Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 65 MPH AROUND 7:00 AM, THE CAR STARTED TO SHAKE AND WAS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL, THEN STOPPED SHAKING AND THE TIRE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ABLE TO GET VEHICLE TO DISCOUNT TIRE. TIRE WAS SHREDDED AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. TIRE WAS THE PIRELLI CINTURATO STRADA AS 245/45 R18 100V
THE NISSAN MAXIMA HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE MAINTENANCE FACILITY REGARDING AN ISSUE WITH THE TIRES CONSISTENTLY LOSING AIR PRESSURE. FOUR NEW TIRES WERE PLACED ON THE VEHICLE AT THE NISSAN DEALER AND THE SAME PROBLEM EXISTS. WE RECENTLY DROVE TO THE END OF OUR DRIVEWAY FOR DISTANCE TRAVEL AND THE TIRES LOCKED, SKIDDED AND SOUNDED AS IF METAL WAS TOUCHING METAL. WE PARKED THE VEHICLE AND HAD TO TAKE OTHER MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. EACH TIME WE TAKE THE VEHICLE INTO THE NISSAN DEALER FOR THIS AND SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, WE'RE TOLD IT MAY BE THE WEATHER, OR THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT WHICH STAYS ON MAY BE DUE TO A DEFECTIVE FUSE, BUT THAT WAS NO GUARANTEE THAT THE TIRE ISSUE WOULD BE RESOLVED. WE GET DIFFERENT POSSIBILITY ISSUES EACH TIME WE GO IN. WE HESITATE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR POSSIBILITY OF BEING STRANDED ALONGSIDE A HIGHWAY. WE'RE MAKING PAYMENTS ON AN EXPENSIVE 'PAPER WEIGHT.' THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT STAYS ON, AND EVEN AFTER PUTTING AIR IN THE TIRES, THE TIRES THEMSELVES STILL POSE A PROBLEM. THIS RECENT INCIDENT HAS PUT THE VEHICLE OUT OF USE UNTIL THE NISSAN MAINTENANCE FACILITY CAN GIVE US ANSWERS AS TO WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON WITH THE VEHICLE. NEEDLESS TO SAY, WE HAVE TO PAY FOR THEM TO DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN PUT AIR IN THE TIRES, AND AFTER QUOTING LARGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY FOR WHAT MAY "POSSIBLY' BE THE PROBLEM, WE MAY STILL DRIVE AWAY WITH THE ISSUE. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR OVER 1 1/2 YEARS. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT IS INDICATED BELOW.
