Since purchasing this vehicle, I've had complained about the alignment (taken to deal and numerous other places) it has been aligned, tires rotated, balanced, etc. 7 (times) and I was told nothing was wrong hmmmm. Had to have all four tires replaced at 30,740 miles. Nissan denies its a defect on their car. I've repeatedly complained about a clunking noise in the rear (or brakes) again "no problems found--cant duplicate problem". well, now I'm told my transmission needs to be replaced. The front end "steering" if very sensitive and when making a sudden movement, the car overcompensates tossing you throughout the cab. Cd and radio as well as antenna motor have recently been replaced. This car is a lemon and dangerous!!!!!! I want my money back!!!!!!!

The compact disc fails to play properly. It would skip or stop playing. Also would make clicking sounds before it would eject cd. The exhaust system would make funny noises on right side. The check engine service light keeps coming on & staying. Had contacted & took vehicle to dealership. Mechanic noticed leaking out of manifold. Replaced the gaskets & the manifold.
