Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Dealer rotated tires for normal maintenance. returned home with the car and the next day noticed a vibration. assumed dealer did not balance, so called and made appointment to return car. dealer checked car and found the tires to be "feathering". was not told this when tires were rotated. dealer found maintenance bulletin on the same continental 16 in tires on 2005 altima's, but the vin number of my car was not included in the bulletin. dealer told me the problem was with the tires to go to a tire dealer and the company would pro-rate new tires. the tire dealer said the problem was with the car, not the tires and refused to take any action. nissan dealer then referred me to the nissan co. talked to nissan consumer affair's, they also refused to take any action, stating again that it was a tire problem, not a car problem. then called continental tire co and they refuse to take any action, sating again, it was a mechanical problem with the car...as evidenced by the maintenance notification published by nissan. based on the fact that nissan has documented the same problem exists with 2005 altima's regarding feathering of tires, i feel they should be responsible for replacing these tires. because i don't know for sure if it is a tire problem or a mechanical problem with the car, i have no confidence that if i buy new tires for the car that i won't have the same problem with tire feathering in the near future. what are my options?. *jb
