| Description of the problem | At about 1200 to 1500 rpms the vehicle starts to vibrate throughout the steering wheel. When sitting in traffic for 30 minutes and driving within that range your hand becomes numb. When i started to do research on it appears that alot of people are having the same problem and the new york times even wrote an article about it. You have to drive the car over 50 mph to avoid it. That leads to speeding where i live. Nissan is aware of the problem and they indicated that some people are more sensitive to the issue than other people. I took the car and the dealer indicated refer to you article because we can't fix it. I think it's absurd my vehicle has 2100 miles on it and i've never owned a car that does this. You have to move your hands off the wheel because they go numb. I was told drive faster or take a different route to work. |
