“I bought a 2010 Nissan Altima from pittsburgh east Nissan in monroeville, pa. After 14,000 miles the tires were worn out. I complained but I was told because they were performance tires that was about right on the mileage. I complained some more and they said that they would give me a 50% discount on the tires but only if I bought the same ones. I got tires from another place and will not be getting any other cars from this dealership.”
NHTSA complaint #10397465, filed 2011-04, 14,020 miles“2010 Nissan Altima s (purchased new 12/7/09) and as part of the incentive to buy the vehicle, the dealership had after market leather installed and from there the problems have been non-stop. At this point, I believe the problem is electrical.

NHTSA complaint #10386702, filed 2011-03, 1,000 miles“I put air into the front driver side tire of my 2010 Nissan Altima and the tire censor broke while doing so. I took the car to dave's Nissan of jackson to be fixed, when they later informed me the censor was not covered under warranty. The design of the tire stem should be looked at so the censor breaking does not happen to people in the future that attempt to put air into their tires. Nissan is unwilling to cooperate with me on this issue so I had to take matters into my own hands and contact DOT for assistance with this matter.”

I had the tires rebalanced, rotated and an independent shop wheel alignment to no avail. The tires are showing a choppy or feathering wear pattern.
