| Description of the problem | 2010 nissan cube. Horrible handling conditions in winds over 25 mph. Tire light would come off and on. Thought it was due to cold and hot weather. Took vehicle in to ed hicks nissan because of the handling. They said it was tire. Put nitrogen in tires. I had also been informed that they sale the cars with this so did not know how this would resolve issue. 24 hours later light comes on again and stays on. Had tire pressure checked-showed all 35. Drove with this light on for a week-live 60 miles from dealer was waiting for a day when i drove in. Anyway-had a tire blow out but did not even know it for a mile due to it being left rear and could not go by tire pressure light. Tire was smoking horribly. There are horrible glare effects on the windows especially at night. The dash lights reflect so bad you have to roll down window to see cars in mirrors. If you loosen your grip at all even slightly in wind the car veers into the other lanes. Dealers trying to act like i am just being a fickle woman. |
