ON 12-22-07 I PURCHASED 4 BRAND NEW GOODYEAR 45,000 MILE TIRES. A YEAR AND A HALF LATER, AFTER PUTTING APPROXIMATELY 25,000 MILES ON THE TIRES, I BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS. ON 6-27-09, MY FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT. ON 7-20-09, MY REAR DRIVERS SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT. ON 7-31-09, MY REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT. AS I RARELY DRIVE MY VEHICLE, ALL 3 OF THESE BLOWOUTS WERE NOT ONLY WITHIN A MONTH'S TIME, BUT HAPPENED WITHIN 1000 MILES. I DID NOT KEEP THE FIRST 2 DAMAGED TIRES BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A RUN OF BAD LUCK. HOWEVER, AS SOON AS THE THIRD TIRE BLEW OUT, I KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM SO I SAVED NOT ONLY THE THIRD BLOWN TIRE, BUT ALSO THE ONE "GOOD" TIRE THAT HADN'T EXPLODED YET. **ON YOUR FORMS I CANNOT FIND MY EXACT TIRES. THEY ARE GOODYEAR GPS3 SPORT, 1857014. *TR

NISSAN DEALERSHIP SERVICE DIAGNOSED AIR FLOW METER FAILURE - ENGINE LIGHT ON P0171 B1 FUEL LEAN. EVENT HAPPENED AT SAME TIME AS WHEN THE CRANK SENSOR AND ECM CASE RECALL WORK DONE EXCEPT DEALERSHIP CLAIMS SEPARATE - NOT PART OF COVERED RECALL WORK. AUTO ONLY HAS 64,889 MILES AND DEALERSHIP CLAIMS ENGINE TROUBLE AND REPAIR OVER $600. NISSAN DEALERSHIP STATED TOYOTA SLAES DEALERSHIP SHOULD HAVE NOTICED THIS DURING CLAIMED 160 POINT INSPECTION, AS COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENDED IN SHORT TIME OF MY OWNERSHIP. TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHO SOLD IT ALSO DID NOT REPAIR OR DISCLOSE WHEEL RECALL AND OWNER, IN JUST ONE YEAR OF OWNERSHIP, HAD TO REPLACE THREE FLAT/DAMAGED AND IRREPAIRABLE TIRES AS A RESULT, OUT-OF-POCKET. NOW FOR NISSAN TO DIAGNOSE ENGINE AIR FLOW METER FAILURE AT SAME TIME AS OTHER ENGINE RECALLS IS JUST TOO IRONIC TIMING. BELIEVE SHOULD BE PART OF THESE SAME RELATED OR ANOTHER RECALL.*AK
