| Description of the problem | Nissan 350z has a problem that leads to premature wear on tires. I have a 2004 350z and it is exhibiting same failure as 2003. Tires are making a noise that has to lead to ultimately a compromise of the tire intergrity. Nissan answer so far , spend $700 every 6 months, by changing tires and realign all wheels.... At my expense!!! This is a consumer product failure , potentialy a safety problem, and nissan is not appropriately addressing the issue. They had the same problem in 2003 350z and all i can say , same problem in the 2004 model year car. Need help .. Nissan is not providing a solution> |
