TIRES

I FILED A COMPLAINT 10/18/2018; HOWEVER, THE COMPLAINT WAS FOR 2 OF THE 4 TIRES. TODAY'S COMPLAINT IS FOR THE REMAINING 2 TIRES WHICH HAD MANUFACTURER DEFECT PER THE SHOP. PLEASE NOTE THESE ARE COOPERTIRE,CS5 NOT CS4.T THERE'S NOT AN OPTION FOR "CS5 "T SO LIKE OTHERS I'M USING THE CLOSET WHICH IS "CS4 T". MY VAN STARTING SHAKING (AT THIS POINT I HAVE TWO NEW TIRES ON 4/18 (COOPER CS5 -T) AND THE OTHER TWO TIRES ARE ALSO COOPER CS5 -T, BUT PURCHASED 1/2016, 80K MILE "WEAR OUT WARRANTY" I'VE PUT 7K ON THE TWO "NEW" TIRES & THE OTHER TWO HAVE 48K (22K LEFT). THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES, PEOPLE SHAKE, I STOP DRIVING IT ANYWHERE THAT WILL REQUIRE ME GOING OVER 35MPH.SHAKING ISN'T EVEN THE WORD FOR IT WHEN OVER 35 MPH. I CAN'T GET ANYWHERE ON MY 35MPH FOR 1.5 WEEKS.. NOT FUN WITH 4 KIDS TO RUN TO SPORTS SCHOOL & EVENTS. I GET THE VAN IN FINALLY ON THURSDAY, 10/18/2018. I GET A CALL FROM THE SHOP TO TELL ME THERE IS A "MANUFACTURER DEFECT" ON THE TWO OLDER COOPER TIRES. THAT DEFECT WHICH IS TYPED ON MY RCPT IS "FOUND THAT THE TIRE HAD A PLY SEPARATION CAUSING THE VIBRATION." SO I LOOKED IT UP, NOT KNOWING EXACTLY THE JARGON USED "TIRE SEPARATION IS ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS THINGS THAT CAN HAPPEN TO A TIRE, AND CAN PUT THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE AND EVERYONE ELSE AROUND AT RISK. A SEPARATION CAN LEAD TO A TIRE BLOWOUT, WHICH IN TURN CAN LEAD TO ONE OF THESE EVEN MORE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. HEAD-ON COLLISIONS. ROLLOVER ACCIDENTS. ROAD RUN-OFFS. SIDE IMPACT INCIDENTS. AND, MORE. OFTEN TIMES, THE INJURIES SUSTAINED FROM THESE ACCIDENTS ARE SEVERE, IF NOT DEADLY." I'M A METICULOUS RECORD KEEPER AND DO REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON MY VEHICLES. THE TIRES WENT ON 1/2016. ROTATED 1/11/2017, 5/17/2017, 3/2018, 4/2018,10/2018. OUT COME SAME AS LAST. 2 NEW TIRES I PAY FOR, NO OPTIONS, SO SAME BRAND ON AGAIN. IN 2016 I SPENT $675 ON 4 NEW TIRES, THEY SHOULD HAVE 22K LEFT OF WEAR. INSTEAD IN TOTAL I'VE PAID $106 TO HAVE THE BRAND TIRE ON IT.TOYOTA SAID ALL 4 TIRES WERE A PROBLEM 2/2018, DENIED

IN ADDITION THE WEAR ON THEM IS INCONSISTENT ON EACH TIRE. THE TIRE ISN'T WEARING RIGHT. ALIGNMENT RIGHT REAR CAMBER: -1.9 -.9. I HAD AN ALIGNMENT ACTUALLY TWO, BUT ONE CLOSE TO THIS APPOINTMENT. TAKE MY VEHICLE INTO WEAR I PURCHASED THEM, THE FINE PRINT COMES INTO PLAY.

I BOUGHT A SET OF 4 DOUGLAS ALL-SEASON 215/65R16 98T SL TIRES AT WALMART. AFTER LESS THAN 4 MONTHS/600 MILES OF USE, 3 OF THE TIRES WERE DIAGNOSED AS SEPARATING INSIDE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT COULD HAVE COST US OUR LIVES. THESE TIRES MUST BE RECALLED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. IF YOUR VEHICLE SHAKES AT A MODERATE SPEED (BETWEEN 25-40MPH) AND YOU HAVE THESE TIRES THEN YOU SHOULD GET THEM REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. IT IS NOT THE BALANCE (I HAD THEM BALANCED TWICE) OR THE ALIGNMENT, IT IS A DEFECT IN THESE PARTICULAR TIRES.

TIRES:TEMPORARY/EMERGENCY SPARE TIRE

TOYOTA SIENNA RECALL FOR SPARE TIRE CARRIER MOVED THE SPARE TIRE TO THE LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT OF VEHICLE. THE TIRE WAS REMOVED FROM THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE, PLACED IN A BAG, AND PLACED IN THE LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT. THE TIRE WAS NOT SECURED BY SERVICE AND IS FREE TO VIBRATE, SHAKE, AND ROLL WHEN TURNING. THIS WAS TO BE A TEMPORARY FIX, WITH THE PERMANENT SOLUTION TO BE DETERMINED BY TOYOTA. IT HAS BEEN OVER 6 MONTHS FROM THE RELEASE DATE OF THE RECALL AND THERE IS STILL NO PERMANENT SOLUTION, AND THERE IS NO ETA FOR A FIX AT THIS TIME, PER THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED AS IT IS LIMITING THE AVAILABLE LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT SPACE, AND THE MOVEMENT OF THE UNSECURED SPARE TIRE IS DISTRACTING. WHAT REQUIREMENTS ARE THERE FOR CLOSING OUT ACTION ITEMS ON RECALLS AND FOR COMPLETING "PERMANENT" FIXES?

TIRES

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, THE SPARE TIRE DROPPED SUDDENLY. TOYOTA KNEW ABOUT THIS CORROSION PROBLEM BACK IN APRIL 20, 2010 WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 10V160000. IN MAY 22, 2014, ANOTHER INTERIM CAMPAIGN NUMBER 14V273000 WAS ISSUED. UNTIL TODAY, NOTHING HAVE BEEN FOLLOWED UP TO SOLVE THE ISSUE. TOYOTA'S CUSTOMER SERVICE JUST TOLD ME THAT "UNTIL THEY FOUND A PERMANENT SOLUTION FOR THIS ISSUE, JUST PUT THE SPARE TIRE IN THE TRUNK". THIS TYPE OF SHIRKING RESPONSIBILITIES AND ALOOF ATTITUDE. THE SUDDEN DROPPED OF THE TIRE WOULD HAVE POSE A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITIONS TO OTHER VEHICLES IF ON A BUSY HIGHWAY.

TIRES

THE TIRES DO NOT LAST MORE THAN 18 MONTHS ON THIS VEHICLE. THE TIRE DEALER WILL NOT WARRANTY TIRES BECAUSE IT HAS OBVIOUS MISALIGNMENT BASED ON THE TIRE WEAR. I HAD THE ALIGNMENT CHECKED AND IT IS ALL WITHIN FACTORY SPECS. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING. I GET LESS THAN 20,000 MILES ON A SET OF TIRES THAT COST $600.

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS

AT FIRST, I HAVE THE TIRE PRESSURE INDICATOR LIGHT CONTINUING TO LIT UP. THEN ONE MORNING, THE VAN WAS SLOW TO RESPONSE TO SHIFTING GEAR AND ACCELERATION. AFTER STOPPING, IT WON'T START AND MOVE INTO GEAR AT ALL. THERE WAS NO ENGINE LIGHT BEING LIT OR WARNING SIGN. TOWED TO SHORE TOYOTA AT MAYS LANDING, NJ. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION OIL HAD ALL LEAKED OUT DUE TO THE BURST OF ABRUPT FAILURE ON THE INLET TO THE RADIATOR. THEY ASKED ME TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR AT A COST OF $1,150.26! AFTER REPAIRED, THEY THEN TOLD ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS BAD AND DIFFICULT TO MOVE INTO GEAR. THEY QUOTED ANOTHER $3,780 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. I WAS FURIOUS. SINCE THAT THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE VAN CAN BE DRIVEN. I WAS PREPARED TO TRADE IT IN AND WEIGHING MY OPTIONS. THE VAN HAS 133,279 MILES. I DROVE IT OK INITIALLY, HOWEVER, I EXPERIENCED THAT IT WAS DIFFICULT TO ACCELERATE TWICE. AFTER 15 MILES WHEN I STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE VAN JUST STUCK- IT CANNOT MOVE IN ANY OF THE GEARS AT ALL. I TOWED BACK HOME. AFTER COOLING DOWN, IT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AGAIN. THE NEW TRANSMISSION FLUID SMELLED BURNT. I AM WONDERING WHY: ?WHY THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT LIT UP AT ALL WHEN THE COOLANT TEMPERATURE WAS SO HIGH BEFORE SPOILING THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION? ?WHY WAS THAT NOT EVEN ANY DTC CODES STORED ON THE OBDII SYSTEMS AT ALL AFTER ALL THESE DEFECTS? ?THIS SEEMED THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE STICKY TRANSMISSION THAT OTHER CUSTOMERS HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT, YET TOYOTA HAS NOT INFORMING THE CUSTOMER OF ANY ACTIONS NEED TO BE TAKE. I HAVE BEEN RECEIVING NOTICES ABOUT THE VARIOUS RECALLS AND THE POTENTIAL OF MONETARY COMPENSATION, HOWEVER, NOTHING HAS BEEN REALIZED YET. ?THIS SEEMED TO BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS, IF THE VAN CAN BE SLOWED DOWN OR STOPPED SO DRASTICALLY, THE PEOPLE IN THE VEHICLE COULD BE BUMPED OVER.

I WAS DRIVING IN AUGUST AND COULD HEAR SOMETHING BANGING ON THE UNDERSIDE OF MY VAN, I WOULD STOP AND IT WOULD GO AWAY BECAUSE THE TREAD WOULD FALL ON ROAD AND THEN START A DAY LATER WITH MORE TREAD COMING OFF. IT WAS THE TREAD COMING OFF OF MY TIRES BUT DIDN'T KNOW THAT AT THE TIME AND GETTING CAUGHT ON THE UNDERSIDE OF MY VAN. THIS WENT ON FOR 2 WEEKS. MY TIRE SENSOR NEVER CAME ON. I DROVE TO OHIO ON I-75 OCTOBER 21, 2012 AND MY FRONT 2 TIRES BLEW OUT AT THE SAME TIME - BR 001522 TIRES. A BIG SLASH IN ONE TIRE A SMALL HOLE IN ANOTHER. I PULL OVER AND SEE A LOT OF THE TREAD IS COMPLETELY OFF OF BOTH TIRES. I GET TO A TIRE STORE AND THEY SAID IT LOOK LIKE THE ALIGNMENT CAUSED THE WEAR. I REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES AND HAVE THE TIRE CO PUT THE 2 IN MY BACK VAN. I GO TO BELLE TIRE TO GET A REFUND FOR MY TIRES WITH 29,000 MILES ON 65,000 WEAR TIRES. THEY SAID THEY WOULD CALL BRIDGESTONE. BRIDGESTONE DENIED MY CASE FOR A REFUND. I GOT AN ALIGNMENT 11/14/2012 AND IT SHOWS MY ALIGNMENT WAS OK A LITTLE OFF BUT WOULD NEVER HAVE CAUSED THAT KIND OF WEAR WITH TREAD JUST COMING OFF BOTH TIRES AT THE SAME TIME - THEY ARE DEFECTIVE TIRES. THE WHITE SPIKES WERE SHOWING ON BOTH TIRES - THE TREAD CAME OFF COMPLETELY ON BOTH TIRES AROUND THE EDGES.
