Re: rear tire - 2008 nissan sentra the rear tires on the vehicle have been going flat or blown out more than 6 times over the last 67,000 miles. The front tires on the vehicle have never had this problem. A few times the tires have slowly deflated and i was able to inflate them a few times before having to replace them. However, there have been other times where the tire has blown out very badly on the highway. All…

I purchased a new 2008 nissan sentra. The first winter driving the car i noticed it drove poorly on wet or snow covered roads - it felt like it was sliding or wandering. I was going to purchase snow tires but did not. After about one year i noticed the rear tires were greatly worn. I paid to have an alignment done and also purchased new tires. I was told by the tire store that the rear could not be aligned due to a…

My 2008 nissan sentra has been wearing out tires rather quickly. I had the alignment checked by a local shop and they informed me that the rear tires were out more than twice the limit. They also informed me that there is no adjustment. I then took the vehicle to a nissan dealer for an alignment. They aligned it and gave me the spec sheet. I noticed that the rear tires were out once again by more than twice the…

The day of delivery of my 2008 nissan sentra, i noticed the rear wheels tilt in at the top, especially the left rear wheel, at least 5 degrees negative camber (i am an insurance auto appraiser ). It also appears to have slight tow in. This is a fixed non-adjustable beam axel, that was set up wrong in the assembly jig and welded up wrong. After some research, this affects 07 and 08 models. The tires will wear out…

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…

Rear tires worn completely at 15k miles. Dealer replaced out of pocket. Condition continued, other original 2 tires worn out at 23k miles. Dealer finally got a shim kit ordered from nissan, they don't specify this as a problem. Dealer was "unaware" of rear axles being out of alignment and i had to pay $72 to get an alignment to prove it. No adjustments were possible to the rear end to bring it back in-line. The…
