Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I purchased a 2004 nissan 350z in august of 2003. after about 24000 miles i complained of excessive road noise comming for the tires. i was informed by the dealer that the front tire were cupping and had to be replaced. this seems to be a known problem with this car and nissan acknowledged it on their 2003 model but continues to ignore it on their 2004 model claining that it has been addressed although they are not clear on how they addressed it. i fear that this problem if not addressed by nissan will result in an unfortunate accident for someone unaware of the problem. it is suprising to me that auto manufacturers are not obligated to disclose these kind of known issues with their products. it seems that the dealers are notified but not the consumers who have bought their products.*ak
