| Description of the problem | Purchased toyota solara aug, 2007. Tires are @ 15k miles and the tread is shot. I contacted toyota and they stated see manufacturer for warranty. Toyota stated they would sell me new tires and then warranty treadwarte. Went to bridestone dealer and they would not honor tread warranty. So basically if you buy a new car you get no tire warranty. I think this is consumer fraud. |
