Consumer Description

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WITH ONLY 30 MILES, WE WERE THE FIRST ONE'S TO TEST DRIVE THE CAR. DURING THE DRIVE WE NOTICED A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL BETWEEN 60-80 MILES PER HOUR. THE SALES PERSON ADVISED US THAT THE CAR SIMPLY NEEDED TO BE BALANCE SINCE IT HAS BEEN SITTING ON THE LOT FOR FOR 4MONTHS AND THE TIRES HAD A DULL SPOT. WE SCHEDULED THE SERVICE 4 DAYS AFTER THE PURCHASE. AFTER THE DEALER REPLACED THE TIRES WITH BRAND NEW CONTINENTAL TIRES, ALIGNED, ROAD FORCE BALANCE THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM STILL PERSIST. NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIR SAID THAT THE CAR WAS TUNED TO SPEC AND THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT. CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY I AM PAYING FOR A DEFECTIVE CAR AND CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
