TIRES
UPON ROUTINE INSPECTION OF THE TIRES, IT WAS NOTED THAT THERE IS A CRACK RUNNING AROUND THE CIRCUMFRANCE OF ALL FOUR TIRES WHERE THE TREAD MEETS THE SIDEWALL. THIS IS ON ALL FOUR TIRES. OUR DEALER HAS RECOMMENDED THAT WE REPLACE THE TIRES BEFORE WARM WEATHER STARTS. WE DECIDED TO INVESTIGATE ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THESE TIRES. THERE IS NO RECALL, BUT THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS LISTED FOR THESE FIRESTONE AFFINITY TIRES FOR TREAD SEPARATION. I FEEL THERE MUST BE A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM WITH THESE TIRES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
MY ALTIMA 1999 HAD HAVE A BRAKE PROBLEM. SOMETIME LAST YEAR, WHEN I DROVE ABOVE 35 MPH AND STEPPED ON BRAKE, THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK. I BROUGHT IT TO BROWN'S FAIRFAX NISSAN WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE TO HAVE IT CHECKED. I WAS TOLD THAT I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES SO HARD, THEREFORE THE ROTORS WERE DAMAGED. UNFORTUNATELY, DRIVERS HAVE TO MAKE STOPS TO AVOID ACCIDENTS. I WAS NOT HAPPY WITH THE EXPLAINATION OF THE TECHNICIAN AT THE DEALERSHIP. IT DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE THAT I HAVE TO FIX THE BRAKES IF I MAKE A QUICK STOP TO AVOID ACCIDENT. ON THE OTHER HAND I NEEDED TO FIX MY CAR. I HAD TO TAKE MY CAR TO A SHOP IN FALLS CHURCH TO FIX THE ROTORS BECAUSE THE ESTIMATE TO FIX THE ROTORS AT THE DEALERSHIP WAS SO EXPENSIVE. THE BRAKES WERE FINE AFTER THE MECHANIC FIXED THEM. HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM HAS COME BACK LAST MONTH. I AM WRITING THIS REPORT TO ASK INVESTIGATORS TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM.*AK
