*** copy of my incident report mailing address: [xxx] customer incident report name: [xxx] street address: [xxx] city, state zip: [xxx] phone:[xxx] email: [xxx] nissan consumer affairs file no: [xxx] this was the report I sent to nissan investigations unit in january: january 19, 2016 at my home, [xxx]-- between buildings [xxx]--near the dumpster. I was in the driver seat with the vehicle in park near the condominium dumpster taking out trash that I picked up off the passenger seat.
There is a vibration noticeable in the floor, pedals and steering wheel at around 1250 engine RPM whenever the car speed is steady. It corresponds to about 45-50 MPH when driving in eco mode. It happens while cruising at steady speeds on straight or curved roads. I have complained two or more times to the dealer and nissan USA and the only reply I have received is that it is normal for that model. Other owners have reported this problem on internet forums.
