| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Ongoing alignment / tire feathering issues with nissan 350z i have had my tires swapped side to side several time + replacement tires and many alignments. the 350z will not stay in alignment and eats front tires every 7000-12000 miles. it wears the insides of the tires to the point of replacement with over 80% tread on the rest of the tire. they are now not performing alignments on my car even though their tsbs state that they will and will replace tires up to 30,000 miles. they stopped doing alignments and tire rotations/replacement before 20k miles in my situation. the stock tires are up to $400 a piece, so this is unacceptable. the dealers want $80 for an alignment every 4-6 months + tire purchase. this is a known issue and nissan refuses to issue a real recall, even though every 03 350z has this issue. it was blamed originally on the suspension being stressed during shipment from japan. i have also had dual rear axle replacement, transmission replacement, clutch assmbly replacement, just to name a few. the vehicle become very unstable with the front alignment issue. there are also issues with the rear alignment. it is out of spec everytime it was checked.*ak |
