2012 Nissan Rogue Tires & Wheels Problems

THERE IS A TPMS RECALL HOWEVER, MY VIN ISN'T SHOWN AS AFFECTED EVEN THOUGH THE TPMS LIGHT ON MY DASH HAS BEEN ON FOR OVER A YEAR. NO NOTIFICATION FROM NISSAN FOR MY VIN. JUST SEEMS MORE THAN A LITTLE "ODD" THAT IT'S A VALIDATED RECALL ISSUE BUT MINE ISN'T PART OF THE RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 NISSAN ROGUE EQUIPPED WITH YOKOHAMA YK580 TIRES, SIZE: 225/60/R17 (NA). WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO VIBRATE. THE CONTACT CONTINUED DRIVING AND THE VIBRATION WORSENED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NOTICED A BRAKE CHECK AUTOMOBILE CENTER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE CENTER AND THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE HAD A BUBBLE WITH TREAD SEPARATION AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TIRE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT LATER TOOK THE TIRE TO DISCOUNT TIRES (LOCATED ON 10331 BROADWAY ST, PEARLAND TX 77584) AND THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT SHE HAD GONE OVER THE MILEAGE FOR THE WARRANTY AND WAS SUPPOSED TO REPLACE THE TIRE AT 60,000 MILES. THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,389 AND THE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 11,542.

TIRES ARE UNSAFE DANGEROUS AND SHOULD NOT BE MANUFACTURED. NO TRACTION IN WET, SNOW OR ICE, CONSTANT PULLING IN THE WHEEL DUE TO THE TIRE TREAD DESIGN, PRIOR SET ON DAUGHTERS CAR LASTED ONLY 19,000 MILES, THIS TIRE HAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR SAFETY REASONS,

DUNLOP TIRES APPEAR TO BE EXTREMELY WORN CONSIDERING I BOUGHT THIS 2012 NISSAN ROGUE IN JANUARY OF 2013(JUST BEFORE RETIRING ) AND MY MILEAGE IS JUST UNDER 18,000 AS I AVERAGE 6000MILES YEAR

DUNLOP 7000 SERIES V RATED HAD THESE ON A 2012 ROGUE VERY UNSAFE IN WET NO TRACTION AT ALL IN SNOW AND ICE EVEN WITH AWD VEHICLE WORST TIRE EVER OWNED UNSAFE DANGEROUS. DUNLOP REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE MANUFACTURING DEFECTS IN THESE TIRES IE.....NO TRACTION AT ALL, VERY DANGEROUS AS A N ALL SEASON TIRE IN ANY SNOW OR ICE CONDITION. NISSAN REFUSES TO STOP PUTTING THESE ON THEIR CARS. CONSUMERS ARE AT RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH WITH THESE ON THEIR CARS.

I WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, TRAVELING IN THE THIRD LANE AT 65 MPH, WHEN THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON. I MADE MY WAY TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE AND THE CLUNKING NOISE FROM A FLAT TIRE WAS OBVIOUS. THE TIRE HAD BLOWN OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SIDEWALL FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I HAD NOT HIT ANYTHING OR GONE INTO A POTHOLE. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW 6 MONTHS AGO, AND IT HAD THE ORIGINAL TIRES THAT WERE PUT ON IT IN THE FACTORY. THE CAR CAME WITH CONTINENTAL P215/70R16 TIRES. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER WHO CALLED CONTINENTAL AND NEITHER THE DEALERSHIP NOR THE TIRE MANUFACTURER ACCEPTS ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECTIVE TIRE. I HAVE DONE A GOOGLE SEARCH AND MY STORY OF HAVING A BLOW OUT WITH A CONTINENTAL TIRE ON A NEW CAR WITH VERY LOW MILEAGE IS NOT AN UNUSUAL ONE. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING NOW, AND WORRY THAT I WILL HAVE BLOW OUTS WITH THE OTHER THREE TIRES. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY CONTINENTAL IS GETTING AWAY WITH MANUFACTURING UNSAFE TIRES WHEN THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. IT SEEMS THIS IS A CONSUMER ISSUE AND A SAFETY ISSUE THAT WARRANTS INVESTIGATION. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW IN NOV 2011. THERE WAS NO SNOW THAT WINTER. THIS YEAR WAS A NORMAL WINTER. I COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW DANGEROUS IT WAS TO DRIVE IN THE SNOW WITH THIS VEHICLE. ON THE DATE OF THE INCIDENT I LOST CONTROL IN SNOW AND ICE AND NEARLY CRASHED. THE "ALL WHEEL DRIVE" DID NOTHING AT ALL TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I CONTACTED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND FILED A COMPLAINT (#10800081). THEY DO NOT RETURN CALLS AND DID NOT ATTEMPT TO HELP RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. I DISCOVERED THAT NISSAN INSTALLED A HIGH PERFORMANCE SPORT "V" RATED TIRE ON THIS LIGHT 4 CYLINDER CROSS OVER. WHEN I CONTACTED DUNLOP THEY DID NOT HESITATE TO ADVISE THAT I REPLACE THE TIRES WITH A GOODYEAR ASSURANCE COMFORTRED TOURING TIRE FOR MAXIMUM WET, DRY AND SNOW CONDITIONS. I FEEL THESE TIRES(DUNLOP HIGH PERFORMANCE SP SPORT 7000 A/S SIZE 225/55/18) ON THIS VEHICLE IN NEW ENGLAND STATES POSE AN EXTREME HAZARD AND DANGER TO OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE AND NISSAN SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR A RECALL.
