Chassis control system fault

[Sally86]

Hi,

I own a Qashqai 2014 1.2 petrol model. Yesterday, when I was driving home from work, I did a slow, sharp turn left and the car swerved and stopped. I thought I had hit something, but when I checked, there was nothing on the road. An hour later, after restarting the car, the chassis control fault light came on. 
 

I am not sure if something failed and made me swerve like that. I have booked the car in at Nissan to check, but that’s next week. Is the car still safe to drive? What could the problem be? 
 

Thanks.

Could be an ABS issue?  Let us know how it goes as interested to see what the fault is

I must’ve hit the kerb hard and knocked the back wheel out of place. Kwik Fit re-aligned the wheel and the message has disappeared. I will book it in at Nissan to check, because the wheel isn’t fully straight.

Let us know how you get on with that

I had to replace the rear subframe which cost £700, but now the brake pedal feels spongy and very weak.

That is not right if the brakes are spongy and should be returned to rectify the fault
