Message	dealerships. They consistently failled to diagnose ANY of the problems on my car, and went so far as to tell me I was "overdriving" my radial tires for an explanation as to why the car wandered all over the place on rough roads and pulled on brakeing(can you say TENSION RODS?). Also, they said -3 degrees of camber or whatever I had was "normal", and then I took it to a mom and pop alignment shop in a tiny BFE TX town and they guys there were smart enough to point out that my upper arm bushigns in front were so shot the car was not able to be aligned. I'd say run from any Nissan dealership or mechanic as fast as you can. Not only are they clueless, they will straight faced give you wrong info, then charge you out the ass for it.
