At approx. 20,000 miles vehicle started to make a rattling/bumping noise in left front. Took it to dealer who said this was a common problem with 2000 nissian's and wouild be replaced only when consumer complained. Dealer replaced left stabilzer bushing and refused to give a copy of w/O saying it "was recorded in computer." At aprox. 45,000 miles left stabilizer bushing failed again and was replaced by mechanic who again stated that this was a problem with nissian. At 67,000 miles both stabilizer bushings have failed and need to be replaced. Had vehicle checked by third mechanic who reaffirmed that stabilizer bushings on Nissan's did not hold up well.
