“I was driving north on the muskogee turn pike around mile marker 9 when I heard a noise. I felt shuttering and looked in the rear view mirror and saw a large piece of tire flying through the air. I immediately pulled over and changed the tire. All of the tread was missing and the tire was still inflated. This caused over $1,800 in damage to my car and cause me to have to buy a new set of tires.”
NHTSA complaint #10365849, filed 2010-11, 78,732 miles“I purchases a 2005 Nissan Altima on nov. 2, 2004. On nov. 23, 2004, my back driver's side tire, now having 1400 miles on it blew out. There were no punctures in the tire, the sidewall just blew out while driving down the interstate. The tires were continentals. Neither superior Nissan, Nissan USA, nor continental would replace my tire.”

NHTSA complaint #10116771, filed 2005-04, 100 miles“I have had nothing but problems from my 2005 Altima that I purchased new in sept 05. The first week I owned the vehicle my engine light came on and the vehicle was very sluggish from takeoff, I then called the dealership where I purchased the vehicle and was told that all Nissan are sluggish and need to be driven to get the newness from the vehicle what kind of crap is that. About 6 months ago, I noticed that my brakes are squealing and my tires needed to be replaced, I don't even have 20k miles on my vehicle so this is very mysterious to me. …”
