| Description of the problem | Driving on i-79 - light out - many others on road - no debris - tire blew out - sensor on and immediate blowout - no prior problems and had not run over anything prior. Nissan terribly unresponsive. Had to proactively call them 10-20 times. 1st person couldn't converse in english - gave me false information. Supervisor was constantly unavailable and never returned calls. Ultimately they said they didn't have similar reports. I don't believe them. Tire company said saw this problem many times - says the tire sensor corroded and fell into the tire which sprang the leak. Found no other damage to tire. Could have died on that highway. Most people wouldn't take the time to write this so i'm doing it for them. Shame on the company for doing nothing to research it further. Wouldn't even pay for the tire. |
