What owners wrote
Nissan 350z. Lost control of car just changing lanes at 45 MPH. Car spun sideway and when I tried to recover, steering was almost impossible as tires seemed to be just gliding wherever they wanted to go. I am just now connecting this incident to the just became aware of tire and front end problem that nissan seems to be having with this vehicle. I only wish somebody had told me my front end was not aligned and tracking correctly and that my tires were worn away on the inner edges.
Fax from (md) re the problems he has experienced with his defective 2003 nissan touring model 350 z. The consumer stated he received a recall letter/tsb regarding premature tire wear and a roaring noise. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealer and was told there was nothing wrong with the tires. The consumer tried to explain that he could hear the noise. The consumer examined the vehicle himself and could clearly see there was a problem. The tires were wearing on the inside toe.
