| Description of the problem | My 2017 nissan altima is not even a year old and has less then 10,000 miles on it. Driving on the freeway i heard a pop and immediately got off the freeway. My tire, which has great tread, has blown and one of the lugs shot back into the wheel. I believe this is due to a defect with the particular lug. It was not properly secured and became loose causing extensive damage. This should be covered by nissan, but they are refusing to take responsibility for the defect in their product. |
