2000 Nissan Sentra Tires & Wheels Problems

ON 12-22-07 I PURCHASED 4 BRAND NEW GOODYEAR 45,000 MILE TIRES. A YEAR AND A HALF LATER, AFTER PUTTING APPROXIMATELY 25,000 MILES ON THE TIRES, I BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS. ON 6-27-09, MY FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT. ON 7-20-09, MY REAR DRIVERS SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT. ON 7-31-09, MY REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT. AS I RARELY DRIVE MY VEHICLE, ALL 3 OF THESE BLOWOUTS WERE NOT ONLY WITHIN A MONTH'S TIME, BUT HAPPENED WITHIN 1000 MILES. I DID NOT KEEP THE FIRST 2 DAMAGED TIRES BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A RUN OF BAD LUCK. HOWEVER, AS SOON AS THE THIRD TIRE BLEW OUT, I KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM SO I SAVED NOT ONLY THE THIRD BLOWN TIRE, BUT ALSO THE ONE "GOOD" TIRE THAT HADN'T EXPLODED YET. **ON YOUR FORMS I CANNOT FIND MY EXACT TIRES. THEY ARE GOODYEAR GPS3 SPORT, 1857014. *TR

A LOUD NOISE STARTED COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER PULL OVER AND NOTICED THAT THE RIGHT REAR SIDE TIRE HAD BLOWN. AFTER CHANGING THE TIRE,THE DRIVER DROVE TO THE DEALER. THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE DRIVER THAT THE CAUSED CAN NOT BE DETERMINED. FIRESTONE FIRE HAWK G2A02 P195/55R16. PLEASE FILL IN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON #DOT NUMBER. *NM

REAR LEFT WHEEL STUDS FAILING BECAUSE OF RUST. HAD TO REPLACE 2 TODAY, HAD TO REPLACE THE FIRST 2 LAST YEAR. *NM

TWO WHEEL LUGS, NUTS AND STUDS WERE BROKEN IN THE PROCESS OF TIRE ROTATION SERVICE THAT WAS PERFORMANCED BY THE RIVERSIDE NISSAN DEALER. HAD THIS HAPPENDED DURING DRIVING, IT WOULD HAVE INCURED AN ACCIDENT. THIS VEHICLE HAD NO IMPACT OR ACCIDENT BEFORE THAT COULD POTENTIALLY DAMAGE THAT PART. AND THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEING USED OFF-ROAD. SO, I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECT OF THE PART, WHICH SHOULD BE RECALLED TO AVOID ANY POSSIBLE ACCIDENTS IN SIMILAR VEHICLES. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH, THE FRONT WHEEL DISCONNECTED FROM VEHICLE. RECALL REPAIRS ON THE STEEL WHEELS WERE DONE ON JANUARY 10, 2002. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT OR INJURIES. *AK *SCC

CONSUMER RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE 01V277000/ MANUFACTURER'S RECALL R1005/3, AND TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER. DEALER URGED CONSUMER TO BRING VEHICLE BACK ON DECEMBER 31,2001 TO CHECK WHEEL. WHEN CALLING DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS, DEALERSHIP INDICATED WOULD NOT SERVICE VEHICLE. *AK

THE VEHICLE MADE A THUMPING SOUND DUE TO THE FRONT LEFT TIRE BEGINNING TO SEPARATE PREMATURELY, CAUSING WHEEL TO BEND. THE CONSUMER HAD ALL TIRES REPLACED AND WANTS A REFUND FROM THE TIRE DEALER, BRIDGESTONE P185/65R14. *YH

CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THAT THE WHEEL HAD A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. WHEN VEHICLE ARRIVED FOR INSPECTION, CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THAT EVERYTHING WAS OKAY, BUT THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT HAVE REPLACEMENT WHEELS. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THE TIRE TORE APART (SEPARATING IN HALF IN THE DIAMETER OF THE HOLES) RELEASING THE FRONT TIRE AT 55 MPH CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO VEHICLE. *TT

CONSUMER WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT RECALL OVI-277 WOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED IF CRACKS WERE EVIDENT IN THE WHEELS, IF NOT THE WHEEL COULD NOT BE REPLACED UNTIL DEC, THE CONSUMER IS NOT SATISFIED. *MJ
