| Description of the problem | Dt: the consumer stated that the vehicle experienced two flat tires. The first was on april 2005 while traveling at a high rate of speed. The vehicle became hard to maneuver, the ride was dangerously rough, and the tire indicator light came on. The flat was on the driver's side front tire. The consumer then realized that the vehicle did not have a spare tire. Three weeks later second tire had a flat. This occurred again while traveling at a high rate of speed, tire indicator light came on before having trouble maneuvering the vehicle. This time it was the passenger's side front tire. The consumer then took the vehicle to a repair shop which did not carry the size of tires for her vehicle. The consumer contacted a toyota dealership that provided her with a dunlop regular tire that was the right size. The consumer had to take the tire to the repair shop for them to replace the tire because toyota would not be liable for the contact driving the vehicle with a regular tire. The consumer went to a toyota repair shop and they showed her the tires on the vehicle. The tires needed to be replaced because they had wore out unevenly. The tires wore out so badly that they went bald. The consumer felt unsafe with this vehicle. The consumer had been speaking with toyota and bridgestone and has yet to receive any help. On august 2005, the consumer put all regular tires on the vehicle and felt safer and believed the odds were lower for a having a blow out on the freeway. *ak updated 11/29/2005. *nm |
