Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Nissan 350z. lost control of car just changing lanes at 45 mph. car spun sideway and when i tried to recover, steering was almost impossible as tires seemed to be just gliding wherever they wanted to go. i am just now connecting this incident to the just became aware of tire and front end problem that nissan seems to be having with this vehicle. i only wish somebody had told me my front end was not aligned and tracking correctly and that my tires were worn away on the inner edges. the failure to notify me placed me in a circumstance that allowed me to think the vehicle i was driving was safe and would respond when i needed it to. my initial thinking of a slick road, which really wasn't present, is now apparent to me to be a front end which can wander and cause abrupt alterations in tracking due to tire wear and improper alignment. fortunately, the only bruised item was the car. i hope it doesn't lead to a human. *ak *nm the consumers vehicle failed the massachusetts safety inspection because of bad tires. *tc
