| I had to replace bridgestone turanza el 400 tires with only 22k miles on them. we kept the tires rotated and balanced, but still had problems with air loss. we have a 2008 nissan sentra that was purchased new in 12/2007. we started having problems with those tires within a few months. the tires probably had about 3000 miles on them at the time it started. at first we thought it was just a faulty sensor, but found out otherwise. the car rode very rough and the tires were always loud. the dealer blamed it on a nail, did a cheap patch job and then later denied they patched it and refused to replace the tire. the sensors are worthless too. the low tire light would come on and the car would start bouncing around and we realized it was time again. finally after 1 1/2 years of problems and taking it to the dealer we finally had enough and replaced the tires at a tire store. anyone with these tires should do a google search of bridgestone turanza problems and bridgestone turanza el400 complaints. i have seen complaints from toyota, bmw, mercedes, honda and nissan owners about these tires. there is a problem. there are numerous complaints on the internet about these tires. our problem started within 3 months of buying the car. *tr | |||

| With 12000 km on my 08 sentra was informed my rear tires needed to be replaced. after much fighting with my service manager, dealership manager, and dealership owner they agreed to inspect the components of the rear suspension and was informed that it was out of alignment, and they could not bring it to within spec. the fix was a total rear suspension replacement...i now have a front strut bearing gone and have been waiting 2 months for parts...with my front end alignment out because of this, and no word on part arrival. *tr | |||

| I bought my 2008 nissan sentra brand new in sept 08. in nov 08 the low tire pressure indicator came on and would not go off. i had the car serviced to reset the indicator. i was told that this occurs all the time and there is no way to fix it. my indicator has lit up again and i filed complaints with the dealership and with nissan customer care. my tires all had 33 lbs of air in them at the time. i was told the indicator may have been activated because of the cold weather. they further told me that the only way to stop this indicator from staying on constantly is to remove the air from my tires and refill them with nitrogen which will cost me a fee of $50. i have not even owned my car for 6 months. i should have been advised about this issue before it was bought and it should be fixed at no cost to me. my vehicle is under full warranty. *tr | |||
