| Description of the problem | Catastrophic tire failure on a toyota sienna awd van with run flat tires. Fortunately, no major injuries or damage this time. The tire pressure monitoring system failed to sense the lack of pressure in one of the tires. Driving on the tire with no air pressure caused catastrophic tire failure. I was told by the toyota dealer the tire pressure monitoring did not malfunction, it simply does not work. It cannot be fixed since toyota says there is nothing wrong. *jb |
