NHTSA Complaint #11320373 — 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA

BOUGHT USED 2015 ALTIMA SV 13 DAYS AGO. BRAND NEW TIRES WERE PUT ON BEFORE I TOOK DELIVERY. THREE DAYS AGO, IT STARTED FEELING LIKE I HAVE A FLAT TIRE, DRAGGING THE RUBBER, PULLING, AND SWAYING FROM REAR WHEN I PARK. MPG IS TERRIBLE, TURNS ARE WIDER, VIBRATES IN STEERING WHEEL WHICH WORSENS AT HIGHER SPEEDS. CHECKED TIRES, SAW 9 .25 WEIGHTS ON PASS FRONT WHEEL, 2 .25 WEIGHTS ON PASS REAR WHEEL, DRIVER FRONT WHEEL HAS GLUE WITHOUT WEIGHTS, DRIVER REAR WHEEL, SAME THING. PASS REAR TIRE HAS 1/2 INCH SLOPE INSIDE ON TOP OF TREAD, LIKE IT'S SEPARATING. FEELS LIKE LOOSE SUSPENSION, WOBBLY AND OUT OF SOCKET. TIRE GUY SAYS BAD TIRE. DEALERSHIP SAYS I GOTTA PAY FOR ALIGNMENT. I JUST BOUGHT THE THING LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AGO, WITH EVERY PENNY TO MY NAME. DEALERSHIP SENT ME AWAY, UNTIL I HAVE MONEY IN MY ACCT TO ALIGN IT. I'M A DELIVERY DRIVER AND NEED TO BE SAFE, ESPECIALLY WITH COVID19, I'M AN ESSENTIAL DRIVER, MAKING DELIVERIES OF FOOD AND NECESSITIES TO STAY AT HOME ORDERED CIVILIANS, TO STOP THE SPREAD OF CORONAVIRUS IN DFW, TEXAS, ORDERED BY JUDGE ABBOT, TO PROVIDE FOR OUR COMMUNITY.
