Tl the contact owns a 2015 Nissan Frontier. The contact stated that there was an intermittent failure with the rear tires rubber burning out when attempting to make a stop, at a light, up and down a hill which had caused the contact to shift gears into neutral. The caller had to put the gear in neutral and then park but was uncertain as to what was causing the rear to be unstable when releasing the accelerator pedal. No dealer had been able to replicate and diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired so the contact was uncertain if the failure may result in a catastrophic crash. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was waiting to determine the technical guidelines to repair the vehicle. The approximate failure mileage was 26,000.
