Three problems related to front suspension have been reported for the 1999 Nissan Sentra. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Alignment problem caused tires to wear on inside prematurely. Happened in 2/2001 and 8/2001. 2/2001 was unexpected tire failure, 8/2001 caught at 45k maintenance. Dealer unhelpful.
Consumer states steering wheel shakes at certain speeds and front end seems floaty, consumer was advised by technician everything was fine, consumer then went back to dealership to check the balancing of the tires, noting that the steering wheel is still shaking at certain speeds, excessive wear was then noticed of the front tires, the service technician stated that this was a tire failure and consumer should go to a dunlop outlet for a remedy, a local tire shop stated this was not the fault of the tires themselves, but rather the result of a balance/alignment problem, consumer purchased another set of dunlop tires to replace the excessively-worn front tires, consumer states despite the maintenance and replacement of tires and tire rotation, the suspension still feels floaty.
Identical wear on both front tires, inside worn to cord - while at dealership met another customer with exact same problem (2nd time for them)- dealership says it is not a manufacturers defect (car or tires).
