Nissan Altima Suspension Safety Report | Mar 01, 2013
Reported on Mar 01, 2013
| THIS VEHICLE WANDERS LEFT AND RIGHT, ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE DRIVING IN BREEZY CONDITIONS, EVEN WHEN THERE IS NO WIND AT ALL. THE EFFECT IS AMPLIFIED ON CONCRETE HIGHWAYS WITH LIGHT DRAINAGE GROOVES. WHEN THE ROAD IS WET, IT FEELS VERY UNSTABLE. IT IS DIFFICULT TO KEEP THE CAR GOING ON A STRAIGHT COURSE, WITH CONSTANT STEERING CORRECTIONS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE IS ALSO VERY SENSITIVE TO SLIGHT CROSSWINDS OR PASSING VEHICLES WHICH SEND THE CAR OFF ITS COURSE. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS CAUSED BY THE TIRES BUT I KNOW THIS IS NOT TRUE BECAUSE I HAVE A 2013 HONDA ODYSSEY THAT HAS THE SAME CONTIPROCONTACT TIRES AND IT DRIVES LIKE A DREAM. *TR | |
