TIRES
JAN 03 THE BRAKES WOULD SQUEAL LOUDLY WHEN BRAKING IN COLD WEATHER. THE TWO FRONT TIRES CONTINUALLY LOST AIR AND NEEDED TO BE REFILLED EVERY 3-4 WEEKS. UPON DEALER INSPECTION, NOTHING WAS FOUND WRONG. UPON RECALL NOTICE OF THE GROWLING OF THE TIRES (AROUND APRIL 04) THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE TWO FRONT TIRES WERE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE BROUGHT BACK TWICE DUE TO THE ALIGNMENT BEING DONE INCORRECTLY (STEERING WHEEL WAS CROOKED AND SLIP & VDC OFF LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED).SINCE THE TIRE REPLACEMENT, THE TWO NEW FRONT TIRES STILL LOSE AIR AND NEED TO BE FILLED UP EVERY 2-3 WEEKS NOW. THE TIRES OCCASIONALLY SQUEAL LOUDLY WHEN BRAKING. DEC 04 THE DASHBOARD WAS LIT UP WITH THE FOLLOWING WARNING LIGHTS:1. BRAKES 2. VDC OFF 3. SLIP UPON TOWING THE VEHICLE INTO NISSAN (BECAUSE THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE WENT MYSTERIOUSLY FLAT AGAIN), NISSAN DEALER HAS ADVISED THAT THE FRONT BRAKE PADS ARE WORN THROUGH TO LESS THAN 10% AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. THEY ALSO REPORTED THE FRONT TIRES HAD NO HOLES AND THE TIRE BEADING WAS FINE. THEY SUGGESTED THE TIRES GO LOW AND THE WARNING INDICATOR SOUNDS BECAUSE IT IS A SENSITIVE CAR. IT IS MY PERSONAL THEORY THAT THE VEHICLE HAS A DESIGN FLAW WITHIN THE SUSPENSION AND THE VEHICLE IS ALSO PLACING TOO MUCH WEIGHT AND PRESSURE ON THE FRONT TIRES WHICH HAS CAUSED: 1. GROWLING 2. FRONT TIRES TO LOSE AIR 3. BRAKES TO WEAR UNREASONABLY FAST 4. SQUEALING WHEN BRAKING. THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN SATISFACTORY IN THEIR RESPONSES OR SUGGESTIONS. THE VEHICLE IS IN THE DEALER NOW; I REQUESTED THEY GIVE ME THE WORN BRAKE PADS WHEN I PICK UP THE CAR. *JB

ENGINE
THE DATE IS WHEN I RECEIVED MY CAR FROM THE BODY SHOP AFTER 3-CAR WRECK. DROVE IT TO WORK AND THE CAR HAD NO POWER TO CLIMB A HILL. CALLED INSURANCE COMPANY, TOOK IT BACK THEY DID NO REPAIRS TO THE ENGINE, SO IT WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP. SHORTLY AFTERWARDS THE CAR WASN'T DOWNSHIFTING PROPERLY, THEN IT STARTED MAKING A SOUND LIKE IT WAS STUCK IN A SPIN CYCLE AND SHOOT OUT CAUSING THE CAR TO GO FASTER. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP NOTHING. SO WITH THE CAR DOING THE SPIN CYCLE AND SHOOTING OUT FAST, IT STARTED MAKING THIS THUMPING NOISE FROM UNDER THE HOOD WHEN COMING TO A STOP. THIS WAS SO FREQUENT I THOUGHT THE ENGINE WAS ABOUT DROP OUT, SO I TOOK IT TO TRANSMISSION SHOP; THEY FOUND A CODE FOR AN ELECTRICAL SOLENOID AND RESET IT. I WAS INSTRUCTED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. A WEEK LATER IT DID BUT ALL THE TIME. TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, THIS TIME THEY WITNESS THE PROBLEM AND CALLED THE CORPORATION TECH'S; WHO RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE IDLE RELEARN AND ODOMETER CLUSTER (MILES OFF). THEY WERE REPLACED BUT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, INSURANCE COMPANY SENT A THIRD PARTY INSPECTOR OUT. HE FOUND OUT THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE ARE BAD AND IS NOT RELATED TO THE ACCIDENT. I CALLED NISSAN CORPORATION RECEIVED A CLAIM NUMBER, A MONTH LATER THEY CALLED TO SAY THEY ARE NOT GOING TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO CHECKOUT MY PARKING BRAKE BECAUSE THE LIGHT FOR IT DIDN'T COME ON WITH THE OLD ODOMETER CLUSTER BECAUSE I DROVE MY CAR HOME FROM THEIR SHOP AND IT WAS ENGAGED BUT NOTHING INDICATING THAT IT WAS. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT EXPLODE FROM THE WRECK EITHER AND ALSO THE CAR TIRES WILL NOT MAINTAIN THE PROPER AIR PRESSURE. HAD TO GET MY OIL RECHECK SEVERAL TIMES AFTER GETTING THE OIL CHANGED. THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE HERE IN HAWAII WITH ALL THIS TRAFFIC, STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE THE REPORT FROM THE INSPECTOR IF YOU WANT IT. *TR
