What owners report
At 9K miles these Bridgestone tires are wearing on the exterior side walls. Dealership says it is because of alignment! We have had the alignment done 3 times over the past 10K miles! Tires are now showing white 'wire' and must be replaced! Once again, dealership says alignment issue when I took it in! And again, alignment is perfect! Tires have been rotated every 3-5K mikes at oil change.these tires should not be doing this with only 21K miles on them!
The tire line is a22. This option is not available on the drop-down selections. Excessive tire wear on toyo a22 tires. Purchased new Nissan Quest. At 17,000 miles tires are in need of replacing. After searching the internet for complaints/ratings on this tire I have found similar stories for this tire on the Nissan Quest.
I have 20,000 miles on my car and my tires need replacing! I purchased it new in April 2012. I have had it for a year and a half. I drive it carefully and have the tires rotated when needed. I had a flat on Monday on my way to work. That evening I had it looked at for repair. It cannot be repaired. The tire tread is very low. They are Bridgestone turanza. I bought a van because I'm driving children around frequently. Why couldn't Nissan put better tires on this vehicle? When you buy a new car, you assume that you won't have to repair anything for several years. Now I have to buy a new set of tires at christmas time! I am really unhappy! I checked this site to see if there is a recall on tires. I certainly hope so!
I bought a 2012 Nissan Quest almost 2 years ago. I have 20,000 miles on the vehicle and the tires are horrible! They are Bridgestone turanza el 400. They are feathering and balding. It is very difficult to drive in the rain or other weather conditions. These tires have been rotated every 5,000 miles...it is extremely frustrating that you buy a 30,000 vehicle and have tires that aren't worth anything on it!
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 Nissan Quest. After driving approximately two and a half miles at various speeds, the brake warning indicator illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact also complained of a burning odor coming from the vehicle and the rims were hot to the touch. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 60,000.
I put new Goodyear assurance fuel max on my 2008 Nissan Quest on 04/27/2012. Since that time I have had numerous blow outs and slow leaks. I have replaced all four tires with the same make and model and have had numerous repairs. I just replaced all four tires with Michelin brand as I could not get 10,000 miles with out a blowout on the goodyears. All tire failures were due to small splits in the tread or side wall.
My vehicle was t-boned on the left driver side. The front quarter panel and rear quarter panel was damaged. The left wheel and tire rod was replaced. The tires were replaced but every since this accident I have had severe issues with my front end steering and rattling noise. I cannot drive over bumps without my front end feeling like it shifts and I cannot turn curves over 20 MPH or else it begins to shake extremely bad. I have had multiple work done and it keeps doing the same thing. It is definitely not safe to continue driving with my kids in it but its all I have. I cannot exceed 30 MPH on a straight way without the vehicle shaking vigorously.
While driving home from work, my front passenger wheel snapped off of the control arm. Because I was doing 50 miles per hour it also ripped the axel out of the engine. I have been told it was due to a weak weld. Is this a manufactures defect?
