As my wife and I traveled in the state of Florida on 5-28-2007, my rear tire came apart causing my vehicle to spin 360 degrees and causing damage to my vehicle due to the incident. Thank god, the traffic surrounding my car was not affected by my spinning. The damage to the car was temporarily secured by the highway road Ranger and I was required to drive at very low speed on the highway to reach my destination.
The original tires shreaded on the inside, & the front end had to be realligned. I noted that their have been 3 other complaints of same type reported to you. This seems to be a problem that other are having. Unlike other cars I have owned this car gave no indication that the allignment was failing, untill the tire was completely shreaded on the inside and was going flat. Is Nissan doing anything to correct this problem?
