Replying to: dtownfb (Mar 01, 2005 1:16 pm) Second: If temp gets warmer at 49 degrees, three of the tires will be at 38 thru 39 PSI which is a danger to driving or overinflated. The one is OK. Third: They claim "work as design", I can't control the floor vents behind the front seats from the passenger control buttons. It can only controlled by the front controls. Fourth: Ceiling vents can't blow warm air during winter. There are others they think it is fixed that re-occurs so don't know if it is really fixed on which time will tell. These are: 3 times repair on a "Service Engine Soon" 3 times on Power Windows locking up. Even after recall intitiative. 3 times repair related to Power Steering. This could have caused accident if I didn't notice earlier. 3 times on dome lights, one after recall initiative done 1 Air Bag warning lamp after recall was done and so on ....

Replying to: cirruss (Feb 28, 2005 9:09 pm) After calling Goodyear, I had a replacement tire mounted & balanced within an hour. Great service. Interestingly, the tire shop had trouble balancing the new tire & had to re-mount and spin it so that the tire sat on the rim in a different position. This allowed the tire to be better balanced with fewer weights. I asked about this, as I watched it from the service window. The manager said that none of the major manufacturers balance their rims, except Mercedes & BMW. Interesting. I have no idea if this is true. Net: dynamic load balancing improved, but did not eliminate the problem. Perhaps the new tire helped too, but minimally. The new replacement tire is on the rear left position, so I would think it has minimal affect on vibration at the steering wheel. The van still shakes unacceptably at highway speeds. My '95 sable with 70K miles is smoother on the highway.... In fact, it seems to have gotten worse. Another point of info: the balancing weights seem to held on with double-edged tape. No metal clips. I think I mis-understood MR's comments about the rotors being to cause of his balance problem. Seems he had warped rotors.... this is definitely not that. A motor-head buddy of mine with lots of mini-van experience will take it for a test drive. He thinks it's still the tires, even though they've been balanced 4 times so far. I have more calls into the dealer- maybe I need all replacement tires??? I have 8K in one year. Van sat for months inactive while I pursued BBB arbitration. Could that be the cause of this...??Any suggestions? One last point, other than this balance problem and the heat vents, the van is excellent. I'm trying to keep a "balanced" perspective.  SamuelG

Replying to: bronco31 (Mar 01, 2005 3:32 pm) It looks like they want me to change tire pressure every time I use the car. But I still have the one tire that always losses air. I can't be crawling adding and reducing air all the time. |

Sounds like you may have some real issues but tires and vents are not them. The logic behind the rear vents has been discussed before; Warm air rises and cold air sinks, hence the markings on the controls for the rear that show Red (warm) from the bottom and cold from the top. It's designed that way. Tire pressures are always set to factory spec 35 psi, when the tire is cold. Driving for 15 minutes can raise the tire pressure 3-5 psi; THIS IS NORMAL and not dangerous. Also, tire pressures changes about 1 psi for each 10 degree F change in temperature. So if you set the psi AFTER driving on a warmer day, it can drop 5-7 psi for a cold tire on a cold day. Sounds like you might have a slow leak in one of the tires if you measure it accurately, at cold, with a good gauge and account for ambient temperature changes. |

| Has anyone won a case yet with going through the BBB??? Just wondering since I am in the middle of one since Nissan only wanted to up my warranty, witch they ended up doing on every body's quest and give me one months payment that I make on the POS. I have had so many problems it is not even funny, I have been back and forth to my local dealership so many times my two year old knows right where to go to sit and wait! I also have gotten to know the Enterprise rental car people very well also. | |
