| Description of the problem | 2004 toyota sienna developed problems with the tires. ***no answer required***. *mr at 12,000 miles, the tires started to make a rumbling noise in the rear of the vehicle. Upon inspection of the vehicle, it was determined the tires were showing signs of wear on the outside and the inside, 1/3 of the rear tires were cupping so bad that the tread was worn off in segments all around the inside edge, overall the tires were down close to the tread markers. The front of the vehicle was slightly out of alignment and was the cause of all the problems. The consumer also stated that the runflat tire had low air pressure due to the warning light illuminating. When the vehicle was taken to the dealer, he was told there was a nail in the tire and the runflat tire was un-repairable, however the owners manual stated the tire was repairable. The vehicle did not come equipped with a spare tire. *jb |
