My problem was also ? when I left the battery on red overnight and as the car was up against a wall I couldnt get the electric handbrake to jump start it. Did try a manual unlock but after that a few days before tyres might have done something to the steering. Really not sure. One thing about ATS wont go there again. Going to be a Local independant. At ATS the car was up in the sky with all wheels hanging, prefer wen a trolley jack is used. I'll use the dealer I used yesterday as they knew how to do a steering reset, From the repair manual it states a reset after wheel alignment.
Ok i wonder if this relates to my J10 in anyway...
Ok in a nutshell i just can't see a popular car like this having to have the original type tyres fitted ONLY otherwise it will suffer the out of line steering etc like the problems we are having !!!!! It would be all over the internet with people having this issue, and i can't see that the reason why it isnt is because 99.9% of owners have had original spec tyres fitted just won't be happening.
It MUST be a mechanical issue, ok i get a quality tyre will always be the recommendation but i have NEVER paid over £100 for a tyre in all my life of owning cars and all has been perfect. And they have been higher spec and performance then the QQ!!!
Not only that tyre reviews for most of whats been mentioned on here fall way short of a tyre that cost around 3 quarters of the price, just does not make any sense.
Thing is i want this sorted be it 2 x new tyres ok i will consider it but i am not replacing perfectly good tyres for the issue to still be there.
Sorry rant over just feel that Nisaan or their dealers either rarely come across this ( Which i dont think is correct) or they simply haven't got a clue!!!!
