| Description of the problem | Vehicle vibrates up through steering wheel at 2,000 rpm regardless of speed. Nissan dealer and nissan usa, inc. Have come to the conclusion that this is a "characteristic" of the vehicle and that they do not intend to repair or address in any manner. This is despite comments by the technician at middletown nissan of middletown, ct that he's never seen a nissan altima exhibit this much vibration before. I've stated that neither i or my wife feel safe in the car and are now concerned that a component of the vehicle could vibrate loose. |
