2006 Nissan Maxima

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL FOUR OF THE TIRES KEPT GOING FLAT. THE INNER BEAD WHERE THE CHROME IS LOCATED CONTINUED TO DETERIORATE, WHICH CAUSED THE TIRES TO FLATTEN. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY VOIDED THE WARRANTY BECAUSE ARMOR ALL WAS APPLIED TO THE TIRES, WHICH CAUSED THEM TO FLATTEN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,509.

MY GOODYEAR RSA TIRE FLEW APART WHILE TRAVELING 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. THE TIRE WAS PROPERLY INFLATED. THE SIDEWALL CAVED IN. THE TIRE DIDN'T HAVE ANY VISUAL DEFECTS PRIOR TO THE BLOWOUT. TRULY CONCERNED WITH THE OTHER TIRES, SIMPLY VANISHING FROM BENEATH THE CAR WITHOUT WARNING. I WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IF THE TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE WAS CONGESTED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN MAXIMA WITH GOODYEAR EAGLE RSA SIZE 24545R18. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH THE VEHICLE VIBRATED AND THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER TIRE SIDE WALL BLEW. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND CHANGED THE TIRE. THE CONTACT STATED THERE WERE VISIBLE SIGNS OF CRACKS OR BUBBLES. THE MANUFACTURER REPLACED THE TIRE THAT BLEW, AND WANTED TO CHARGE $100.00 EACH TO INSPECT THE OTHER THREE TIRES. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 16,000. THE DOT NUMBER WAS UNAVAILABLE.

2006 EAGLE TIRES HAVE CRACKING ON THE SIDEWALLS. THERE IS ALREADY A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION RECALL FOR 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA'S. I HAVE A 2006 WITH THE SAME TIRES (NEWER) BUT SAME IDENTICAL PROBLEM. GOODYEAR DEALER DID NOT WANT TO REPLACE TIRES AS THEY SAY 2006 IS NOT PART OF CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. 3 OUT OF 4 TIRES WERE SPLITTING ON SIDEWALLS. PLEASE TAKE NOTE THAT CONSUMERS ARE STILL HAVING THE PROBLEM WITH NEWER MODELS. ALTHOUGH THEY PUT NEW TIRES ON MY VEHICLE, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WITH THEM ON. *TR

PURCHASED VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER 2005. TIRES WERE ROTATED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN APRIL 2006 SERVICE. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE EXPERIENCED EXCESSIVE VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL AT A CONSTANT SPEED OF 55MPH. EXCESSIVE VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL IS EXPERIENCED AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 45MPH TO 60MPH. EXCESSIVE VIBRATION STOPS IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND BEGINS IN THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AT SPEEDS THAT EXEED 60MPH. RETURNED VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHERE THE PROBLEM WAS UNRESOLVED. TECHNICIAN ADVISED ME THAT THE PROBLEM MAY BE A DEFECTIVE TIRE. MADE CONTACT WITH NISSAN CORPORATION OF AMERICA (REF# 5602757)WHERE I WAS ADVISED THAT THERE WERE NO REPORTED COMPLAINTS, RECALLS OR DEFECTS RECORDED. I WAS ADVISED TO RETURN TO LOCAL AREA DEALERSHIP AND SPEAK WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER. MAKING CONTACT WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS UNSUCCESSFUL, EVEN AFTER LEAVING MESSAGE. FEBRUARY 2007 CONTACTED GOODYEAR TIRE PER THE ADVICE OF THE DEALERSHIP TECHNICIAN AND REPLACE ALLEGED DEFECTIVE TIRE AT COST TO ME. TO THIS DATE, THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST.
