Consumer Description

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR STARTED ROCKING SIDE TO SIDE AS IF IT WANTED TO ROLL OVER. HAD THE SHOCKS AND SPRINGS REPLACED. THIS WASN'T THE PROBLEM. APPARENTLY BECAUSE OF A DESIGN FLAW, THE SHOCKS WEAR OUT FASTER THAN NORMAL. BUT THE SWAYING WAS CAUSED BY THE REAR BUSHINGS GOING BAD AND WEARING FASTER THAN NORMAL. APPARENTLY NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THE DESIGN FLAW BUT ISN'T WILLING TO ADDRESS IT OR ISSUE A RECALL.*AK
