| Description of the problem | My car incurred a flat tire. Car towed to dealer who said the flat was caused by a screw which is worn away and caused the tire sensor to display and the flat occurred. Serving dealer said i need to replace all sensors and screws. I checked online and found a recall for this very issue. I found through the dealer that the recall was performed on only one sensor/tire... Not all of them. Now i have a bill for over $550 to replace all the sensors and screws even though the recall was never fully performed. Contacted nissan headquarters and they said the recall was closed out. I explained the recall was never fully completed. They still do not acknowledge this is safety issue. Please see attached article: http://www. Autoblog.
