wuhoo!!!
Getting both my fronts replaced and 4 wheel alignment free @ 19800k miles. Just last week the shmuck at another dealer told me the 12k mile NTB with no mention of this one. But when I went to another dealer for an oil change I was talking to a friend about it and upon him talking to the tech the tech wiped out NTB04-043 and made my weekend...tires are nearly completely bald on the inside. She's due in May 1st.

Took mine in today - I'll find out in a couple of hours what, if anything, they've done.
One interesting note, when I talked to the service manager this morning she said they would have to order replacements, if needed, and it would take 10 days so I'd have to bring it back - even though there is a Bridgestone shop across the road from the dealer.
I just rechecked the TSB and it explicitly states "Do NOT order tires from Nissan. If needed, order tires directly from your local Bridgestone tire supply source".
Anyone else experienced this?

I had my tires replaced and alignment done and my car handles very poorly now, on the highway its like driving a SUV on a very windy day. Always having to constantly correct steering.
Does anybody have any Ideas Nissan is still looking into the problem I also have the new alignment settings if anyone wants to see them.

I read somewhere back - the warranty is now 24 months - unlimited mileage. I just have 4600 miles - so far no problem - I can take my hands off the steering wheel and it will drive straight. Have had NO problems with the car.
