Nissan Altima Suspension Safety Report | Jan 21, 2013
Reported on Jan 21, 2013
| I FIRST NOTICED IT DRIVING THE CAR HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I FELT AS THOUGH THE FRONT TIRES WERE MOVING IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS AT THE SAME TIME AND THERE IS A METALLIC SOUND IN THE FRONT END (CAN ONLY HEAR WHEN YOUR NEXT TO BARRIERS OR BRIDGES ON THE HIGHWAY). THE CAR DRIFT IS SO BAD I FEEL I WILL BE PULLED OVER FOR DUI!!!! I WAS PLANNING A TRIP THAT WEEK TO TEXAS WITH MY GRANDCHILDREN AND I HAD ALREADY HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT BEING ON SO I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER TO LOOK AT IT, THEY COULDN'T GET ME IN!!! I MADE MY TRIP ANYWAY AND IT WAS THE SCARIEST MOST DANGEROUS TRIP I HAVE EVER MADE!!!! I WAS ALL OVER THE HIGHWAY ON ANY STRAIGHTAWAY, THE SLIGHTEST WIND OR ANOTHER VEHICLE PASSING ME WOULD SEND ME INTO THE OTHER LANE. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR INTO THE DEALER AND ADVISED THEM TO TAKE THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY AND LISTEN FOR THE NOISE AS WELL AT OVERPASSES (WHEN YOU HAVE NOISE COMING BACK AT YOU) THE REP CAME OUT AND SAID THAT HIS TECH COULD NOT FIND ANY THING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND THAT IT DRIVES LIKE ALL OTHER ALTIMA'S! THIS IS NOT TRUE!! AND THEY SAID THEY NEVER HEARD THE NOISE, WHICH I FIND VERY HARD TO BELIEVE BECAUSE I HEAR IT ALL THE TIME! THE DRIVERSIDE FRONT-END SOUNDS LIKE A 10 YEAR OLD CAR WHEN IT HITS A BUMP IN THE ROAD OR PARKING LOT, LIKE ITS SHOCKS OR SOMETHING ARE BAD... I AM SOOOO DISAPPOINTED IN NISSAN AND WITH THE ALTIMA COMPLETELY, WHAT IS THE USE HAVING A BEAUTIFUL CAR WHEN IT IS A DANGER ON THE HIGHWAY!!!!!!!!!! I WILL POST ON ALL WEBSITES ABOUT THIS CAR! IT IS DANGEROUS!!! *TR | |
