| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I received a notice in the mail from nissan in the spring of 2004 concerning a toe out condition that could cause irregular tire wear on the inner edge of the front tires. i took my car in on 7/29/04 to the nissan dealer & asked if this was going to be an ongoing problem with the z & was told,"no, once it is adjusted, it will repair the problem". supposedly fixed, with new front tires and 1 year later, i returned to nissan with the same issue. i questioned them about the previous year service & was told "i probably hit a pot hole and that i needed an alignment,which i was charged for, but my concerns about the tire feathering were ignored. after some research i found that the "03 z was manufactured with this factory defect which the newer models don't have. this tells me that this is fixable. being a severe safety issue, the factory setting of the toe adjustmentwhich causes feathering on the inside front tires & their yearly needed replacement is clearly the liability of the manufacturer, not the consumer! what can be done about this? *jb |
