Purchased vehicle less than a month ago and I hate it! I've had nothing but scary encounters with this vehicle. The steering wheel was not aligned and the car would drift to other lanes. God forbid the rain or snow makes a visit, the car slides uncontrollably. The steering wheel seems stiff as well. I had a wheel alignment done and the notice it's a little better but the issue is still there leading me to believe there are other issues. Clunking noise from rear while driving. Took car to the dealership 3 times until they finally decided to look further. They replaced left rear shock; however, the noise is still there. It seems as the tires and steering wheel are off. Also, when turning right I can hear a clunking noise. I put car in 'park' turned steering wheel left and there was no noise. Turned to right and the noise present.

I have a brand new 2016 Nissan Altima ! my son and I were on the highway headed to his school talent show! all of a sudden my car starts to shake and I hear a loud noise! I had a blow out in my freaking new car! this happened out of nowhere and certainly wasn't expected after only having this car for say ummm all of 2 months!!! I was so frustrated, called my car company and they did not want be responsible for the damage it caused underneath my car. I had to file it on my insurance and pay $500 out of pocket for a decuctibke!!! I'm beyond upset! I saw one compliant on this specific tire! hankook optimo H426 P215/60R16 94T tires need to be recalled asap!!!
