| Description of the problem | We purchased the vehicle in 2007 and it was original equipment tires. The car tires were fine the first winter. The next winter in 2008 i started noticing the car was having issues when there was very little snow on the drive way or road. The car was slippery and the front two tries just had problems. This winter i almost would have been ran over by another car while this car tires just would not move and slipped and was in between two lanes. I finally changed the tires when i had 2500 miles only in my car. My husband called toyota dealer and spoke with them and they blame bridestone. I had to get the car on the road side and the police had to remove my car as it was unable to be driven. I hope you look at the tirerack website for other people having the same kind of issues. The tires just get stuck and don't budge. Also please do something about this. This is a rip off to consumers to change tires when the car is just 2 yrs old. Thanks. |
