| Description of the problem | Front struts bad from the first 3 months i owned the car. All rear and front driver side were replaced under warranty, but when the passenger front failed at 50k, the dealer would not fix it under warranty. I had complained of noise while it was under warranty but the dealer said they could not reproduce the noise. Since replaced, i do not hear the noise. Nissan offered a $200. 00 service credit but the strut was $400 and should have been changed with the driver front at 3 months old. *jb |
