2006 Nissan Altima

AS I WAS CONCLUDING MY BUSINESS DAY BY DRIVING HOME, MY FRONT RIGHT TIRE WENT FLAT. CAR DRIVEN TO A LOCAL TIRE DEALER, HE REFUSES TO FIX TIRE AND SAYS TAKE IT BACK TO DEALER BECAUSE THE TIRE WAS A FACTORY DEFAULT. MY SIGNIFICANT OTHER RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE CAR ON NOVEMBER 2, 2005. SERVICE DEPARTMENT INFORMED HIM THAT THE TIRE DAMAGE WAS MY FAULT, AND REFUSED TO PROVIDE ME WITH A NEW TIRE. A FEW DAYS LATER, I NOTICED THAT MY ENGINE COVER WAS HANGING. I CALLED MY SALESMAN, AND HE INFORMED ME THAT IT PROBABLY OCCURRED WHEN THE TIRE WENT FLAT. NISSAN REPLACED THE TWO SCREWS, AND I WAS ON MY WAY. ALTHOUGH I HAD EXPERIENCED CHALLENGING TIMES WITH THE CAR, NOTHING PREPARED ME FOR THE HORRIFIC EXPERIENCE THAT OCCURRED ON THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2005. I SLOWLY DROVE DOWN THE GRASSY INCLINE AND PROCEEDED LEFT. I AM CERTAIN THAT I WAS NOT GOING FASTER THAN FIVE MILES PER HOUR BECAUSE 1) I WAS ON A HILL, 2) MY MOTHER WAS IN THE CAR, 3) I WAS TURNING LEFT, AND 4) I WAS ENTERING A TWO-LANE STREET. THE CAR WAS ON THE STREET, AND I WAS STRAIGHTENING THE CAR TO ENSURE THAT WE WERE SAFELY IN THE RIGHT LANE TO CONTINUE DOWN THE STREET. WHILE I WAS COMPLETING THESE ACTIONS, THE CAR SUDDENLY TURNED LEFT AS IF IT HAD A LIFE OF ITS OWN. IN ORDER TO AVOID HITTING AN SUV AND A MAILBOX, I HAD TO STEER FOR MY LIFE, MY MOTHER''S LIFE, AND THIS NOW MANIAC CAR. I ENDED UP GOING UP THE EMBANKMENT, DOWN THE EMBANKMENT, UP AND DOWN AGAIN. FINALLY, I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR AT MY DECEASED UNCLE''S DRIVEWAY. AMAZINGLY, ONLY MY TIRE AND TIRE AXLE WERE DESTROYED. MY MOTHER AND I WERE SAFE. I AM NOW CERTAIN THAT AFTER TWO TIRE INCIDENTS, SEEING MY CAR SWERVE ON THE HIGHWAY, AND LISTENING TO IT CLICK AFTER POSSESSING IT FOR FIVE DAYS THAT THIS CAR IS FAULTY. *NM

RECENTLY PURCHASED 2006 NISSAN ALTIMA. IMMEDIATELY NOTICED LOUD RATTLING NOISE AT HIGH SPEED ON FREEWAY, SWAYING IN STEERING AND VIBRATION FROM FRONT TIRE(S). TOOK TO DEALERSHIP. THEY DROVE IT AND SAID COULD NOT HEAR ANYTHING. TOOK BACK A FEW DAYS LATER, WHEREUPON THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD NEED VEHICLE FOR A WHOLE DAY AND WOULD NOT FIX IT RIGHT THEN AND THERE, THAT I WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK. I TOOK TO ANOTHER NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED PROBLEM TO THEM. THEY TOOK OFF THE FRONT AIR DEFLECTOR AND IT FIXED LOUD RATTLING. HOWEVER, STILL HAVING PROBLEM WITH ROUGH RIDE, NOISY TIRES, AND SEEMS LIKE MOTOR DRAGS AT TAKE OFF. I HAVE A DAUGHTER AND AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS HERE, FEEL LIKE NO ONE IS PROTECTING CONSUMERS-AT ALL. I'M WORRIED TIRES ARE JUST LIKE 2005 MODELS. TODAY WILL BE THE THIRD TIME TAKING IT TO DEALERSHIP. I ALSO WORK FOR A LAWYER AND NOTICE AIEG HAS HAD POTENTIAL LAWSUITS FOR CONTINENTAL TIRES. *NM
