| Description of the problem | I have made repeated complaints to victory nissan in richmond virginia about this vehicle. I have also contacted nissan directly and they never even addressed the letter i sent them december, 2001. My truck has experienced drive train vibrations since i purchased it at 6900 miles. Despite the dozens of technical bulletins addressing this problem, i have repeatedly been told that nothing can be done to help my vehicle. When the center bearing was finally discovered to be bad, the delearship replaced it and the shimmy i originally had was then magnified to an atrocious harmonic hum. Riding in my truck is liking riding on a washing machine. I have been advised by the dealership not to haul loads or tow as the vibrations would get worse. I have experienced this for myself, and they are much worse when towing. My vehicle in no way serves the purpose for which i purchased it and i have been cast aside and ignored by nissan since my car was only 11 months old. I am fed up and i think everyone should know what a terrible vehicle this is!*ak |
