I purchased my 2010 Nissan Maxima on 12/17/15 and I feel like it's been trying to kil me ever since I bought it. The steering pulls me all over the road I always have to hold on with two hands and fight to keep it in my lane. When it's raining, it's twice as bad, you feel like your driving on glass. It keeps wearing down and blowing out my right front tire. I've had to buy 3 new tires so far and I can't afford to keep buying a new tire every few months. I've had to the mechanic twice, they can;t find andthing wrong. I just recently put 4 brand new tires on my car because they told me maybe it's my tires not all having the same wear. Nothing has changed, it still keeps pulling me all over the place, I have to fight the steering wheel especially in turns, it yanks me so close to other cars. It's very disappointing to have a new car that you can't even injoy. Instead I worry about my life every time I get behind the wheel. Is there anything that can be done to fix this problem? If so let me know, so I can let my mechanic know. I'm so disappointed in this car, I wish so badly I would have purchased a different vehicle.
Update from Jul 8, 2016: Update, after much research, I found that the 2009 & 2010 Maxima has a recall on the struts. They are cracking and causing the exact problems I have. I can't wait to get it to a dealer, the paper work said they will replace both struts at no charge. I do believe in prayers, Thank You Jesus !!!!!
