I am just hoping for inputs, thoughts, and see if anyone else out there experienced this before...
this is a 04 SE (got the 6 spoke wheel). I was driving on the freeway at about 65MPH and suddenly heard a thump then car lowered in the front and sparks were flying along my driver window.
it was 4am and no other vehicle in sight, no debris on the road, and in the 2nd lane from left (so no walls either).
pulled to the left (closest) and saw my left front as the picture below. yes, all 5 lug nuts were still on the car as the picture. There was no feel of tire blowing then riding rim until it broke, everything happened instantenously.
Now dealer is requiring nissan to send 'engineers' to inspect the vehicle to check for 'product liability'. basically, they are not sure whether if this is covered by warranty.
Car is 04, but got the car new only 3 months ago. first the alternator pulley came out on freeway in Nov, now this...
Any thoughts or inputs?
