These are NHTSA recalled tires for my 2019 Nissan Titan. I had them inspected (via the recall) at Cedar Park Nissan and even though they showed major sidewall issues (peeling, tread chunk missing, etc.), I was told they were a non-issue. I brought them in a 2nd time because the peeling and marring of tire look like major issues - they dismissed it. These are one of the tire models you state in your "Part 573 Safety Recall Report 21V-169". Specifically "Continental Tire 265/70 R18 116S TL Grabber HTS ". My wife and I were driving home with our 8 and 10 year old sons in the truck when the tire completely blew out and we were able to avoid a collision and wreck by the grace of God. I have photos and I have contacted Cedar Park Nissan (the customer service rep would not connect me with anyone in management or authority and said it was my responsibility to find them sometime). I am fine with new tires - or pursuing a lawsuit and getting as much as court will allow. Nissan's choice. Your help would be appreciated, since this is a defective tire and is in the description of a tire the NHTSA deemed as defective. No warnings given - other than the recall the NHTSA issues that Cedar park Nissan deemed unnecessary. The previous symptoms have already been noted, as Cedar Park Nissan was made aware of them 2 times and sent us away without help. The other 3 tires look poor, as I previously showed them twice now.

NHTSA complaint #11448351 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
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.

My 2021 Titan, which I bought new in June of 2021 had a sidewall crack while driving. I did read, when I googled Continental/General tires that there has been a recall on Titan and Altima tires due to sidewall blowouts and cracks. The dealership said they never received anything about tires, however, My Titan had a 2 inch crack develop while driving, and I only have 3K miles on the truck. I do not feel real safe with the other 3 on it. This should be looked into.

MY TPM WARNING LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THIS HAS HAPPENED FROM DAY ONE. THE ELEVATION AND OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE HAVE NO BEARING ON WHETHER OR NOT THE LIGHT FUNCTIONS PROPERLY. I HAVE NITROGEN FILLED TIRES. THE DEALER SHIP SAYS THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE SYSTEM AND DON'T BRING THE TRUCK BACK. THIS IS A NEW 2013 TITAN. THE DEALER SHIP SAID IT WAS A NISSAN PROBLEM. I AM CONSTANTLY PULLING OVER TO CHECK MY TIRE AIR PRESSURE. THIS MAKES LONG TRIPS DIFFICULT AND SCARES MY WIFE WHEN EVER SHE DRIVES IT. NISSAN SAYS TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER.

I BOUGHT A NISSAN TITAN 2008 6 WEEKS AGO THAT HAD 5 BRAND NEW GOOD YEAR TITAN TIRES PUT ON AT PURCHASE; 4 ON THE TRUCK ONE ON THE SPARE. WITHIN 3 DAYS OF EACH OTHER 2 WENT FLAT. THE FIRST WAS RULED AS A FACTORY DEFECT BY THE TIRE REPAIR SHOP. THE SECOND THE SHOP WAS NOT SURE, IT HAD A HOLE IN THE TREAD AREA BUT HAD NO NAIL OR ANY OTHER CAUSE OF PUNCTURE. ANYWAY HE RECOMMENDED THAT I TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERS SHIP TO GET THE TIRES ADJUSTED AND REPLACED. THEY REFUSED TO DO SO AND NOT KNOWING THAT I USE TO WORK ON TIRES MYSELF PROCEEDED TO BLAME ME FOR THE FLATS. I INFORMED THE MAN HE WAS WRONG AND HE SAID I COULD TAKE IT TO A GOOD YEAR SERVICE CENTER FOR A SECOND OPINION; WHICH I DID. GOOD YEAR SAID THE SAME THING AS THE ORIGINAL TIRE GUY, "FACTORY DEFECT" HE ALSO STATED I HAD "P" RATED TIRES ON MY TITAN AND IN HIS OPINION I SHOULD HAVE "LT" RATED TIRES ON MY TRUCK. THESE FLATS OCCURRED WITH MY TRUCK SETTING IN THE DRIVEWAY THANK GOD. THE DEALERSHIP WAS COUNTRY FORD OF SOUTHAVEN MS. THE MAN WHO LIED TO ME AND ACCUSED ME OF BEING AT FAULT WAS NAMED [XXX]. THE GOOD YEAR MAN SAID WHEN HE SPOKE TO THEM HE WAS TOLD BY ANOTHER GUY THAT THEY WOULDN'T RESOLVED THE TIRE ISSUE BECAUSE THEY HAD 4 MONTHS OF ADJUSTMENTS THEY HAD NOT BEEN PAID FOR YET. THAT IS NOT MY PROBLEM; NOW SINCE THEY ARE THE ONES WHO PUT THE P RATED CAR TIRES ON MY TRUCK; AND NOT LT RATED TRUCK TIRES THEY HAVE PUT ME AND ANYONE ELSE RIDING WITH ME AS WELL AS ANYONE DRIVING NEAR ME IN DANGER. I HAD TWO FLATS IN 3 DAYS ON TIRES THAT HAVE LESS THAN 2000 MILES ON THEM. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

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.

(1) I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SEATBELTS IN THE BACK SEAT OF MY 2011 NISSAN TITAN. THEY TIGHTEN UP ON THE OCCUPANTS AND I HAVE TO STOP MY TRUCK IN ORDER TO RELEASE THEM, BUT THEN THEY TIGHTEN UP AGAIN. A SWITCH FOR ADULTS OR CHILDREN MAY FIX THE PROBLEM. (2) AS WELL, THE FRONT FLOOR MATS THAT WERE INSTALLED AT THE DEALER MALFUNCTIONED. THE DRIVER'S FLOOR MAT HAD ONE HOLE FOR RESTRAINT AND IT SHOULD HAVE HAD TWO HOLES. THE FLOOR MAT CAUGHT UP IN THE ACCELERATOR AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 50 KPH AND THE ENGINE REVVED WIDE OPEN. I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY PUT THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL AND SHUT IT OFF. THAT LEFT ME WITH NO POWER STEERING AND I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO GET THE TRUCK TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP HAS SINCE REPLACED THE FRONT FLOOR MATS AND THE PROBEM IS SOLVED. OWNERS OF THE NISSAN TITANS SHOULD MAKE SURE THAT THE PROPER FLOOR MATS ARE INSTALLED IN THEIR TRUCKS PRIOR TO DRIVING THEM. (3) THESE TRUCKS SHOULD NOT BE DELIVERED WITH A P TIRE ON THEM. AT THE VERY LEAST THEY SHOULD HAVE AN LT TIRE. I HAVE HAD THREE FLAT TIRES ON MY TRUCK IN 5 MONTHS AND IT IS NOT USED ON CONSTRUCTION SITES AT ALL.
