DID A THROTTLE BODY CLEANING ON A NISSAN MURANO AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS A MONEY MAKER AND MANY SHOP THAT CLEAN THE THROTTLE BODY HAVE TO COME TO THEM FOR THE RE-LEARNING OF THE IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE. THIS IS CRAZY ,I HAVE DONE THIS ON MY PORSCHE AND MY FORDS AND CHEVY AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN. NISSAN SHOULD HAVE A WARNING STICKER ON THE THROTTLE BODY TO SEE MANUAL -THE MANUAL SHOULD STATE DO NOT CLEAN OR YOU WILL NEED TO GO TO DEALER TO RE-LEARN THE IDLE AIR CONTROL SYSTEM. *TR

I PURCHASED 4 NEW GOODYEAR ASSURANCE COMFORT TREAD TIRES ON 10/01/2008. ON 12/02/2008 I HAD A BLOW-OUT TO THE SIDE WALL (OUTER) OF THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER TIRE. I WAS TRAVELING 30MPH. I HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE TIRES.(CLAUDE NOLAN CADILLAC). I WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRE COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. I HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW TIRE. I HAVE ASKED THE DEALER TO MAINTAIN THE OLD TIRE FOR POSSIBLE INSPECTION. *TR

I BOUGHT MY SUBURBAN WITH GOODYEAR TRACKER II TIRES ON IT FROM THE DEALER IN DEC 06. IN APRIL 07 A TIRE WAS FLAT. IT HAD A SMALL SLICE IN THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE BETWEEN THE GROOVES. NOTHING HAD TOUCHED OR SCRAPED AGAINST THE TIRE TO CAUSE IT. I BOUGHT ANOTHER ONE FROM WALMART AS THEY ARE ONLY ONES ABLE TO GET AND SELL THEM. I HAD TAKEN THE WHEELS OFF FOR THE SUMMER AND PUT THEM BACK ON IN SEPT 07. IN MARCH 08 ON THIS NEW TIRE, IT HAD A LEAK IN THE GROOVED SECTION OF THE SIDE WALL NEAR THE TREAD. AGAIN NOTHING PUNCTURED IT OR SCRAPED IT. BECAUSE I COULDN'T CHANGE THE TIRE AT THE TIME I HAD TO PUT A PLUG IN IT TO GET HOME. THESE ARE VERY POORLY MADE AND SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY OTHER TIRES GET SMALL SLICES IN THE SIDEWALL. I COULD UNDERSTAND IF I HIT A POTHOLE, CURB, NAIL, SOMETHING. BUT THE FIRST TIRE WAS 3" ABOVE THE GROUND AND THIS ONE WAS ABOUT 1" ABOVE THE GROUND. I HAVE ABOUT 5,000 MILES ON THIS TIRE WITH ALOT OF TREAD LEFT THAT IS NOW GARBAGE. *TR
