I was driving down the street at about 15 miles an hour and my tire on the passenger side turned out word and then hit a car on the side of the road. Upon further inspection I realized that the car had come apart at the control arm , at the hub and the transaxle had separated as well. Found these parts at the place I park in front of my house and the other one about 50feet from where the car came apart.

A rattling noise is apparent from the rear of the vehicle, especially when going over bumps. My mechanic indicated the read stabilizer bar has a tsb that an improper sealer or brushing was used when the car was made, however I now have 57,000 miles on the car that is 3.5 years old, I.e. Out of warranty therefore I am responsible for a manufacture defect.

On 9/17/03 I had four p205/60r15 uniroyal tour tr tires placed on my 2001 nissan altima. Within one week two were replaced because of vibration. @ two weeks ago I had the tires rotated. The rear tires were placed on the front. Immediately vibration and pulling to the right was noticed. Again two new tires were placed on the vehicle. Again the pull to the right. The front tires were moved to opposite sides and the pull was to the left. A new tire was placed on the vehicle and it stills pull to the left. The car is in alignment. I would think there is a defect in these tires. I have notified uniroyal of the same by email.

My 2001 nissan altima gxe/le car has a problem with its suspension. It makes a crunching/rattling noise. My car has been to 2 nissan dealers a total of 9 times. In all it has been out of service for 17 days. They have replaced many suspension parts. But the problem still remains. I have contacted the manufacturer several times with my complaints via phone and letters. I have also demanded a refund under the california lemon law. But nissan of north america has refused. On march 2002, I filed a complaint with the bbb auto line program. Once the bbb auto line reviewed my complaint they contacted nissan. We had a nissan dts person inspect my car. I test drove with him and he verified my existing suspension problem. I agreed to give them one more chance to fix my car on april 12, 2002. The dts person ordered both front struts and springs replaced again. As of september 2002 the same suspension problem has re-occurred. On october 2002, I finally decided to contact a lawyer experienced in the lemon law cases. He wrote the first demand letter to nissan. The letter mentioned all my problems and demanded a lemon law buy back because of the suspension defect. On december 2002 my attorney?s office had to send nissan another letter, because they had failed to respond to the fist one. Well just recently on january 2003 nissan finally decided to respond to the letters and after numerous phone calls that were made to their office. Nissan said that based on the number of repair attempts, along with the type of repair that was performed to resolve the complaint, we do not feel that there have been any substantial repairs performed on the vehicle for the same non-conformity. Nissan went on to say that they are not required to repurchase your client's vehicle, therefore demands for repurchase and restitution of associated fees, is denied. They again offered to have a dts(dealer technical specialist) come out and inspect my vehicle. For the alleged suspension complaint.

I own a 2001 nissan altima, bought brand new with 35,300 miles on it. Naturally the warranty is about to expire and I am concerned because the rear bushings and stabilizer bars have had to be replaced twice already. Is this a safety concern? Is this a common problem? Is there a recall? What are my rights once my warranty expires?
