| Description of the problem | Nissan 350z vin [xxx] at approx. 7700 miles car displayed roaring noise when braked. Noise became louder and consistent at low speed as mileage increased. Dealer (troy nissan in trot, al.) showed me cupping/uneven wear on inside of front tires. As previous owner of 2003 nissan 350z, i recognized the problem. Repeated calls to nissan corporate met with response that nissan does not admit problem exists in 2004 model and refuses to replace tires as the was the practice with 2003 model. Believe this will constitute safety hazard as these cars get older and that nissan must step up to the problem. *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S.
