Description of the problem	I took possession of my 2004 nissan maxima in the first week of january 2005. I noticed a constant, but gradual tire pressure issue. I took the car to the local nissan dealership and they indicated the tire had to be patched. I asked about the actual sidewall and they did not feel there were any problems involving the sidewalls. I took the car to an independent dealership that felt there was indeed some manufacturer problem with the tires. I called the dealership and they reported that there were no recalls and that the warranty would not cover this issue. They explained that if i chose to i could initiate a claim with both or either the good year eagle manufacturer or nissan. The good year eagles installed on my maxima had less than 11,000 miles and as the dealership was not amenable to reconciling their opinion on the tires to that of an independent tire inspection i decided the best course of action was to replace the good year eagle tires with nokian tires. This replacement occurred on october 6, 2006 with only 11,000 miles on the tires. I was very hesitant to drive the car due to the tire pressure. I was filling the tires every two-three days to maintain some type of safety while driving. When i applied for the reimbursement on the goodyear eagle rs-a tires my claim was denied because there was no indication that the replacement was due to 'a sidewall issue.' who in their right minds would willingly choose to replace 4 tires at once with brand new tires at only 11,000 miles if there was no safety issue??? Of course this is a safety issue and i wasn't willing to be involved in an accident to prove the point. The following is a website (just one of many) that notes the issues and lack of company response. Www. Consumeraffairs. Com/tires/goodyear_tires. Html. Clearly the company is not correcting or reimbursing consumers for their faulty products. I spent what i consider to be a good deal of money to make my 'dream' car safe to drive. *jb

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
