| My 2009 nissian altima drove great unless it was raining. when there was just a slight drizzle my altima would hydroplain uncontrollably. i was driving on interstate 40 in tennessee and it started to rain. my altima started hydroplaining really bad. i was driving at most 40 miles an hour in a 70 mph zone. it sounded like something was really wrong with the rear part of the car. the water from the road completely lifted the rear end of the car off the ground. i believe it was the tires that caused the problem. they were continental conti pro contact tires size 215/60/r16. it was so bad i pulled over at a rest area for the night. the next morning i start my trip again. the car was fine until it started misting rain again. i was going about 40 mph when the car hydroplained and spun out of control. i ended up in the ditch with a totalled car. while i was getting out of the car a woman with the exact car except for the color did the exact same thing, but her car came a stop in the middle of the interstate. i have checkes several nissian lots and not many of there cars come out with these particular tires. i made a complaint to the nissian company, which inspected the car and said that nothing was wrong the car. i am worried that people are at risk of being hurt driving these cars. i have never seen a car drive like this before. | |||

| The tire pressure sensors (tire valves) have failed 4 times in 33,000 miles on my 2009 nissan altima. the material used to construct the vale corrodes and then fractures easily during snow tire removal process. this causes the valve to leak resulting in flat tires. so far replaced under warrenty but will cost upwards of $110 each after warranty expires not to mention aaa calls & inconvenience. | |||

| Loosing air pressure on tires. made light on dash to come on. found out, using soap with water that it was leaking around the valve stems of two tires due to factory improper installation and torque procedures of the vehicle tire pressure monitors or bad o-ring. *tr | |||
