“Bought a 2009 Nissan Maxima on 4/21/2011, it had 25206 miles on it, I currently have 37000 miles on it. I have had to add air to my tires at least once a week, on christmas day I came out to a flat tire, removed wheel and noticed the inside wall had several spider web cracks on it, one was bad enough to leak air. I would like to now if anyone else has reported this problem?”
NHTSA complaint #10441972, filed 2011-12, 37,000 miles“On july 8, 2014 (10 days after the tires were purchased and only the 4th time I had driven on the new tires) I was driving my son to physical therapy (about 15 miles away) on the interstate in baton rouge, the car was feeling a lil shaky but I thought it was the road conditions knowing I had just purchased new tires. When we were returning home my tire light came on and I stopped to look at the tires. I got out looked for a flat did not see any low tires and then returned to driving home. …”
NHTSA complaint #10626174, filed 2014-08, 46,842 miles“I should be getting 4 new tires from my auto dealer in a program that is if I service my car with them I get tires when they meet the required wear. Some time ago I had to replace one tire due to a road hazard and now only 3 tires meet the wear requirement. Now I have asked several tire retailers about this and received several different replies about the wear amount but all said if the 4th tire has less half wear left it is dangerous not to replace the 4th tire. The 4th tire has been measured at 6/32 wear left and I?m told that is less than half but I/m not getting the 4th tire replaced. …”
