SUSPENSION:FRONT
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.
