Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)Selling Old tires as if they were new On May 1st 2023, I took my 2007 Toyota Sequoia to Toyota of Vero Beach to be serviced. They advised me that my 2 Goodyear tires were dry rotting and cracking. The tires were purchased in 5/14/2019. The odometer read 181923 the mileage when they were inspected by Toyota was 205140 a difference of 23,217 miles and show no wear. I called the mechanic stated I purchased the tires in 2010, how could they be dry rotting and cracking. The mechanic looked up the serial number and determined they were made in 2015 and were 8 years old. The tires are P265/65R17 110S S2 WRL SR-A TL MFG. No. M7AHEXWR2316 and M7AHEXWR2315. I can’t understand how you can sell me tires that are 5 years old and pass them off as new. That is not what I bargained for! This is unconscionable and dangerous since this vehicle is used to tow a heavy boat.
I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREE WAY WHEN I FELT MY VEHICLE RATTLED AND A SOMETHING CAME OFF THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE. I WAS ABLE TO TAKE AN EXIT AND SAFETY. I GOT OUT AND CHECKED THE TIRE AND FOUND A 2X5 CHUNK OF RUBBER WAS MISSING FROM THE TIRE WALL AND THE TIRE WAS GOING FLAT. WHEN I TRIED TO OPEN THE BACK-HATCH TO PUT ON THE SPARE TIRE THE HATCH LATCH WOULDN'T WORK. UPON CLOSER INSPECTION I FOUND THE PLASTIC LATCH WAS BROKER AND MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO LOWER THE THE SPARE TIRE. I WAS FORTUNATE TO BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO HOME TO DRIVE IT SLOWLY BEFORE THE TIRE WENT COMPLETELY FLAT. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I FOUND THE LATCH ISSUE TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH SEQUOIA 2002-2007 DUE TO CHEAP PLASTIC PART AND WITH OUT PROVIDING A SECONDARY SAFETY RELEASE TO OPEN THE BACK-HATCH IN CASE OF EMERGENCY. THE DEALER IS CHARGING $400 - $500 DOLLARS LABOR TO MAKE THE REPAIR TO A $20 DOLLAR PART. HTTP://FORUMS.EDMUNDS.COM/DISCUSSION/10071/TOYOTA/SEQUOIA/TOYOTA-SEQUOIA-REAR-HATCH-DOOR-PROBLEMS
