What owners report
The contact owns a 2019 Nissan Titan equipped with General Tires, Tire Line: Grabber, Tire Size: 265/70/R18, DOT Number: A3845MAL5018. The contact stated that the driver's side front tire pressure was continuously low and had to be re-inflated every 2 days. The tire was taken to the dealer who discovered that the exterior center tread of the tire had multiple tiny air holes present. While examining the interior of the tire it was also discovered that the inside tread was separated. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 15,000.
The contact owns a 2019 Nissan Titan equipped with Goodyear Tires, Tire Line: Wrangler SR-A, Tire Size: P275/60/R20, DOT Number: M6YN EXER4518. The contact stated while driving 80 MPH, the rear driver's side tire experienced a blowout. The contact was able to control the vehicle and veered to the side of the road. The contact replaced the defective tire with the spare tire and continued to drive the vehicle. The tire was original equipment. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The tire was not inspected. The tire and vehicle failure mileage were approximately 24,060.
At highway speed of 65 MPH, passenger-rear tire started to make slight thumping sound. After a few minutes, it became much louder. I pulled off the road to investigate and found that treads were completely delaminating from tire. Tire was inflated to 74 psi and they have always been properly maintained. Only 24,000 miles on tire (vehicle purchased new in Feb, 2019). No injuries but had I not pulled over right away, there is no doubt that a blowout would have occurred with potentially devastating consequences. The vehicle is a 2018 Nissan Titan XD, Platinum Reserve, purchased at Baxter, Nissan of Bellevue, Nebraska.
Tires are losing air on the sidewall that's cracking or breaking down. No puncture or damage is visible. But within a hour tire becomes flare. This happened when vehicle was parked and got inside and my tmps light was on and pressure was low.
The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Titan. The contact stated that while driving at 65 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power. There was an abnormally loud sound coming from the engine. Additionally, the TPMS warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with engine failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 80,100.
My Titan came with 20" chrome wheels but when I purchased the truck I added a Nissan approved lift kit and tires/wheels. The dealer did not return any of the original equipment yesterday I had what I thought was a blow out the tire separated from the side wall luckily I could get off the interstate well since I added the lift and tires and did not get the original equipment back the lugs do not fit the spare tire so my truck had to be limped in the dealer is aware of the issue but do not give back the original lugs and are not concerned that this spare tire could easily come off going down the highway. I was going down interstate 20/59 when this happened
Tl contact owns a 2010 Nissan Titan. She stated that the truck towed 9600 lbs, but the 265 /70r18 continental contitrac tires that were on the vehicle could not handle the weight. The contact had the tires inspected and was told that the manufacturer placed tires on the vehicle that did not have the capacity to carry the weight which was why the tread was worn and the tires blew out. The dot number was not available. The VIN was not available. The failure and current mileages were 4000.
All four tires have tread separation from the wall documented by three separate mechanics at less than 30K miles; slow leak on one tire, no debris/damage to tire caused leak, mechanics stated it is caused by the separation of the tread to the wall. Normal city/highway driving, no off road.
