Safety concern regarding the front end. I've had to take my truck in for vibration of steering wheel and front end when slowing down at stop signs, lights, or parking. The vibration is only when slowing down and it feels like it radiates towards the rear end right before the complete stop. I've had to take my truck in for 4 times due to the front end. Three, because of the vibration and once in dec. For red fluid dripping and getting all over the bottom and side of truck while coming back from a christmas trip...

about 7hrs away. I was told it had something to do with the rack and pinion. That was not good news to hear especially since we had driven back a few nights ago in the snow. Now, april 2005 I still have the same problem for the fourth time with the extreme vibration of the front end while braking or slowing down. I need to be inconvenienced again when I take my truck in for a check and leaving it behind several days and be without a car. The other problems are the fact that the two front windows of the truck do not always go up when the automatic button is used. It seems that the windows begin to go up then just slide back down. This has been serviced more than four (4) times with still the same problem occurring to one of the windows. It is an inconvenience when the window does not go up when it is raining or cold wind blowing while driving and my kids are at the back seat.*Ak

2004 Nissan CrewSteeringWheels & tires

The first day after receiving the car and getting onto the highway I noticed the vehicle would exhibit harsh vibrations. It was too much vibration to be tolerated. I scheduled an appointment with my local service dealer they rotated and balanced the tires, adjusted the steering rack (a tsb issued) and found my front passenger side strut had blown. I had to drive a whole month with a blown strut to wait for parts to get in and it was very dangerous. The violent vibrations were still not taken care of. That was...

the first trip. When I finally went in to get the strut fix they balanced my tires yet again. This seem to eliminate the vibrations from 45-55, but at 60-80+ mph there were still violent vibrations and the intensity had not been lessened. I am scheduled for yet another appointment specifically to fix the vibrations. I do not want to go in for a 4th time and have nothing fixed. I am extremely disappointed with the situation, the vehicle, and nissan for letting such an issue as this get so large. Having subscribed on many forums online, ive noticed that I am not the only one with these issues. *Jb

There has been a vibration in the steering since purchase (now 14000 miles). Was originally told that the car has to be broken in and then dealer balanced tires. The car is now at the dealer for the 3rd time. *Jb
