| I leased a new 1996 pathfinder from the dealer mentioned. since i have had this truck the tires have been getting choppedand they stiil look new. makes a wop wop noise as i ride down teh road ant the steering wheel shakes badly. the dealer has reaplaced these tires. all four of them. this has been done twice (bridgestone's were put on ) this is not including the tires it came with which were brand new. so my tires have been replaced 3 times total with the same problem. i threatened them with the lemon law here and they agreedto fix the problem. i have approximatley 10 complaints on this matter from nissan. i was dealing with their consumer affairs dept and they all seem to be in this together. even at other nissan dealerships. i was lied on by the service manager his name is kelly brabbs. he stated that i was not rotating my tires properly and that is what caused the tire trouble note: manufacturer specs states my tires shoold be rotated every 7,500 mi. he said they should be rotated every 4000. tire rotattion has nothing to do with tires chopping like mineeven i know this. although i complied with his recommendation and paid out of muy pocket to have this rotation done the problem stil existed. thne he lied to nissan and told them he told me to rotate the tires every 3,750 miles. i have documents brabbs sent me saying 7,500 rotation from the dealerevrything they did they covered it up well with no records stating they repalced my tires but once . and that's a lie. i dont know why they are taking advantage of me this way. i guess it could be a racial issue. they have lied to me and on me so much. and i am paying$418.00 a month. i am a fed officer and i have no reason to be dishonest. please help me | |||
