Wheel problem #1

Car had scheduled routine maintenance done on February 15, 2025 where tires were rotated and balanced. About a month later, the rear differential failed. Car only has 87,000 miles on it and was not driven in any excessive manner. Wheel bearings made noise for two days and then the differential failed before car was able to be seen by the repair shop. This is an example of a critical flaw in the differential and is extremely dangerous because it could have seized up while I was driving my daughter to preschool. Vehicle has inspection report from two different repair shops (one being the dealer) confirming failure of rear differential. No warning lamps, messages, or othe symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, only two days of noisy wheel bearings indicating they needed replacement. Nissan issued service bulletin ntb10-0291 regarding this problem but no recall has been ordered. When can I expect a recall?.

Wheel problem #2

I was driving on the 60fwy east, close to 57 south but my lights ( engine and tire were on ),when suddenly I lost the control and I hit on the wall. The steering wheel was a little hard and the mechanic told me my catalyst wasn't good( engine and tire sensor aren't working correctly ). I thought it was my last day because that freeway is a little hight. I imaged my car flying. Also I have 1 accident . I crashed one car but it wasnt my blame. The car lost the control. Now I have to pay but it is expensive for me.

Wheel problem #3

Right rear wheel bearing was bad. I was told at 66,000 miles, this was premature. This started approximately 3 weeks ago and was corrected today. I had to take it to two places before a diagnosis was made for loud driving noise and slight vibration. The wheel bearing could have locked up and caused a severe incident.

Wheel problem #4

For over a year, I've had trouble with one of the tires losing air every few days. I'm thinking that perhaps it is the valve stem, but I'm not a mechanic. The other day, though, I was accelerating on a mountain road moving about 45/50 mph and the car stopped accelerating. It was as if it was in neutral and could no longer move. I had to have it towed back to my house, about 5 miles away. It still will not move when I put it in gear. I tried several times while waiting for the tow truck and a few times it would go into gear, but moved very slowly. When it moved about 5 ft, it would again act as if it were in neutral. The last time I tried, the mil light up and has not gone off. I just went and tried it again and took a video so you could hear that it is now whining louder than normal and when I put it in drive, it actually jerked and started rolling backward. It looks like I can't upload the video, though. I added pictures of what is lit up in the panel.

Wheel problem #5

I recently got into to a car accident on , 9/15/2019. I hit a parked car in order to avoid an accident. I was not going no more than 10-15 miles per hour on a city street as I steered the car towards the right side to avoid an accident on the left side and my axle cracked. The police officer on the scene suggested I reach out to the manufacturer as he stated that the axle was not suppose to crack with such a minor incident. Per his suggestion I am writing to you.

Wheel problem #6

I am leasing a 2017 Nissan Rogue with 13,000 miles on my brand-new car. Back on March 8, 2019 my first tire blew so I replaced it. On July 9, 2019 my second tire blew out while driving on the highway. When I brought my tire in to be looked at I was told it was a tire malfunction so falken tire ended up reimbursing me for the new tire I had bought. On September 10, 2019 I brought my car into my Nissan dealership because my tire pressure light was on. I was told that my two factory tires on my car were leaking around the seams. Seeing that this is a dangerous situation, I contacted falken tire to let them know the situation. My first call to them concluded that they would cover all charges related to the tire; the new tire and labor cost. When I took my car in to get those two tires changed, the guy helping me called falken tire to make sure they would be picking up the bill and they claimed they had nothing on file regarding my situation. After multiple calls to falken tire I was told that they cannot change out my tires because there is no proof in front of them that these tires are faulty. After 2 blown tires and 2 tires leaking, they said there is nothing they can do to help me until an actual problem occurs. Who is going to take responsibility if an accident occurs and people are badly injured? falken tire will not take responsibility for their faulty tires until someone dies from the situation.
