Description of the problem	Since new this car has had a serious handling issue. It did arrive new with defective tires. New tires were installed, problem caused by tires was know gone. However, the car still handled very poorly at speeds over 65 mph. The handling is so bad that i feel it is dangerous at freeway speeds. Handling is a very subjective complaint, and because it is, i do not feel that this is being treated the way it should be. The may issue of popular mechanics describes this issue perfectly. "against the competition the altima feels disjointed, as if different engineering teams had calibrated the steering, suspension, and powertrain without talking to one another. When we pitched the car hard into a corner, for instance, the light steering made us wonder if we'd be able to complete the turn. We found that the body bobs and weaves during a hard run through the canyons, leaving the driver without confidence in its handling.' i have contacted nissan, and i truly believe this is a very serious issue that needs to be addressed before someone is injured or worse.
