2004 and newer Nissan Maximas has a serious steering wheel vibration after 40mph. Nissan dealership says they are no complaints, but the internet if full of customers having this same problem. My car is 6years old but only has 34,000 miles. New tires, brakes,rotors,alignment multiply tire balances has not fixed this problem. On the internet customer have replaced struts, bearing,cv axles and problem still exist. This seems like a problem needs to be addressed.
Loud thud/bump when going over an uneven surface from right front. Had serviced and was advised it was the "bump stop" that was dry. I was also advised that this should have been addressed at each oil change. I reviewed my manual and there is no mention of lubricating the bump stop - ever. In addition, the dealer did not mention the service was done when oil changes were done there.
