not sure if this is right section but, At first I thought I had the wrong tires, but I got those replaced with brand new ones according to specs. Then I thought it was the suspension( still might be) but dealer said OK. Then I posted a question and allot of people told me the shocks might be the ones going bad...dealer said ok again. Now my car feels like its gonna come up of the road at 70+ pretty damn scary..and the slip light keeps going of, even on simple lane changes it goes off sometimes. I have no idea whats wrong with the car....any Ideas?? It still feels like am driving on a waterbed, floaty, ...sometimes the car steers its self a little and I have to control it! Driving is no longer a pleasure, it feels more like survival...LOL any ideas or help>?? thanks

If the SLIP light comes on while going that fast, something is wrong. Did any of the techs you took it to, drive it? Does it only happen once in a while, or everytime you drive? Alignment issue maybe? Was it driving like this when you bought it, or did something change to cause this? Like some sort of mechanic work, hit a pot hole, etc... Then it started acting this way.

No its was like that when I bought it, and it only happens sometimes, but it happens at least once a day! Its pretty scary, One of the techs took it for a short drive and of course the it behaved a little. Last night coming home from work it was pretty windy and I was driving on the highway, and the slip light was going off quite a bit, felt like the car was gonna lift of the road...I just dont feel safe at all in this car anymore

The rear wheels and tires are the same size right? Did the installer screw up and put the wrong tires on the wrong wheels on the wrong axle?

And yes I am asking from first hand experience.

I would do a search. I remember reading something about the slip light occasionally during normal driving. I think it was due to having the correct ratio of front to rear tires. Good luck.

take some pics.

iTrader: (7)

Yeah, they are correct. Every time I go over a bump I also hear a thunk noise from the right rear area. Today on my way home the slip light was going on and off for about 15 sec. going 75mph...Am gonna take it to another dealer, eggghh what a headache..other than this problem, the car is perfect!

When you said according to specs, do you mean back to stock specs? Stock rim?
Rim: 18x8 F, 18x8.5 R
Tires: 225/45/18 F, 245/45/18 R?

Yes, Give us the Tire Size for each Wheel.

iTrader: (7)

Yeah, according to stock specs, like it say on the inside of the door panel. I tried to take my car to the dealer and they said they couldnt see my car because it was swamped with people...I hate world car nissan. I treid looking under the car to see if anything looked loose or wrong, but everything looked OK, then again, I dont really know anything when it comes to suspension stuff

you're not really giving any information so people can help you

what exactly is the car doing? under what conditions? Be specific

what is done to the car? Do you have any aftermarker parts? What wheels, what tires? Car ever in an accident?

What exact noise is is making?

And stupid question - have you checked your tire pressure?

gabez33

The car feels like its riding on a water bed, best way I can describe it. IT usually happens when I switch lanes on the highway, or when I come out of a turn. The slip light keeps going of cutting throttle. The car is stock and so are the wheels and the tires are kuhmo ecstas ASX. The car has never been in an accident ...clean carfax, And yeah tire pressure was the first thing I checked. At above 80mph or so the car feels like its gonna lift of the road. And the noise that I keep hearing from the right rear, I checked to see if anything was loose/spare/ anything in trunk...no everything is nice and secure. The noise is kinda like metal hitting metal...thats why I thought maybe the spare was loose back there...but it wasnt...I hope this helps a little

ok...now we try a bit better to help

have you had the car on the alignment rack yet? Any chance of snapping a pic of the rear of the car, license plate level and posting it?

Under what conditions does the noise happen?

gabez33

iTrader: (7)

No, hopefully tomorrow they can check the alignment out. I would have to wait till morning to snap a pic cause its raining over here. Well the noise usually happens when I go over a somewhat decent bump, but its only on the right rear side. Sometimes the car also feels like its going any direction it feels like...And I have to control the wheel to keep it strait. That and of course the water bed ride feel. I really appreciate all the help BTW

Sean

is it easy to push down on any one corner of the car? hear a nosie specific to only one corner when you push? I wonder if you have one spring broken or no longer alighned.

gabez33

iTrader: (7)

I pushed down on all the corners and they seemed ok, I wasnt able to duplicate the noise either, Never had this problem with any car I've owned so am completly clueless here

floating sounds like a bad or loose shock, did u check so see if the rear shocks are bolted in?

BeyJer

iTrader: (17)

this sounds like a bad alignment and or loose suspension components...also could be defective tires.

a good buddy had a similar problem with his s14, bumps on the freeway would unsettle the rear and make it feel like the back was going to come around on a straight road. it turned out to be defective tires...

please make sure to keep us updated and good luck finding the solution.
