GOODYEAR DEALER DID NOT WANT TO REPLACE TIRES AS THEY SAY 2006 IS NOT PART OF CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. 3 OUT OF 4 TIRES WERE SPLITTING ON SIDEWALLS. PLEASE TAKE NOTE THAT CONSUMERS ARE STILL HAVING THE PROBLEM WITH NEWER MODELS. ALTHOUGH THEY PUT NEW TIRES ON MY VEHICLE, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WITH THEM ON. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, TIRES, EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER, TIRES:SIDEWALL
BIGGEST PROBLEM IS THE TRANSMISSION ON THE 2004 MAXIMA. IT STARTED WITH JERKING, AND SPEED CHANGES WHILE DRIVING. ROTATORS, AIR CONDITIONING, TIRES, STRUTS, AND TREMBLING IN WHEEL. TRANSMISSION IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. ALSO, THE STRUTS WERE REPLACED, TREMBLING IS STILL THERE, AIR CONDITIONING LOW AND HOSE REPLACED. BUT NOW IT RUMBLES WHEN TURNED ON. TIRES ALMOST COST ME LIFE ON EXPRESSWAY DUE TO CRACK IN SIDEWALLS. *AK
