| Description of the problem | I purchased this vehicle new in nov 2011. There was no snow that winter. This year was a normal winter. I could not believe how dangerous it was to drive in the snow with this vehicle. On the date of the incident i lost control in snow and ice and nearly crashed. The "all wheel drive" did nothing at all to correct the problem. I contacted nissan customer service and filed a complaint (#10800081). They do not return calls and did not attempt to help resolve the problem. I discovered that nissan installed a high performance sport "v" rated tire on this light 4 cylinder cross over. When i contacted dunlop they did not hesitate to advise that i replace the tires with a goodyear assurance comfortred touring tire for maximum wet, dry and snow conditions. I feel these tires(dunlop high performance sp sport 7000 a/s size 225/55/18) on this vehicle in new england states pose an extreme hazard and danger to owners of this vehicle and nissan should take responsibility for a recall. |
