| Description of the problem | I have a 2004 350z roadster with the feathering problem. At first, it appears to be a break problem. The nissan dealer did not cover this under warrenty even though it is covered until 12,000 miles. The stated that. " the right front may be damaged and that i needed to take it to a body shop and have the frame bent". I took it to a tire dealer and they told me it was out of alignment. My front tires were replaced and a front end alignment done at 11,000 miles. Only six months later at 16,500 the noise is still there. I took it to a differerent nissan dealer and they stated the alignment was wayyyy off. They did a 4 wheel alignment. I was again charged $70. 00. I called nissan northamerica and althought they were responsive and talked to the dealer...... They ( nissan ) calm this is not a problem with the 2004. I took the car back a week later stating that it pulled to the right a little ( there is a tsb on this ). The dealer said it was do the low tire pressure. Hmm they just had it in last week and this week the tires are already low? The checked the alignment and stated it was ok. The car drives ok... But the noise is still there especially at 20 to 30 when breaking. Only time will tell but i am not satisfied nissan is doing what is needed to fix this problem. Tires don't wear out with 11,000 miles. |
