2015 Nissan NV200 Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN NV200 EQUIPPED WITH JK TYRE TIRE (N/A) AND TIRE SIZE: 185/60/R15C. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE TIRE AND DROVE THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE TIRE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE OF THE TIRE AND THE VEHICLE WERE 17,560. THE DOT NUMBER WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

AT 23000 MILES BOTH BACK TIRES WERE FOUND TO BE BAD, BOTH TIRES HAVE A SINGLE FLAT SPOT WITH ONE WORN THRU TO THE CORD. BOTH FLAT SPOTS WERE ON THE INSIDE SIDE OF THE TIRE MAKING IT HARD TO NOTICE WITHOUT JACKING UP THE VEHICLE. EITHER THE VEHICLE OR THE TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE. THE DEALER SAID IT APPEARED THE BRAKES HAD LOCKED UP. THAT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE AS THE WEAR WOULD OF BEEN ACROSS THE TIRE NOT JUST THE INSIDE EDGE.
