I recently purchased a 98 Maxima with 40,000 miles from a local dealer. I got a great price and was very happy. I did a vehicle history and found nothing wrong, the car was a company lease for 3 years. However the first time I drove my car on the highway I noticed at speeds above 60 that my wheel would begin to vibrate. I returned to the dealer and they said the tires needed to be balanced, they balanced them and the car was fine for about 2 weeks. The vibrating began again and I returned to the dealer and they balanced them 2 more times. Finally a mechanic at the dealership found that 2 rims were severly bent and they needed to be replaced. Even after the two new rims are on, the wheel still vibrates when traveling over 65. The car rides great around town and is in great condition. Now I am trying to figure out whether to return it to the dealer for a refund and get a different car or continue bringing this car to the dealer until the problem is fixed. Sorry about the length of this message, if anyone has any advice I would greatly appreciate it

maybe the tires are unevenly worn and u need an alignment badly.

Did they put the same tires back on?

swalsh

yes, they put the same 4 tires back on. They all seem very new with good tread, but maybe being on bent rims affected them??

Draino

most likely yea, did they rotate the tires when they put them back on?

swalsh

yes they did rotate all four. do you think putting on four brand new tires would solve problem? or is it a bigger issue?

Check the alignment, it could be that.
