2004 Nissan 3 Series suspension problems

“WHILE MAKING A NORMAL LEFT TURN THROUGH AN INTERSECTION MY CAR BEGAN TO SPIN. AFTER A COMPLETE 360 DEGREE SPIN AND SMACK INTO A CURB, THERE WAS SLIGHT DAMAGE TO LEFT REAR EXTERIOR WHEEL WELL. THIS ALIGNMENT ISSUE AND PREMATURE TIRE WEAR PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED. SOMEONE HAS TO DO SOMETHING. UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS TO DO A COMPLETE 360 SPIN OUT IS RIDICULOUS. I AM LUCKY NO ONE SMACKED INTO ME AFTER I STOPPED. I HAVE HAD MY TIRES REPLACED TWICE ON THE RIGHT REAR AND ONCE ON THE LEFT REAR BECAUSE OF THE INNER TIRE WEAR. I HAVE HAD AN ALIGNMENT DONE ALSO. ALL THIS WAS PRIOR TO MY SPIN OUT. SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT WITH THIS CAR. ANY ANSWERS, SOLUTIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS? I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM I AM HAVING. ARE YOU EVEN DOING ANYTHING WITH THESE COMPLAINTS? FROM WHAT EVERYONE ELSE HAS WRITTEN, NO ONE HAS DONE A THING. THERE ARE NO RECALLS OR ANYTHING FOR THIS ISSUE. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE WINDS UP GETTING HURT FROM THIS. OBVIOUSLY THE DEALERSHIP WONT DO A THING IT WILL BE WAY TOO COSTLY FOR THEM. BUT FOR MINE AND THE REST OF THE DRIVERS ON THE ROADS SAFETY, MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN.…”

“FRONT END MIS-ALIGNED AT FACTORY CAUSING SEVERE CUPPING OF FRONT TIRES AT 13,000 MILES. FRIEND HAD SAME PROBLEM. I HAD CAR INTO DEALER 2 WEEKS BEFORE. DEALER DID NOT SAY ANYTHING IN SPITE OF SAFETY CHECK. MATTER OF TIME BEFORE A BLOWOUT. AFTER I FOUND THE PROBLEM, DEALER ALIGNED FRONT END AND PRO-RATED REPLACEMENT TIRES. I WROTE A LETTER TO NISSAN. CUSTOMER SERVICE SAYS NO RECALL PLANNED. VERY DANGEROUS. *TR”

“I HAVE AN 2004 350Z TOURING. I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH 16,,000 MILES ON IT. NOW, IT HAS 30000 MILES ON IT. IN THE 14000 MILE RANGE THE TIRES ON THE FRONT FEATHERED COMPLETELY DUE TO SEVER NEGATIVE CAMBER. TOOK VEHICLE TO VICTORY NISSAN OF RICHMOND SEVERAL TIMES, AND THEY ONLY ALIGNED THE CAR AND CHARGE ME FOR IT. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT ON 6/20/2007 TO GO TO DEALER AND WILL DEMAND NEW TIRES AS THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. *AK”

“UNEVEN TIRE WEAR IN FRONT, LEADING TO REPEATED UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS UNNOTICED BY DRIVER BECAUSE IT IS INSIDE FRONT TIRES. NISSAN ADMITTED PROBLEM, PERFORMED AN ALIGNMENT THAT DID NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM AND NOW WILL NO LONGER RETURN MY CALLS. *JB”

“FRONT SUSPENSION, I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN 350Z AND WHEN DRIVING THERE IS A LOUD RUMBLE. I PULLED THE FRONT TIRES AND FOUND THAT BOTH TIRES HAVE WEAR ON THE INSIDE. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS. *NM”

“I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN 350Z WHICH HAS HAD REPEATED "FEATHERING" OF THE FRONT TIRES. I HAVE RESPONDED TO THE APRIL 2004 TBA NOW THREE (3) TIMES. THE FIRST TWO TIMES, NISSAN CLAIMED TO HAVE RESOLVE THE PROBLEM AND REPLACED THE FRONT TIRES. THE LAST TIME (WHICH WAS LESS THAN 5000 MILES AGO), NISSAN AGAIN CLAIMED TO HAVE ALIGNED THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM HAS NOW RETURNED. THERE IS NO SPECIFIC DATE FOR THIS INCIDENT SINCE, EVIDENTLY, IT IS OCCURRING CONTINUOUSLY. *JB”
