1. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? My passenger-side rear tire blew out, while I was driving on I-85 in NC. I have a photo of the tire while it was on the rack at the AAA repair shop. The temperature was normal outside, and I did not see any debris in the road. 2. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? This occured at 3:50 p.m. on a weekday, and the safety of myself and the drivers around me was at risk, when the tire blew out and it was difficult to control my car on the intersstate. 3. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? The car was towed to a AAA service center, and I have photos of the tire that blew out, as well as the driver's-side rear tire that is also deformed. 4. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No, but I emailed Toyo with a report that I thought there might be an issue on Nov. 9, 2023. I was towed to a AAA service center. I have photos and the reciept from having to replace both rear tires, and get a re-alignment. 5. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No. This was a sudden blow-out on the interstate while traveling. However, the car did begin shaking, so I was trying to pull to the slow lane when the tire blew out.

The TPMS sensors were all checked at costco and the reset by the technicians to relearn the program. They stated that if the TPMS comes back on that I will need to take to a dealer to get it figured out since it could be the computer. Called the dealer to find out costs that they said the diagnostic would be $65 which would be credited for any services that need to be done. As this is a safety issue it cannot be not done but if this were also a federal safety mandated issue such as an airbag it should not "deploy" unless the tire pressure is low. Both times at costco and again when the light came on again the tire pressure was at the specified 33 psi. If an airbag were to be defective that would cause a danger to life and property but due to this safety measure not threatening life or limb it does not need to be zero defects and the user can get billed for any defects unlike an airbag.

Fuzion touring 185/65r15 fuztour blew out on interstate 75 near wildwood florida. Driver side front. Replaced under prorated warranty. Second tire from same set blew out in a very similar fashion on june 6, 2014 on interstate 75. Luckily, no accident or injury. Contacted bridgestone and the tire choice where purchased (by previous owner). Since I am not the purchaser, they will not do anything. My primary concern is that tires with less than 11,000 miles blow out at highway speeds.

Soon after our purchase, 6/07, the light came on, its been back to many different dealers over a dozen times,,.it cannot be disconnected, disengaged. Reprogramming is one option, replacing at $150/visit per wheel is the other option. We have had both on multiple occasions. Our problem is, that the sensor when it fails, tells the tire to reduce pressure. A perfectly good tire filled with 37 psi will in 24 hours come down to 20 psi... This is a disaster and I am surprised there has been no class action law suits... I have spent time and money, replaced tires to prove the point, and after almost 6 years am ready to give up... Something so simple and stupid cannot be fixed or removed.. Nissan dealers blame it on pot holes, corrosion, or bad manufactured tires. American roads are filled with these perils and the system designed by nissan is a failure because it cannot stand up... I own 9 other vehicles made after 2007 and not of the others have had any problems like this..

We were traveling on the interstate when we noticed the car started shaking then a loud pop was heard. Fortunately my daughter maintained control of the car and guided to the median safely. When we got out we saw that the tire had shredded away from the tube about half way around..

The TPMS system in my 2007 versa has stopped working properly. It has failed and came on with the tire pressure fine. I have taken it to a dealer and they told me the first time that I had one tire that was 1lb low and that it would shut off within the next 5 miles or so/. It did to come back on in 10 miles. I have talked to them several times and they tell me that they will put it on their machine to test it for $45.

The TPMS light comes on though tires are properly inflated. Manufacturer's instructions for reset do not work. I've had it to the dealer twice for this problem. They reset it, after implying that after 40+ years of driving, I don't know how to inflate a tire. After awhile it comes on again.
