There are 4 owner-reported tires & wheels complaints for the 2017 Nissan Altimain NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
On Sunday December 12th just north of Birmingham on I-65 there was a foreign object in the lane (appeared to be a fairly large piece on concrete). It was between 8-9p thus dark. Due to the amount of traffic driver could not swerve to avoid the object. The object bent the front driver wheel which resulted in needing to replace the driver front wheel and tire (OEM Nissan Wheel and cover, third party recycled tire). The object in the road could have caused far worse damage and bodily injury. We do not have a receipt for the $60.00 used tire.
235/45r18 there is a malfunction on this car the tire pressure keeps going out and blowing my tire also the car was giving to me with ran down tires which I was told was dangerous the company imperial auto mall switched the tires and said they was good but the car blew completely out while driving with my kids I alerted the company they did nothing to fix I reported the problem to different companies so they can fix but I was brushed off every time
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 NISSAN ALTIMA. WHILE DRIVING IN THE PARKING LOT, THE CONTACT HEARD A NOISE COMING FROM ONE OF THE TIRES. THE CONTACT EXITED THE VEHICLE AND REALIZED THAT THE TIRE WAS SITTING ON THE RIM. THE TIRE PRESSURE INDICATOR WAS NOT ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE SPECIFIC TIRE WAS NOT SPECIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000. *TT
MY 2017 NISSAN ALTIMA IS NOT EVEN A YEAR OLD AND HAS LESS THEN 10,000 MILES ON IT. DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY I HEARD A POP AND IMMEDIATELY GOT OFF THE FREEWAY. MY TIRE, WHICH HAS GREAT TREAD, HAS BLOWN AND ONE OF THE LUGS SHOT BACK INTO THE WHEEL. I BELIEVE THIS IS DUE TO A DEFECT WITH THE PARTICULAR LUG. IT WAS NOT PROPERLY SECURED AND BECAME LOOSE CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY NISSAN, BUT THEY ARE REFUSING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECT IN THEIR PRODUCT.
