| Description of the problem | The first day after receiving the car and getting onto the highway i noticed the vehicle would exhibit harsh vibrations. It was too much vibration to be tolerated. I scheduled an appointment with my local service dealer they rotated and balanced the tires, adjusted the steering rack (a tsb issued) and found my front passenger side strut had blown. I had to drive a whole month with a blown strut to wait for parts to get in and it was very dangerous. The violent vibrations were still not taken care of. That was the first trip. When i finally went in to get the strut fix they balanced my tires yet again. This seem to eliminate the vibrations from 45-55, but at 60-80+ mph there were still violent vibrations and the intensity had not been lessened. I am scheduled for yet another appointment specifically to fix the vibrations. I do not want to go in for a 4th time and have nothing fixed. I am extremely disappointed with the situation, the vehicle, and nissan for letting such an issue as this get so large. Having subscribed on many forums online, ive noticed that i am not the only one with these issues. *jb |
