2000 Nissan Maxima

TIRES. GOODYEAR VIVA 3 MODEL, SIZE 215/55R16 (AND MOST OTHER SIZES). THESE TIRES GO OUT OF ROUND AT EXCEPTIONALLY LOW MILEAGE. AN COMMON COMPLAINT AT WALMART (THE ONLY RETAILER THAT SELLS THIS MODEL) IS THAT THE TIRES GO OUT OF ROUND, PRODUCE UNBELIEVABLE NOISE, AND VIBRATION IN THE STEERING COLUMN. I HAVE EXPERIENCE BOTH THESE EFFECTS AS WELL, AND THE TIRES WERE INSTALLED ON A NEWLY (DAYS BEFORE) ALIGNED VEHICLE, AND HAVE LESS THAN 5,000 MILES ON THEM. SEE HTTPS://WWW.WALMART.COM/IP/GOODYEAR-VIVA-3-ALL-SEASON-215-55R16-93H-TIRE/42353801 FOR A LITANY OF THE ESSENTIALLY SAME COMPLAINT FROM HUNDREDS OF DRIVERS ON THE SAME MODEL OF TIRE. THESE TIRES SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD, THEY ARE NOT SAFE. TIRES THAT GO OUT OF ROUND, AT LESS THAN 5,000 MILES, SOMETHING IS GOING ON THERE. (IN MY CASE, I HAVE ONLY TWO OF THE TIRES (ONE AXLE) BUT ONE IS OK (SO FAR), AND THE OTHER IS CLEARLY NOT. BUT WHEN I WENT AND READ THE REVIEWS, I FOUND OVER HALF THE COMPLAINTS WERE ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM (OUT OF ROUND, AND MASSIVE VIBRATION AND NOISE). THE OTHER HALF OF THE COMPLAINTS ON LOW MILEAGE LIFESPANS. BUT THE TIRES GOING OUT OF ROUND, AND CAUSING VIBRATION IN HUGE NUMBERS OF VEHICLES, THAT IS SOMETHING NHTSA NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE. HENCE MY COMPLAINT. I WILL SOON BE REPLACING THESE TIRES ON MY VEHICLE, I DON'T THINK THEY ARE SAFE TO DRIVE ON.

2000 NISSAN MAXIMA SE. WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON A HIGHWAY OR SECONDARY ROAD THE VEHICLE STARTS TO BUCK. SUDDENLY WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE (TCS) TRACTION CONTROL AND SLIP LIGHTS ILLUMINATE. THIS CAUSES ME TO SUDDENLY LOSE POWER AND DECELERATE IN HI SPEED TRAFFIC ALMOST LEADING TO REAR END COLLISIONS. I HAVE TRIED TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM BY RESETTING THE VEHICLE'S COMPUTER BY DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY OVERNIGHT AND SPEAKING TO MECHANICS. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. AT TIMES THE TCS WILL ACTIVATE ( SOMETIMES STALL ) WHILE I AM PULLING INTO TRAFFIC OR MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY ( RPM'S GO TO 2000 MAXIMUM WHEN THIS HAPPENS ) CAUSING CONCERN TO MYSELF OR OTHER MOTORIST. THE VEHICLE HAS 190K AND I HAVE OWNED IT SINCE 01/26/2018. THE VEHICLE OPERATED PERFECTLY UNTIL 07/2018. UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE BEEN UNEMPLOYED SINCE 04/2018 AND CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THE CAR PUT IN A SHOP FOR REPAIRS. I AM CAPABLE OF DOING MY OWN MECHANICAL REPAIR ONCE I CAN DIAGNOSE THE ROOT CAUSE. I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE SINCE I DO NOT HAVE ANOTHER AT MY DISPOSAL. MY MAIN CONCERN BEING SAFETY TO MYSELF AND OTHERS. ANY HELP WITH THIS SITUATION WILL BE DEEPLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR AT A BUY HERE PAY HERE LOT THE ABS SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT IS ON AND THE BRAKES ALMOST GO TO THE FLOOR I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE ACCULATOR OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM FAILURE AND DEALERSHIP SAID THERE MAY BE A RECALL IT SHOULD BE CAUSE THE COST IS OVER 1,000.00 DOLLARS TO REPAIR THE CAR RUNS GOOD BUT THAT IS ALOT OF MONEY TO SPEND ON A USED CAR KNOWN FOR THIS ISSUE AND THAT NO DEALERSHIPS BUY HERE PAY HERE LOTS FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO CREDIT GET STUCK WITH A GOOD RUNNING CAR AND THE BRAKES ARE A BIG SAFETY ISSUE

UPON INSPECTION THE FRAME AND CROSS MEMBER ARE RUSTED BEYOND REPAIR. IT IS NOW TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AND ULTIMATELY USELESS. THE MECHANIC IS AFRAID TO LET THE CAR DOWN OFF THE LIFT TO SUPPORT ITS OWN WEIGHT. HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE AND EVEN CLOSE TO ACCEPTABLE? THIS CAR HAS BEEN STORED IN A GARAGE, NOT DRIVEN OFTEN, AND PROPERLY MAINTAINED. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE.

OUR CONFIRMATION FOR EARLIER COMPLAINT IS : 10628840 SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR, IT IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM. WE HAD ENGINE LIGHT AND SUSPENSION PROBLEM. WHILE DRIVING CAR SOME TIMES STARTS WAVERING AND JUMPING. ALSO GETS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE STEERING. MANY OF THE NISSAN PLACES HAVE CHARGED US A HEALTHY AMOUNT OF MONEY BUT THE PROBLEM STAYS THE SAME. CAN NOT BE DRIVEN ON HIGHWAYS. I HAVE SUBMITTED ALL THE DOCUMENTS WITH THE PREVIOUS COMPLAINT. PLEASE ADVISE AND HELP US. THANK YOU *TR
