Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2001 NISSAN PATHFINDER. IT SWAY FROM SIDE TO SIDE WHILE I'M DRIVING. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE FAST OR SLOW. FIRST, I CHANGED THE FRONT SHOCK ABSORBER. NOT MUCH IMPROVEMENT, THEN THE BALL JOINT. IT IMPROVED ABOUT HALFWAY. BUT NOW AFTER ABOUT A MONTH, IT'S EVEN WORSE. I DID SOME RESEARCH IN THE INTERNET AND SURPRISE, I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. IT LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF PATHFINDER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. I KNOW MY CAR IS OLD BUT QUITE A FEW HAVE THE SAME ISSUE BEFORE THEY HIT 100K MILES. I THINK THIS IS A DESIGN PROBLEM OR PARTS PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE RECALL. SO FAR, I DIDN'T SEE ANY DEATH OR ACCIDENT REPORTED BECAUSE OF THIS BUT I'M SURE IT'S BOUND TO HAPPEN. IT'S DANGEROUS DRIVING THIS THING AROUND WITH THE SWAYING SPECIALLY IN HIGH SPEED. *TR
