| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Have complained to dealership (east tn nissan, knoxville) on several occasions that there is significant vibration all over vehicle. hear intermittent whistling noise--cannot tell if coming from front or rear. i suggested to them it might be a wheel bearing. dealership insists not. they had me take vehicle to local tire dealer (tires plus, 4901 clinton hwy., knoxville, tn 37912) after telling me the tires were out-of-round (service rep. said "vibration due to high road force."). however, local tire dealer claimed east tn nissan doesn't know how to balance a tire and said tires were not out of round. they balanced tires and sent me on my way--did say they would "sell me a different tire at a prorated price." this is "bunk" after paying nearly $30,000 for this vehicle! vibration continues and is worsening!!! dealership offers nothing toward helping me get replacement tires on this vehicle! i am afraid they either did not really do the recall on the rear housing and are jerking me around or else that tires (or possibly wheels!) are out-of-round, and they refuse to accept responsibility! |
