SUSPENSION, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
I WAS TRAVELLING ON THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE NEAR ORLANDO AT 70MPH WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE. I BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN, BUT THE SHAKING BECAME MORE VIOLENT. SUDDENLY, WITHOUT WARNING, THERE WAS A TERRIFIC BANG, THE SOUND OF TEARING METAL AND THE CAR BEGAN TO FISHTAIL. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE AND PULL ON TO THE SHOULDER. WHEN I EXITED THE VEHICLE I SAW THAT THE FRONT, LEFT TIRE HAD LOST ITS TREAD. THIS INCIDENT CAUSED $1500+ *AKDOLLARS OF DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. IT COST ME $250 DEDUCTIBLE AND I ALSO HAD TO BUY A NEW SET OF TIRES. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE DAMAGED TIRE. I WENT TO A FIRESTONE DEALER WITH THE DAMAGED TIRE AND HE TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THE TIRE HAD MORE THAN 30,000 MILES ON THEM. AM I ENTITLED TO RECOVER THE DEDUCTIBLE I PAID FROM FIRESTONE???*AK( DOT NUMBER: TIRE SIZE: P215/65R15 )

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL
CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS - THEIR REPLY WAS BEDFORD NISSAN AND TECHLINE DETERMINE VEHICLE IS OPERATING NORMALLY. MY CONCERN ABOUT IDLE IS NOT DUE TO ANY DEFECT IN THE WAY VEHICLE WAS BUILT - THIS CONDITION IS NORMAL AND CHARACTERISTIC OF VEHICLE. I AM UNSATISFIELD WITH THIS RESPONSE - SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE DEALER HAVE NOT SOLVED THIS PROBLEM. 1500 RPM'S IN THIRD GEAR IS 25 MPH AND IN FOURTH GEAR IT IS 30 MPH. RPM'S WILL NOT DROP OFF UNTIL TRANSMISSION IS PUT IN NEUTRAL. NISSAN DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THIS AS A PROBLEM. *AK
