Description of the problem	I own a 2004 nissan maxima. I had the tires replaced at around 30,000 miles due to "cupping" on the tires. They wore terribly and were making a terrible noise. I then had to have the right front strut and bearings replaced at 31,000 miles and now at 47,000 miles my left front strut and bearings needs replacing, which will cost me nearly $400. 00. The car has a bad vibration in the steering wheel at 50-60 miles per hour and when braking. Now, my new set of tires have worn badly and are so noisy that you cannot hold a normal conversation at freeway speed. I love the look of the car, but i cannot wait to get rid of it! It is obviously not safe if the suspension bounces you all over the road! Additionally, i have had to have the heat shield replaced once and now it needs it again. The power outlets are in the worst possible places i have ever seen. Nissan.... Please do something about this before your loyal customers pay for this flaw!
