Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)I purchased and had installed 4 - Nokian Tyres One 215/55/17 on [XXX]. I brought my car to my Lexus dealer on [XXX] for routine car maintenance. When inspected, all four tires had a circumferential crack on the interior side wall. They were deep and went virtually around the entire tire. I was told not to drive the car and replace the tires immediately. At that point, we had put 30,000 miles on the tires and there was still plenty of tread. We returned to our tire dealer, and when he contacted Nokian, they said that this had been a problem with this group of tires, and although there wasn't a recall, they were replacing the tires for free on an "as-needed" basis. Our dealer replaced the tires, although I must say I am leery of this brand. In any event, there should be a formal recall on these tires.

TAKATA RECALL- I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE 2008 LEXUS ES350 IN FEB.2017 AND THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WAS ON AND I WAS TOLD BY THE SELLER THAT IT WOULD GO OFF ONCE I DRIVE IT FOR A FEW MINUTES AFTER TAKING IT HOME, A FEW DAYS LATER IT WAS STILL ON. TOOK IT BACK AND WAS TOLD THE SPARE TIRE WAS A LITTLE DEFLATED AND THAT MAY HAVE BEEN THE CAUSE. TOOK IT HOME AND ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER IT WAS BACK ON AGAIN.TOOK IT BACK AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A TINY PIN HOLE IN THE TIRE THAT WAS MISSED AND WAS CORRECTED. TOOK IT HOME AND MAYBE A FEW WEEKS LATER IT WAS BACK ON AGAIN. I WENT BACK AND TOLD THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IT COULD POSSIBLY BE A SENSOR. THE DEALER THEN HAD MY CAR SENT TO THE LEXUS DEALER TO FIX IT AND I GOT IT BACK THE NEXT DAY AND IT STAYED OFF FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS THEN CAME BACK ON AGAIN. TOOK IT BACK AND SPOKE TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS THEN TOLD IT WAS DEFINITELY THE SENSOR AND I WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO "NEXT LEVEL" WHICH IS A SHOP THAT MAKES REPAIRS AND THIS WAS 2 WEEKS AGO WHICH I HAVEN'T SINCE THE LIGHT HAVEN'T CAME BACK ON AS OF TODAY. ALL OF THE TIMES IT CAME ON, IT WAS PARKED, AND WHEN IT WAS TURNED ON THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WAS ON.THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN CORRECTED BY THE DEALER SINCE IT WAS AN ISSUE FROM THE BEGINNING....
