| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Front tires worn on inside due to faulty alignnment from factory. car was purchased new in december 2003. during second service ( 7,400 miles) at purchasing dealership tires were balanced and inspected. service department said nothing was abnormal with the tires. now 5 months later ( 13,000 miles) purchasing dealer refused to even look at auto when i told them there was noise coming from front end and that tires were wearing on the inside. i was told by purchasing dealers service department to call nissan north america or to call bridgestone tire company to have it fixed. i in turn called nissan north america and was told by them to take the car in to another dealership for inspection. i took the car in yesterday and was told i needed new tires for the front and that the alignment would be adjusted when the new tires were installed. i was also told that it would be up to nissan north america to approve this request for tires and service. i am afraid the bad alignment may cause tire failure due to the excessive wear on the inside. i check my tires weekly to ensure no cords are showing on the inside and that they are properly inflated. all 2003 350 z's have a 2 year unlimited mileage warranty on the alignment and tire replacements due to the same problems, yet nissan north america has not addressed the 2004 issues even though they are the same as the 2003. you can't expect consumers to purchase 2 new tires once a year because nissan can't repair an alignment problem on their flagship 350z. |
