2009 NISSAN MURANO Tires Problems

I PURCHASED MY MURANO 5 YEARS AGO AND I'VE HAD A FEW ISSUES BUT BEEN VERY HAPPY WITH PURCHASE OTHER THAN 2 THINGS! 1 THE WHEEL VALVES HAVE BEEN A COMMON ISSUE IN ON MY THIRD SET OF TIRES BUT I'M CONSTANTLY HAVING TO AIR THEM DUE TO THE VALVE IN SIDE THE TIRE! MINE ISN'T LISTED UNDER RECALL IT THERE IS A RECALL ON OTHER NISSAN WITH SAME ISSUE. THE SECOND MY STEREO LOCKED UP CDS AND THE WARRANTY DIDN'T COVER THIS WAS A WEEK AFTER PURCHASE THAT WAS. WET DISAPPOINTING AFTER PAYING OVER 30,000 FOR IT! *TR

MY CAR INCURRED A FLAT TIRE. CAR TOWED TO DEALER WHO SAID THE FLAT WAS CAUSED BY A SCREW WHICH IS WORN AWAY AND CAUSED THE TIRE SENSOR TO DISPLAY AND THE FLAT OCCURRED. SERVING DEALER SAID I NEED TO REPLACE ALL SENSORS AND SCREWS. I CHECKED ONLINE AND FOUND A RECALL FOR THIS VERY ISSUE. I FOUND THROUGH THE DEALER THAT THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED ON ONLY ONE SENSOR/TIRE...NOT ALL OF THEM. NOW I HAVE A BILL FOR OVER $550 TO REPLACE ALL THE SENSORS AND SCREWS EVEN THOUGH THE RECALL WAS NEVER FULLY PERFORMED. CONTACTED NISSAN HEADQUARTERS AND THEY SAID THE RECALL WAS CLOSED OUT. I EXPLAINED THE RECALL WAS NEVER FULLY COMPLETED. THEY STILL DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS IS SAFETY ISSUE.

COOPER CS4 TOURING TIRES LEAKING AIR IN COLD WEATHER. I HAVE A NISSAN MURANO, THIS WINTER WITH THE VERY COLD TEMPERATURES THESE TIRES HAD TO HAVE AIR ADDED EVERY WEEK. I'M TALKING ABOUT 5 TO 6 POUNDS OF PRESSURE. HAD THEM BEAD SEALED BUT THEY CONTINUED TO LEAK. POSTED COMPLAINTS ON MURANO WEB SITES AND WAS TOLD BY OTHER DRIVERS WITH COOPER TIRES," THE PROBLEM WAS THE COOPER TIRES." HAD THE OEM GOODYEARS TILL 55K AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. I AM POSTING THIS NOW SO OTHER PEOPLE WITH THESE TIRES WILL CHECK THEM MORE OFTEN. *JS

THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. THE NUT HOLDING THE TPMS SENSOR/TIRE FILL VALVE FAILED CATASTROPHICALLY WITH 2 LONGITUDINAL CRACKS WHILE TRAVELING 70 MPH ON INTERSTATE 5 NEAR VALENCIA, CALIFORNIA. TIRE PRESSURE RELEASED SUDDENLY (NO PREVIOUS WARNING BY THE TPMS SYSTEM). THE CAR PULLED STRONGLY TO THE LEFT (FAILURE WAS IN THE FRONT LEFT TIRE). REGAINED CONTROL OF THE CAR AND PULLED OFF TO SHOULDER. NUT SHOWS EVIDENCE OF CORROSION AND DIRT IN ONE OF THE TWO CRACKS. TIRE WAS UNDAMAGED BY ANY ROAD HAZARD, ONLY THE TPMS SENSOR/FILL VALVE WAS LOOSE IN THE WHEEL, AND THE NUT CAME APART WHEN HAND INSPECTING THE VALVE. A NISSAN SERVICE BULLETIN EXISTS FOR CORRODED NUTS IN EASTERN STATES WHERE SALT IS USED ON ROADS, HOWEVER THIS VEHICLE HAS STRICTLY BEEN IN CALIFORNIA, WITH LESS THAN 10 TRIPS TO SKI AREAS IN CALIFORNIA, WHICH DOES NOT USE SALT ON ITS ROADS.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 NISSAN MURANO. IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT IT VIBRATED WHILE DRIVING 40-50 MPH. THE DEALER CHANGED THE TIRES THREE TIMES, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 250. UPDATED 03/18/08. *LJ THE CONSUMER STATED ALL 4 TIRES HAD THE TIRE PRESSURE OF 41PSI IN EACH OF TIRES AND WERE REDUCED TO 36PSI AND NO LONGER VIBRATES. UPDATED 03/18/08 *TR
