Good evening, my name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* ill be helping you, so sorry to hear about the issues here on the Sentra, i know how frustrating it can be to deal with issues especially on a vehicle that is so new. Now if you impacted the curb hard enough to pop your tire you most likely damaged other components under there as well im afraid. I would recommend that you get the front suspension inspected as well as making sure that the brake rotor is not making contact or shows any kind of damage. The easiest way to get this done would be to have the alignment of the front end to rule out any suspension issues and then have the brakes disassembled to check for any damage to the caliper or rotor. Let me know what we find out, thank you.

Thanks for your reply. What if I didn’t hit the curb. I just scraped the tire on it when turning right. And wouldn’t they have noticed any issues when changing the tire ?

not always since these issues can be hard to narrow down unless youre looking for issues and if you hit it hard enough a tire you also hit it hard enough to damage other stuff. never is it only the tire.
