1. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request" My passenger-side rear tire blew out, while I was driving on I-85 in NC. I have a photo of the tire while it was on the rack at the AAA repair shop. The temperature was normal outside, and I did not see any debris in the road. 2. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? This occured at 3:50 p.m. on a weekday, and the safety of myself and the drivers around me was at risk, when the tire blew out and it was difficult to control my car on the intersstate. 3. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? The car was towed to a AAA service center, and I have photos of the tire that blew out, as well as the driver's-side rear tire that is also deformed. 4. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No, but I emailed Toyo with a report that I thought there might be an issue on Nov. 9, 2023. I was towed to a AAA service center. I have photos and the reciept from having to replace both rear tires, and get a re-alignment. 5. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear" No. This was a sudden blow-out on the interstate while traveling. However, the car did begin shaking, so I was trying to pull to the slow lane when the tire blew out.

The contact stated that while driving 50 mph, the vehicle started to make an abnormal thumping noise. The contact merged to the side of the road in order to inspect the vehicle. After inspecting the vehicle, the contact noticed that the rear passenger's side tire tread had separated and the piece that hung off was hitting the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The technician confirmed that the tread had separated due to lack of air in the tire. The tire was not replaced. Neither the VIN nor the dot numbers were available. The vehicle failure mileage was 71,950. The tire failure mileage was 5,000.

Fuzion touring 185/65R15 fuztour blew out on interstate 75 near wildwood Florida. Driver side front. Replaced under prorated warranty. Second tire from same set blew out in a very similar fashion on June 6, 2014 on interstate 75. Luckily, no accident or injury. Contacted Bridgestone and the tire choice where purchased (by previous owner). Since I am not the purchaser, they will not do anything. My primary concern is that tires with less than 11,000 miles blow out at highway speeds.

Soon after our purchase, 6/07, the light came on, its been back to many different dealers over a dozen times, ,.it cannot be disconnected, disengaged. Reprogramming is one option, replacing at $150/visit per wheel is the other option. We have had both on multiple occasions. Our problem is, that the sensor when it fails, tells the tire to reduce pressure. A perfectly good tire filled with 37 psi will in 24 hours come down to 20 psi... this is a disaster and I am surprised there has been no class action law suits... I have spent time and money, replaced tires to prove the point, and after almost 6 years am ready to give up... something so simple and stupid cannot be fixed or removed.. Nissan dealers blame it on pot holes, corrosion, or bad manufactured tires. American roads are filled with these perils and the system designed by Nissan is a failure because it cannot stand up... I own 9 other vehicles made after 2007 and not of the others have had any problems like this..

We were traveling on the interstate when we noticed the car started shaking then a loud pop was heard. Fortunately my daughter maintained control of the car and guided to the median safely. When we got out we saw that the tire had shredded away from the tube about half way around..
