELECTRIC PROBLEM BC THAT HAPPEN FIRST THEM THE BREAK ISSUE SO IM PRETTY SURE IS ELECTRICAL OR THE SUV COMPUTER.

  I WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION WITH A STOP LIGHT WHAT WAS RED. THERE WERE 4 CARS AHEAD OF ME. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES, MY FEET ALSO HIT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AT THE SAME TIME.

THE OTHER TIME WAS A SIMILAR SITUATION WHERE I WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN. FORTUNATELY, NO ONE WAS IN FRONT OF ME. IN BOTH INCIDENTS, I WAS WEARING WESTERN STYLE BOOTS.
