Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: An update to a previously reported problem, which may help other car owners in determining a suspected problem. i have a 2005 nissan altima 3.5 sl. last summer i was having problems with the car's handling at highway speeds. i had the car aligned, replaced all 4 tires, one by one and was still having with the car-which was shaking at speeds over 60 mph. i took it to the dealer again and they determined that the shaking was like a turbulence effect. the spoiler under the car was not allowing the wind to flow through properly, which was causing the shaking effect at highway speeds. the dealer replaced the spoiler with the 2.5 model's spoiler. this seems to have solved the problem. this car is a lighter car and the wind does have an effect on it when driving at higher speeds. the tires which are a continental brand are probably not the correct tires for the car due to road force issues and not the proper speed rating for this model either. i will probably replace those with a better model and high speed rating once they start to wear down. *nm
