| 2008 | WHEELS | I HAVE HAD MANY TRIPS TO THE DEALER AFTER PURCHASING A 08 SENTRA FOR PROBLEMS WITH THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT AS WELL AS A POPPING IN THE WHEELS. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TURNED THE PRESSURE LIGHT OFF AND SAID IT WAS FINE. IT HAS HAPPENED MORE THEN 7 TIMES. THE TIRES WERE WORN OUT BY 30K MILES I COUDN'T BELIEVE I HAD TO REPLACE THEM ALREADY. I ASLO HAD THE POPPING NOISE IN THE TIRES I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. I MOVED TO A DIFFERENT STATE AND TOOK IT FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THEY ASKED ME IF I HAD HEARD A NOISE IN THE TIRES. TO MY SURPRISE I EXPLAINED THAT I HAD HEARD IT FOR A LONG TIME BUT THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS NOTHING! THE OIL CHANGE PLACE TOLD ME THAT THE TOP STRUT MOUNTS WERE SEIZED CAUSING THE SPRINGS TO BIND. NOW I WOULD HAVE HAD TO PAY OVER $1100 TO REPLACE THEM. I LUCKILY HAVE EXT WARRANTY THAT COVERS IT FOR $50. I ALSO HAVE BEEN TOLD TO REPLACE BRAKES SOON AS WELL AS THE PRESSURE VALVES IN THE TIRES. IS THIS ALL RELATED TO THE DEALERS FAILURE TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE AND NOW THIS HAS CAUSED MULTIPLE ISSUES AT 30K MILES?? OR CAN THIS BE A MANUFACTURING ISSUE WITH FAULTY EQUIPMENT? PLEASE LOOK IN TO THIS THANKS |
