All Wheels Complaints
the vehicle failed front wheel bearing replacement. I took it to the mechanic because when i was driving there was a very loud noise and didn't feel well. The mechanic told me that I could have had an accident because the tire was about to come off the vehicle.
WHILE PARKING CAR IT SPONTANEOUSLY ACCELERATED ACROSS THE PARKING LOT, THE BORDERING STREET AND INTO ANOTHER PARKING LOT BEFORE STOPPING. THE CARS LEFT SIDE, RIGHT SIDE, FRONT BUMPER, TIRES AND SUSPENSION WERE DAMAGED. THOUGH NO OTHER CARS WERE HIT, COMMERCIAL GARBAGE CANS, STOP SIGN, TELEPHONE POLE AND A SERIES 4 CURBS INFLICTED DAMAGE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY DESPITE HAVING THEM CHECKED BY THE DEALER AS REQUIRED BY A RECALL. *TR
AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN AWHILE AND WARMED UP, 30 MINS OR SO. THE STEERING WHEEL STARTS TO JERK AND THE CAR PULLS TO THE LEFT. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE CAR DRIVES LIKE IT'S ON A FLAT TIRE, A KLUCK KLUCK KLUCK SOUND IS COMING FROM THE FRONT END, BUT THE TIRES ARE NOT FLAT. I EVEN REPLACED THE OLD TIRES WITH NEW ONES. THE STEERING BECOMES VERY ERRATIC. IVE TAKEN IT TWICE TO A NISSAN DEALER AND A SEARS AUTO CENTER, AND WAS TOLD EVERYTHING WAS TIGHT IN THE FRONT END. NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET THE CAR TO RECREATE THIS CONDITION. WHAT WOULD BE THE LIKELY CAUSE THAT WOULD MAKE THIS HAPPEN?
CONSUMER STATES WHILE DRIVING 65-70 MPH APPLIED BRAKES WITHOUT WARNING THE RIGHT WHEEL BUCKLED VEHICLE DROPPED RESULTING LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE CAUSING DAMAGE TO VEHICLE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN NOTIFIED AND REFERRED TO MANUFACTURER. NLM
