Front Suspension Problems of Nissan Sentra

With 12000 km on my 08 Sentra was informed my rear tires needed to be replaced. After much fighting with my service manager, dealership manager, and dealership owner they agreed to inspect the components of the rear suspension and was informed that it was out of alignment, and they could not bring it to within spec. The fix was a total rear suspension replacement. . . I now have a front strut bearing gone and have been waiting 2 months for parts. . . With my front end alignment out because of this, and no word on part arrival.

Bought car in October 2004, and by December was continually hearing a loud, creaking sound when going over any kind of imperfection in the road. When returned to the dealership, problem blamed on factory blown struts. Waited a month for the part (because it was on national backorder) and part was finally replaced. Within three days, the same sound could be heard. Brought back to the dealership and ordered more struts. A month later (now March 1st) when picked up the car for the second time, the day after replacing the strut same sound was heard again. On taking it back to the dealership for the third time, sound blamed on controll arm bushings. Appt. Next week to see if this prblem is correct.

The steering wheel made noise. On one occasion the vehicle began to vibrate and shake while making a turn which resulted in the vehicle hitting a curb. The vehicle has been taken to the dealer on several occasion but they have not been able to locate or correct the problem.

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.

Vehicle was making a thumping sound while driving. Noise fade out when brakes were applied. Same day, rotors were rotated and it repeated the problem. On February 27, 2001 it was taken back to dealer , and noise they said was coming from right front tire. Mechanic at dealer told consumer that all small cars do this. Other small vehicles consumer has had have not done this.

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).

Vehicle sways from side to side when driven over 55 mph.

In 2001 may when I was driving this car to houston, I heard some squeking noise from the front right part of the car when the vehicle speed was around 65 mph and the atmospheric temperature was around 80 degree f. After some time it became worse and there was vibration to the whole car even at 55 mph and also there was a retarding effect to the speed along with each squeaking sound. I took the car the next morning to a dealership in bryan, collegestation but they could not find anything, they told me. Later the same thing happened to the car whenever the atmospheric temperature is more than 65 degree f. I had taken this vehicle to hudiburg Nissan dealership in oklahoma city 2 or 3 times with this complaint and each time a service advisor test drived along with me and had heard this noise. The advisor on all occasions was one mr. Pete. I took the car there on all occassions in the afternoon when I heard the noise and felt the vibration and the retarding effect on speed while I drive. The advisor test drived at the same time and on all occassions asked me to leave the car there so that the technicians can fix it. Then they returned the car to me the next day saying the technicians never heared anything. If we drive it on cold mornings we won't hear anything or feel anything, that may be the reason. Now as the spring starts and temperature began to increase I has the same problem for the car. The main concern is the retarding effect along with the noise. I want to have it fixed. Please help me.
