At highway speed of 65 MPH, passenger-rear tire started to make slight thumping sound. After a few minutes, it became much louder. I pulled off the road to investigate and found that treads were completely delaminating from tire. Tire was inflated to 74 psi and they have always been properly maintained. Only 24,000 miles on tire (vehicle purchased new in Feb, 2019). No injuries but had I not pulled over right away, there is no doubt that a blowout would have occurred with potentially devastating consequences. The vehicle is a 2018 Nissan Titan XD, Platinum Reserve, purchased at Baxter, Nissan of Bellevue, Nebraska.

My 2021 Titan, which I bought new in June of 2021 had a sidewall crack while driving. I did read, when I googled Continental/General tires that there has been a recall on Titan and Altima tires due to sidewall blowouts and cracks. The dealership said they never received anything about tires, however, My Titan had a 2 inch crack develop while driving, and I only have 3K miles on the truck. I do not feel real safe with the other 3 on it. This should be looked into.

In january 2021, I took the vehicle in due to tire separation and was told to take to a tire dealer. I had the general grabber apt on my titan. I went to a tire dealer and found I had 3 out of 4 tires that were defective. One could be prorated but the others were not. I ended up purchasing a brand new set of tires and due to the issue on these tires with less that 3000 miles on them, I purchased a different brand altogether. I went to the dealer in april for an issue and found that nissan has started to replace these tires based upon a recall. I am now out the money that I paid after I had complained that this tire had already had a safety issue yet now the manufacturer of the tire is replacing them. I have no problem sending the receipt of the tires purchased but will wait until asked.

Michelin ltx m/s2 p265/70r18 tires, 70000 mile warranty, properly inflated (tire sensors) and rotated, even wear at about half wear life(based on unrotated spare). 38,561 miles on tires. Rear passenger tire failure (crack between tread) at approx 30 MPH. Unrepairable due to tread cracking. Upon inspection, all tires except spare have sidewall cracking adjacent to rim, longitudinal crack at inside of exterior and interior tread, and cracking slits sim to failure intermittently between treads. Tire shop recommended replacement and called it severe weather checking. The combination of low miles and minimal tread wear makes this premature failure a safety risk. Reported to michelin and they blamed it on age. The tires are under seven years old.

My titan came with 20" chrome wheels but when I purchased the truck I added a nissan approved lift kit and tires/wheels. The dealer did not return any of the original equipment yesterday I had what I thought was a blow out the tire separated from the side wall luckily I could get off the interstate well since I added the lift and tires and did not get the original equipment back the lugs do not fit the spare tire so my truck had to be limped in the dealer is aware of the issue but do not give back the original lugs and are not concerned that this spare tire could easily come off going down the highway. I was going down interstate 20/59 when this happened

Was driving on the freeway home from work and in a split second the back end of the truck started bouncing and became hard to steer. I slowed down and was getting ready to pull over onto the shoulder when a big chunk of my tire separated and came flying off over my truck hitting the car beside me. I slowed down even more and pulled off onto the shoulder of the highway, ( all of this happened in less than 1 mile) when I got out I was so upset when I discovered the damage the separation of the defective tire had caused to my truck and the car of a very irate driver these tires did not have more than 20,000 miles on them. The tire totally wrecked my undercarriage, including the rods, supports and liner for the wheel well, plus the wheel well, rear quarter panel and bumper. There are also damages to the front quarter panel of the other vehicle. I have a $1000.00 deductible and now am unable to afford repairs or tires, I need to be able to work and need cooper tires to pay for the damages and defective tires please.

This is the second time in over several months that my driver side drive axle for my 4x4 has pulled its self out. It was fixed once on my dime and is now going to be fixed on my dime again it is a dangerous failure that could cause my suspension to lock up an rip my wheel off then leading to a serious accident. It needs to be addressed and the federal safety agency has done nothing to pursue this. Another problem that nissan will not cover is the rear axle seals that blow out due to a faulty design which may also lead to a serious accident, they will not address any of these issues under a recall an there are thousands of people that are suffering from these issues from 04-010 for the axle seals and model years 04-08 for the axle shaft pulling out from the 4x4 causing serious damage to internal and external parts. This needs to be addressed an the federal safety agency is doing nothing about it.

I drove about 20 feet when I heard a loud noise and realized I had fogot the parking brake on. I took it off and drove away. The next day I heard more noise and one of my rear brakes seemed to be dragging. I decided to take it to the dealer. On the highway, all hell broke loose with crazy noise and grinding, then it went away. This happened several times on the way to dealer. With my 4 year old daughter in the back seat I limped the car into the dealer with no emergency brakes working. Thankfully we were all okay and I did not loose control of the vehicle. The dealer said it would be at least $1,700 to fix it as the whole rear axle needed to be replaced due to the seals blowing out and leaking out all over the pads. I have not had any problem with this vehicle except for brakes, brakes and more brake issues. I think the e brake being on may have caused the seal to blow out then the axle and brakes just melted. Something is wrong with this vehicles brake design. If these seals are know to be bad by nissan they should at least recommend replacing them so owners can protect themselves and avoid accidents,
