| Description of the problem | Low tire pressure sensors are malfunctioning, but rather than fix them under warranty, the nissan dealer and nissan both recommended that i over-inflate the tires to 39 psi, when the correct tire pressure is stated as 35 psi on both the door frame sticker and the manual. This is a dangerous condition that can lead to death and injury. Both the dealer and nissan consumer affairs failed to stop giving our this dangerous recommendation when i alerted them to the dangers of overinflated tires. Many motorists in denver may be driving on overinflated tires at the recommendation of nissan and their dealer. |
