| Description of the problem | Bubble on inside of rr tire, suggest replacing 215-55-17 bridgestone potenza. Wolfchase toyota may have replaced tire on rf of car, not rr. I can only presume bubble may still be on tires which were supposedly rotated. Another description on first page of owner's receipt states "c/r replace tire that has a bubble on it. Replaced right front tire." i cannot tell which tire was replaced, or if any were replaced. Driving with a bubble on a tire may cause loss of control of the vehicle. I only had 24. 983 miles on the tires, but wolfchase toyota required full purchase price of $211,15 for replacement tire and misidentified where they replaced the tire. Wolfchase provided no road hazard or warranty on the tire because rep said i failed to purchase this coverage when the car was new. I told the rep that i was not told i needed to buy the coverage when i purchased the car. Based on your database, bridgestone has had bubble problems on their tires which has caused accidents. Wolfchase toyota failed to show me this tire with a bubble which has been a customary practice at other service places that i've gone to. |
