| Consumer stated that when the vehicle reached a speed of 60 mph a whistling noise could be heard from the transmission. the consumer took the vehicle to three different dealers at least ten different times and they all told him that the noise was normal with this vehicle type . the consumer spoke to the manufacturer a few times but currently they don't want to deal with the problem. the vehicle experienced electrical problems and the dealer replaced all the electric cables. the brake pads were replaced at 10000 miles and at 20000 miles the rotors had to be resurfaced. *ak *nlm *jb | |||

| I hit a curb and my wheel broke off leaving just the center bolted to the car. the tire was not damaged. at that point the vehicle was pretty much uncontrollable and the tire and remainder of the wheel continued into traffic. the tire shop indicated they had never seen anything like this. the car appears to have sustained only possibly some alignment issues. this and the lack of damage to the tire seems to indicate that the impact was not that severe, yet there was the complete failure of the wheel. i have a photo of the now two pieces of the wheel. the car is not just an ser model sentra but a ser spec v which includes 17 wheels instead of the 16s on the ser. i have not submitted anything to nissan as i previously had notified them of some frequently-warping brake rotors and they discounted my claims indicating i was driving to aggressively. however, the brake system was modified in subsequent models since the 2002 introduction of my car. *jb | |||
