problem #2

Jul 152000

Maxima

  • miles
At 60 mph, there is constant, agrivated vibration on the front end (steering wheel, floor, pan, peddles, and seats). I feel the vibration come down my wrists, arms, up to my shoulder. I consider this a safety hazard as it can distract me from being fully alert and attentive to traffic. I have taken the car to the dealer and they have not been able to fix the problem. This is the worst new car that I have ever purchased.

problem #1

Maxima

  • miles
Since car first picked up from dealer, front end vibrates at highway speeds (65-70mph). Returned to dealer 3 times to correct problem. Problem still exists. Dealer cut rotors, rotated and balanced tires several times, replaced all tires and problem remains. Report filed with Nissan (file # 3027068). Test drove another 2000 Maxima and problem was not there. Waiting for Nissan to contact dealer to continue the trouble shooting of the problem.
