WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY HOME FROM WORK AND IN A SPLIT SECOND THE BACK END OF THE TRUCK STARTED BOUNCING AND BECAME HARD TO STEER. I SLOWED DOWN AND WAS GETTING READY TO PULL OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER WHEN A BIG CHUNK OF MY TIRE SEPARATED AND CAME FLYING OFF OVER MY TRUCK HITTING THE CAR BESIDE ME. I SLOWED DOWN EVEN MORE AND PULLED OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY, ( ALL OF THIS HAPPENED IN LESS THAN 1 MILE) WHEN I GOT OUT I WAS SO UPSET WHEN I DISCOVERED THE DAMAGE THE SEPARATION OF THE DEFECTIVE TIRE HAD CAUSED TO MY TRUCK AND THE CAR OF A VERY IRATE DRIVER THESE TIRES DID NOT HAVE MORE THAN 20,000 MILES ON THEM. THE TIRE TOTALLY WRECKED MY UNDERCARRIAGE, INCLUDING THE RODS, SUPPORTS AND LINER FOR THE WHEEL WELL, PLUS THE WHEEL WELL, REAR QUARTER PANEL AND BUMPER. THERE ARE ALSO DAMAGES TO THE FRONT QUARTER PANEL OF THE OTHER VEHICLE. I HAVE A $1000.00 DEDUCTIBLE AND NOW AM UNABLE TO AFFORD REPAIRS OR TIRES, I NEED TO BE ABLE TO WORK AND NEED COOPER TIRES TO PAY FOR THE DAMAGES AND DEFECTIVE TIRES PLEASE. *JS

TIRE SIDEWALL SEPARATION. ON 4/25/2009, I PURCHASED 4 NEW TOYO OPEN COUNTRY H/T, P265/70R18 TRUCK TIRES FOR MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN PICKUP TRUCK. ON SUNDAY, 5/3/2010, I NOTICED THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE HAD A SMALL CHUNK OF THE BLACK OUTSIDE SIDEWALL MISSING. UPON INSPECTION, I COULD NOT FIND WHERE ANY TYPE OF DEBRIS HAD HIT THE TIRE, NOR COULD I FIND WHERE ANY OF THE OTHER TIRES HAD BEEN DAMAGED. THE FOLLOWING DAY, I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THEM INSPECT THE DAMAGE. AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE, THE TOTAL VEHICLE MILEAGE WAS 30,586. AS OF THIS DATE, THE MILEAGE IS 40,845. A TOTAL OF 10,259 MILES HAVE BEEN DRIVEN SINCE THE TIRES WERE PURCHASED. AS THE TIRES CAME WITH A 60K MILE DAMAGE WARRANTY, I WAS EXPECTING TO HAVE THE TIRE REPLACED AND TO PAY ANY MILEAGE ADJUSTMENT FEE. THE DEALER INSTEAD INFORMED ME THAT, BECAUSE OF THE TYPE OF DAMAGE, THEY WOULD HAVE TO CONTACT TOYO AND OBTAIN THEIR APPROVAL TO REPLACE THE TIRE. I WAS TOLD UNTIL TOYO CONTACTED THEM, THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO, BUT THAT IT WAS SAFE TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER REGULARLY, AND HAVE TOLD THAT TOYO HAS YET TO RESPOND. AFTER CHECKING THE NTSB.GOV WEBSITE, THE ONLY RECALL FOR A TIRE CLOSE TO THE ONE I HAVE MENTIONED IS A TOYO OPEN COUNTRY A/T MODEL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS AMERICAN PACIFIC INDUSTRY TIRES, SIZE P265/70/R18 ON A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL TIRES EXCEPT THE DRIVER SIDE REAR TIRE ARE OUT OF ROUND. AS A CONSEQUENCE THE VEHICLE WHEN DRIVEN IS UNSTABLE. INSTABILITY WHEN DRIVING INCREASES THE RISK FOR VEHICLE CRASH. HE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, BUT WAS NOT PROVIDED WITH ASSISTANCE. AS OF CURRENT DATE THE FAILURE HAS NOT BEEN REMEDIED. HE STILL HAS POSSESSION OF THE TIRES. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 500.

06 NISSAN TITAN PICKUP COMES EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR WRANGLER SRA265 70 R/18 TIRES. THIS IS A ROAD TIRE WITH VIRTUALLY NO TRACTION MATCH FOR A LIGHT REAR PICKUP TRUCK. TRUCK EXPERIENCES REAR TIRE SPIN AND HYDROPLANING ON WET ROADS. ALMOST LOST CONTROL TWICE. NISSAN NOR GOODYEAR WILL DO ANYTHING ABOUT RESOLVING THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED. THIS TIRE IS A TOTAL MIS MATCH FOR THIS VEHICLE. *NM

06 TITAN LE CREW CAB - STEREO JUST STOPS - NO AUDIO, NO POWER, NOTHING. THIS HAS OCCURRED TWICE IN LESS THAN 3 MONTHS WITH COMPLETE HEAD UNIT REPLACEMENT BY THE DEALERSHIP. DEALER STATES THEY CAN NOT REMOVE THE CDS FROM THE CHANGER AND MUST WAIT FOR FACTORY TO DO SO - I HAVE NOT HAD ANY CDS RETURNED TO DATE. PENDING OTHER OPTIONS - PERSUE SMALL CLAIMS SUIT FOR REIMBURSEMENT OF CDS, ONE MORE INCIDENT OF SAME ITEM WILL MEET IL LEMON LAWS UNDER FOR IMPACT TO MATERIAL VALUE OF THE VEHICLE... I LIKE THE TRUCK AND IT FUNCTIONS WELL EXCEPT FOR THIS MORE SIMPLISTIC ITEM AND THE DIFFICULTY IN GETTING REPAIR FROM A DEALER THAT I DID NOT PURCHASE THE VEHICLE AND THE NUMBER OF FAILURES OF THE SAME ITEM. NISSAN USA HAS NOT BEEN MATERIALLY HELPFUL, ONLY TO DOCUMENT BUT NO ACTION. 2ND TIRES 285/70/R17 - REPORTED TO MICHELIN (FOR BF GOODRICH RUGGED TRAIL - OEM) TIRES - HAVE LESS THAN 6/32S TREAD REMAINING WITH ONLY 6K MILES ON TIRES - MICHELIN WILL NOT REPLACE OR COMPENSATE UNTIL 2/32S, THOUGH THEY ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM GIVEN ORIGINAL TREAD WAS 13/32S SO MORE THAN HALF TREAD LIFE IS GONE IN 6K MILES. *JB

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN TITAN KING CAB. IT HAS GOODYEAR WRANGLER TIRES SRA 265 70 R18 ON IT. IN THE FIRST TWO TIMES I HAVE HAD IT IN LIGHT RAIN ON GOOD HIGHWAYS IT HYDROPLANES HORRIBLY AT MEDIUM SPEEDS{45 TO 55 MPH}. I HAVE NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF THIS VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES IN LIGHT RAIN. THE TIRES ON THIS VEHICLE DO NOTHING TO CHANNEL AWAY WATER IN MY OPINION. I WENT INTO A SLIGHT CURVE IN THE RAIN AND THE VEHICLE JUST WANTED TO GO STRAIGHT. THE MATCH OF THIS TIRE WITH THIS TRUCK IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE. THE TIRE OPTION LISTED LATER IN THIS COMPLAINT DO NOT GIVE GOODYEAR WRANGLER AS AN OPTION. SO I HAD TO PUT IN SOMETHING TO PROCEED ,PLEASE NOTE THIS. *NM
