| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Nissan 350z 2003 front suspension issue - tires are feathering because of bad setup in front suspension. this problem surfaced after about 5000 miles on the car in the form of a low rumbling noise when slowing down. this noise slowly got worse until i took the car in and niacin said the tires were defective. i was given a new set of tires that were not feathered and the problem went away until i reached another 5000 miles, at which point, the noise resurfaced. i once again, took it into niacin, who was very good about recognizing that there was a problem, and brought up the fact that the original issue was most likely not defective tires but a poor setup of some kind that was causing the feathering. they agreed and said a bulletin had been sent out about this issue. the solution, they said, was to switch the tires, re-calibrate something with the suspension, and the tires would eventually even out. i have only driven 3000 miles since this fix, but the noise is still apparent, and i believe there is still an issue in the front suspension. i feel that niacin has been very good to me about addressing issues as they come up, but if this is a bigger problem, i really feel that niacin should recall rhe front suspension and address the deeper problem. i can't keep replacing my tires every 5000 miles. *la |
