After buying a 2003 350 z Nissan, Nissan replaced the front tires twice due to bad alignment and tire wear and noise. Now, it appears, the same unusual war of the tires on the inside is back as is the deafening noise while driving. Why would an owner have to replace tires every 20,000 miles? this is a safety problem. I have just about stopped driving my car, parking it in the garage and taking the bus to work. I am afraid to drive on the interstate in fear of a blow out or accident. This car should be recalled. They admitted the alignment problem publicly on the internet, gave me 2 sets of front tires and now it has happened again. I called them today to repeat my concerns and they are referring my file to the regions specialist who "has the power to help me out". They did say there is no recall on my car or tires at this time which essentially means tough. I will let you know the outcome. There is a class action law suit from the law offices of howard a. Gutman currently.
Car was making a rattling noise from underneath since I bought it new also there was a creaking noise from the left rear tire from day 1 now the car skips at 1000 rpms of course Nissan does not help.

I was involved in a near fatal auto accident, which Nissan didn't report to the death and injury reports done every quarter per annual year. The accident almost left me paralyzed and I broke over 6 bones in various body part locations due to the car not living up to the "safety" features the maker boasted to have which falsely lead me to buy the car and nearly killed me during an accident, at no fault of mine. The accident was on 1-18-2006, the vehicle a total loss, and occurred in arizona on interstate 51 in phoenix az. I was rear ended, while sitting in traffic pile-up during rush hour traffic. The other driver was estimated to be driving upon impact at 43 mph. I had my sealtbelt on, which broke my collarbone, and a rib. I also ruptured a silicone breast implant from the force of the car into the steering wheel. The air bags didn't deploy, the leg and feet compartment for the driver area caused one foot I had on the brake, to break the sessamoid bone; the rt knee was thrown into the steering column and I broke my patella and tore my meniscus. Both required surgery, both on opposite legs. I required surgery for the ruptured implant. My neck was fractured and the blow and whiplash from the inadequate head restraint caused vertigo for nearly 3 months. I suffered brain bruising and swelling from hitting my head against the headrest after being thrust forward without an airbag to cushion the jolting of the neck and spine. My thoracic spine was fractured, and remains that way since I've opted not to have surgery. The lumbar spine has a ruptured disk and developed a mass from the impact blunt force trauma that developed from the other drivers car hitting my rear end of the car and the seat thrusting all the contents of the vehicles structure into the seat behind where I sat. I had surgery on the removal of the mass and the lumbar spine repair 3 times. My life was completely destroyed as a result of the false misleading claims the Nissan manufacturer and dealer claimed.
