Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a 1998 nissan pathfinder se and have loved it since the day i got it. until the yesterday when i was driving home from a football game about 110 miles away from home. when i was on the highway doing 65 mph +/- 5 mph, the rear end would start wobbling uncontrollably. it is very dangerous and very unsafe. i did some research online to find the problem ( to save myself money ) and it seems that i am not the only person that has had this problem, nissan themselves have a site that addresses the issue, but no recall has been made. what has to be done for the automotive company to say " hey this isn't safe, we should get this fixed for our valued customers" i have been driving nissans for 10 years now and have been thoroughly disappointed in the way it seems the manufacturer is handling this. i think this should be recalled so that everyone with a 1996-1998 pathfinder doesn't kill themselves or someone else on the road with the wobbles. *nm
