33000 mi Suspension making clunking noise. Per dealer, leaking strut 
79000 mi The front right strut bearing sticks when turning. After speaking with a former Nissan mechanic he has said its a known issue with the larger heavier vehicles. Has occurred since about 40K miles, Nissan considers out of warranty. 
110000 mi We had problems with the suspension starting at about 30k miles, the manufacturer was never able to duplicate it so it persisted until and after the warranty expired. When we purchased the car off lease we also purchased the extended warranty. The car was brought back in for the initial suspension concern at which point it was determined the original suspension was bad. We had full suspension replacement on the front end.
