Consumer Description

I HAVE A 1998 NISSAN PATHFINDER SE AND HAVE LOVED IT SINCE THE DAY I GOT IT. UNTIL THE YESTERDAY WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM A FOOTBALL GAME ABOUT 110 MILES AWAY FROM HOME. WHEN I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DOING 65 MPH +/- 5 MPH, THE REAR END WOULD START WOBBLING UNCONTROLLABLY. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND VERY UNSAFE. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE TO FIND THE PROBLEM ( TO SAVE MYSELF MONEY ) AND IT SEEMS THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON THAT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM, NISSAN THEMSELVES HAVE A SITE THAT ADDRESSES THE ISSUE, BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN MADE. WHAT HAS TO BE DONE FOR THE AUTOMOTIVE COMPANY TO SAY " HEY THIS ISN'T SAFE, WE SHOULD GET THIS FIXED FOR OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS" I HAVE BEEN DRIVING NISSANS FOR 10 YEARS NOW AND HAVE BEEN THOROUGHLY DISAPPOINTED IN THE WAY IT SEEMS THE MANUFACTURER IS HANDLING THIS. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED SO THAT EVERYONE WITH A 1996-1998 PATHFINDER DOESN'T KILL THEMSELVES OR SOMEONE ELSE ON THE ROAD WITH THE WOBBLES. *NM
