| Description of the problem | Front struts have been replaced and were in need of a third set. With 37000 miles the dealer said this set was my responsibility and they won't warranty them. They plaid down the problem. Anyone that did any research on this problem knew it was a design defect. Nissan also knew and failed to do the right thing. *ak |
