| Description of the problem | 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. |
