| Tl* the contact owns a 2005 nissan maxima. while driving between 60-65 mph the vehicles road performance was very poor due the extremely low tire pressure. the vehicle was taken to a service station to inflate the low pressured tires. identical failures occurred on several separate occasions. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. the failures was caused by defective chrome within the inner wheels. the defect caused low tire pressure, in which all four tires had deep cracks. the four tires were replaced on three separate occasions. the failure mileage was unknown. the current mileage was 60,00. the vin number was unavailable. | |||

| Tires on my 2005 nissan maxima keep loosing air. the rims are chrome (factory) rims. i have lost 2 tires because of this problem. i have had 4 occurrences of the leaking tires. the chrome plating is separating from the rim and the tire bead starts to leak air. 2 of the 4 occurrences were on the highway. the repair shops i have taken the tires/rims to all tell me this is a common problem they have seen. i am currently working the problem with nissan to try to get them to replace the defective rims. i have to date spent approx. $750 for tires repairs. is there a record of failures of this kind on file? if the problem is not corrected by nissan what do you suggest i do next? i find it very scary trying to change a tire on the interstate highways and fear being hit. i check all 4 tires weekly now but two of the leaks occurred on the high speed highways even though i check the air pressure. *tr | |||
