| Description of the problem | 2004 toyota sienna equipped with run flat tires. Had tires put on by toyota on friday oct. 28. Sunday oct. 30 while driving on highway had a tire blowout causing $2226. 00 damage to car. Pressure warning system did not work or was not set by toyota when tires were mounted on friday. If the pressure warning had been working we would have known there was a problem with the tire and had it fixed. Not knowing there was a problem with the tire led to the tire blowing out. Had van towed back to toyota and explained what had happened and they basically told us we had run over something and that we were going to pay for damage. Toyota was unwilling to acknowledge any responsibility in this matter. *jb |
