Hi ClubArmada,
Before I begin I'd like to just say that I'm a huge fan of the Armada and i think this forum in due time will get as large as the sister site ClubTitan. I already got some great feedback from other members of this site on questions I don't think anyone else but Armada owners would know.
Let me start off by saying that I'm a 5 time Nissan owner and have been dying for the Armada since it came out. With that being said, let me tell you about my Armada I just bought (As you can tell by my set up, it's gonna be a negative one):
I bought my car on Dec5( 2004 LE 2X4 (Production 1/04)), It had custom rims on it and no dvd. I had them install an aftermarket DVD and take off the custom rims for stock. I finally got delivery of it on Dec8 late afternoon to my work (it's about 30 miles from the dealership to my work). On my way home I noticed a visible shake in steering @ 60mph and anything greater in speed caused an uncontrollable steering shake (my arms got numb after a couple minutes). So now the vehicle is in service on Dec9. I get a call back on Dec10 saying all 4 tires are bad and they need to be replaced but they can't do it until Dec13. Fine. So it's Dec13 and I get a call from the service dept and they say because the tires arent covered under factory warranty, i would have to drive the car myself to Discount Tires and deal with them myself. What!?
40K+$ vehicle, barely got to drive it and now I have to drive 30 miles to the dealership, take the car to Discount Tires that 1/2 a mile away from the dealer, and drive back to work another 30 miles?! Unacceptable.
Complaint called made to Nissan Consumer Affairs...
I guess my question to the group would be:
1. Has anyone else had issues with Continental brand tires on the Armadas?
2. What advise would you give to someone in my situation? I'm not too familiar with the car industry as a whole.
Moderator, feel free to move this thread to another location if this isn't the correct location.
This was more of a venting session.. I feel better now..Free forum and free psychological session.. I love it!!
I love the Armada so don't take this as a bashing session. Hopefully this will get resolved and I can finally post some pix up!!
