| Description of the problem | Purchased new 2017 toyota rav4. With less than 1000 miles on the car, i had a flat traveling on the toll road. Speed limit was 70mph. I was on the toll road for about 20 miles. The front driver side tire had a large sidewall hole. I took the tire back to the toyota dealer service department. They gave one quick look and i was told that "no warranty was on the tire by toyota or bridgestone." i had no choice but to replace the tire at my own expense. See attached pictures of the tire. I have the tire in my possession if someone wishes to inspect it for manufacturer failure. |
