Q: Car hard to control

asked by on February 11, 2016

The car is moving all over the road.

There appears to be a lot of problems with that year Pathfinder, and Nissan has generated a Technical Service Bulletin that indicated a problem with the rear upper and lower link bushings that need to be replaced. I would recommend having a technician from YourMechanic come out and replace the bushing(s) as needed.
