problem #2

Jan 172003

Altima 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 33,500 miles
The sway bar doesn't stabilize the vehicle. When driving the vehicle it bounces sideways, there noise when going over bumps (possible bent strut), and bounces sideways. The rear seat behind the driver collapsed upon the impact of the accident. The cruise control didn't appear to cancel when the vehicle was out of control. The cruise control is fine when driving straight, but if the vehicle swerves, the vehicle goes out of control. The antenna squeaked-was greased, the wipers are wrong-replaced, and the vehicle made a humming noise when accelerated. Scc

When the brake is applied the seat moves forward in the track on one side of the track. This results in an uncomfortable shift and small jolt from the left side of the seat moving approximately 1 inch on the track
