| Description of the problem | While in traffic on a freeway travelling around 25 mph my back left tire exploded. I heard the boom but did not know what it was. I had not hit anything and was not knocked off course. Fortunately with traffic backed up i was travelling at a lower speed than normal. Shortly after a warning signal came on indicating my back left tire had 00 pressure. My new murano only had 1630 miles on it before the tire blew out. I drove about a mile to an area safe to pull over. A highway patrolman assisted with the removal of the tire. We did not see any damage to the tire. He mentioned it was likely the bead seal wasn't sealed correctly. He wanted to test my other tires but because there was evidence of nitrogen in the tires he chose not to. My tire pressures were around 44 in two tires and 46 in the others before the blowout. I had just taken my car for the first oil change at the nissan dealership i bought my car at maybe two weeks before this and they mentioned they adjusted my tire pressure. |
