2008 Nissan Versa tires complaints

Filed Nov 17, 2010 · Tires · 50,000 miles · NY

This is my first new car I have ever own and have put more money into it then any of my old cars. About a month after I bought it in april of 2010 I immediately had problems with the tires and hubcaps. One of my hubcaps fell off and I had to replace it. It fell off due to a clip that was initially missing on it when I first bought it. Following that came my tire problems. For the past 7 months I have dealt with tire pressure problems. As a matter of fact I have been getting my tires refilled about two times a week. Finally I decided to have them resealed(cost 27$ a tire) and as they were doing that they found that my tire pressure sensor inside the tire was corroded. Therefore I had to spend 97$ and have them replace this because it was beyond saving. Two days later I ended up back at the tire place for them to tell me that I need to replace more sensors. Im very unhappy about my new car, if I would have known I was going to have so many issues with the tires I would have bought a different brand. I didn't buy a new car to have problems with it, this was the problems I was trying to get away from!!

2008 versa, car started making whining noise, brought back and was told tires had cupping (sp?) and that it needed to be brought back to the dealer. Night before dealer appt. Back tired shredded while traveling on major interstate. Looked up complaints under tires on this site and there is a pending investigation onto the continental tires for "allege sudden and catastrophic failure of tire including tread separation" nissan dealer says that they will not replace the back tire because blow out was due to road hazards. Sent them the investigation link. Waiting to hear how they will handle. These tires are dangerous and could be putting lives in danger. (mileage listed may be 10-15 miles less than on odometer... Do not have vehicle still at dealership).
