SUSPENSION OF CAR CAUSES TIRES ON THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE TO WEAR UNEVENLY. TIRE TREAD FEATHERS AND A LOUD ROARING SOUND IS VERY NOTICABLE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER BACK IN THE SPRING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, BUT IT HAS NOW RETURNED.*AK

I OWN A 2003 NISSAN 350Z. I PURCHASED THE CAR ON JULY 3RD, 2003. SINCE THAT PURCHASE, THE FRONT TIRES HAVE BEEN "FEATHERING" AND ALL NISSAN WILL DO IS PULL THE TIRES OFF AND ROTATE THE PROBLEM AREA TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE WHEEL. NOW THE INSIDE WILL START TO "FEATHER" THUS CREATING THE RIDE EVEN ROUGHER AND MORE UNSTABLE. NOT ONLY IS THIS CAUSING EXCESSIVE WEAR TO THE TIRES, BUT ONCE ROTATED, IT HAS INCREASED THE CHANCE FOR A BLOWOUT EVEN FURTHER. NISSAN CONTINUES TO DODGE MY REQUEST FOR A SUSPENSION ADJUSTMENT, AS THIS IS APPARENTLY THE PROBLEM, BY SAYING THAT IT IS NOT THE SUSPENSION OR THE ALIGNMENT, BUT THE TIRES THEMSELVES (WHICH IS JUST NOT TRUE. *AK

THIS SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH MANY OF THE FIRST PRODUCTION CARS. I WOULD LIKE NISSAN TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM AND ISSUE A RECALL OF THE CARS SO THAT THE SUSPENSION CAN BE FIXED. I DO WANT TO HAVE TO REPLACE TIRES AT 6-10K MILES BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM.*AK
