1996 Nissan Pathfinder problems

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1996 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING INSPECTED AT THE DMV, THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE REAR STRUT WAS RUSTING. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING MADE AN ABNORMAL POPPING NOISE WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THEY WERE UNSURE HOW TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST DUE TO THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 293,000.”

“CAR HAS MANY AFTER MARKET PARTS WHICH ARE OLD AND RUSTED WHICH CAUSES THE ENTIRE VEHICLE TO BREAK DOWN EVEN AFTER REPLACING MANY PARTS ALSO WHEN SEARCHING GOR PARTS ITS HARD TO FIND I HAVE TO GET PARTS FOR A 1997 NISSAN PATHFINDER WHEN MY VEHICLE IS A 1996 NISSAN PATHFINDER”

“NOTICED THERE WAS A HUG BUMP/BULGE ON A FUTURA SUPER SPORT GLS 255/70/15 TIRE ON MY SUV. THE BUMP WAS ABOUT 7 INCHES LONG AND ABOUT 1 INCH HIGHER THAN THE NORMAL TREAD. WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, NOTICED CAR WAS BOUNCY/ROCKING. TOOK IT IN TO PEP BOYS WHO SAID IT WAS A DEFECT AND REPLACED AT PRORATED RATE. I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE SPOTTED. IF THE TIRE BLEW WHILE DRIVING, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DANGEROUS. TWO DAYS AFTER HAVING THE DEFECTIVE TIRE (MENTIONED ABOVE) REPLACED, NOTICED A SECOND FUTURA SUPER SPORT GLS (PURCHASED AT THE SAME TIME) WAS SHOWING THE SAME DEFECT. THE BULGE WASN'T AS BAD BUT IT WAS STARTING TO FORM AND GROW. TOOK IT TO PEP BOYS WHO REPLACED AGAIN AT PRORATED RATE. IT SEEMS LIKE THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THESE TIRES. WHAT ARE THE CHANCES THAT OF THE 3 TIRES I BOUGHT IN 2006, 2 HAVE THE SAME MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT? I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE DEFECT IF INTERESTED. *TR”
