| Description of the problem | 1. Purchased 2004 nissan 350z march 2004. By september 2004 and with only 9,000 miles, the car was experiencing a loud grinding sound upon application of the brake. The local dealership determined this was a suspension problem causing the tires to cup or feather and wear prematurely. The local dealership replaced both front tires and did an alignment. I was told the 2003 model 350z had this problem but that it had been remedied. Obviously this problem has not been addressed properly as the same problem continues with the 2004 model. My car now has only 18,000 miles with only 9,000 of those miles on my new front tires, and the same problem has reoccurred. Customer service with nissan's 800 number says my car is beyond the 12 month/12,000 mile warranty and they won't do anything. What should my next step be? |
