| On several occasions my car as suddenly cutoff, while driving!!!! luckily, nobody was ever physically hurt. mentally and emotionally it scared the crap out of several people, including myself. while on the expressway i've started to notice my car automatically slowing down after a certain speed, without me even touching the brakes. for awhile i stopped getting on the expressway, in fear of my car completely stopping with cars driving behind me at a faster pace. also, at 55 + miles/hr my tires start to wobble and there's a scrubbing noise with the wobble sometimes. it feels like my back tires are about to fall off. i've bought 3 sets of tires already, and tomorrow will be my 4th set. this is ridiculous and very unsafe!!!!! please help me, thanks. | |||

| 2006 altima 2.5 s that is a lemon customer wants to have the car replaced under the lemon law**cc the consumer stated the vehicle has no start problem. the vehicle would start up when she began her day, but at unpredictable times. there is a grinding noise under the gas pedal while accelerating as well as when coming to a stop. the dealer stated the vibration/grinding noise was coming from the tires. all the windows and doors will lock and the remote keyless entry does not seem to work. the cd player and radio are not playing properly. the radio has a lot of static. the cd player makes the cd's sound like they are scratched. *jb | |||

| 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 | |||
