I BOUGHT MY CAR NEW IN MAY,2013 AND AFTER A WHILE I NOTICED THAT IT WAS MAKING A WEIRD NOISE WHEN GOING AT HIGH SPEED. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT IT AT EVERY SERVICE, AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOTHING, OR THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE IT. IN FEB 2015 I TOOK IT AGAIN AND ASKED THEM TO ADDRESS IT SERIOUSLY, THEY CLAIMED THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE IT BUT THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS OVER FULL AND THEY FIXED THAT. THEY ALSO SAID THERE WERE SOME TUBES CRACKED AND THEY REPLACED THEM... NOW MY CAR MAKES THE NOISE A LOT MORE, IT IS NOT ALL THE TIME BUT WHEN IT DOES IT IS LOUD AND SCARY. I CONTACTED NISSAN USA AND IT HAS BEEN HARD COMMUNICATING WITH THEM AND I THINK MY CAR IS UNSAFE AND MIGHT BE A LEMON. *TR
