| Description of the problem | During a routine service i was told that the shock absorbers were in need of replacement. Since this is a critical part of the car in terms of stability and since there was only 39000 miles on the car i thought it was likely a fault in manufacture. I am a senior citizen and only drive on well paved roads and highways. I do not pull a trailer or the like. I contacted nissan about this but they declined to take action. I am concerned that this might represent a safety hazard for others who may not have this defect discovered. |
