| I moved to charleston sc in june of 2007 from richmond va. i began to hear a clicking sound whenever i would turn a corner or turn sterring wheel to park or leave driveway about a year ago. everytime i took vehicle in for oil change or maintenance, i would tell mechanic. it wasn't until may of 2011 someone actually checked front tires and axels and strut mounts. this is when i was informed of damage. i still have spent hundreds trying to repair numerous other problems because noone knew exactly what was wrong. i've had to pay for three front end alignments in two weeks because of this problem. now i did not receive a recall letter until about 2 or 3 weeks ago and it does not list richmond va as one of the states, however, every year i lived in va we had lots of snow and salt was put down with sand. we also had flood gaston in august of 2005 so there were numerous state that experienced regular salt use in the winter.i would appreciate nissan scheduling an appointment for inspection. thank you mrs.tammie lecque | |||
