2005 Toyota Sienna Tires & Wheels Problems

215/65 R 16. Four new CONTINENTAL tires fitted early 2021 to Sienna at Discount Tire in Tucson. July 2021 severe vibration and evidence of tire structural issue photographed. All tires showed similar failure mode.. this was on a very hot day. I took the vehicle to Big O tires and had the front two replaced at my expense so the vehicle was drivable. I returned to Discount Tire in Tucson (Speedway) to ask for a recall check after I learned of the 2021 recall on similar Continental tires for sidewall failure. Discount tire reimbursed one tire. I complained to agent Matthew Harby that the other two tires were dangerous because they showed the same sidewall defect on the hot day. He denied my request for replacement if the remaining two Continental tires because there was no open recall on these. I told I him I was worried about a catastrophic failure in normal operation. I then resumed driving. The weather cooled off and until October the two tires behaved normally again.. On 10/30 about 630pm I was dri ong on I10 and experienced catastrophic tire failure in the outside lane speed approx 65mph. I was fortunate to be able to pull over without losing control but the photo shows the extent of this serious failure. I am now at Discount Tire on Ina Road in Tucson requesting replacement of the failed tire and the final remaining CONTINENTAL tire. The photos should show sufficient evidence of sidewall failure matching the failure mode of the recalled tires. THESE ARE DANGEROUS AND NEED NHTSA ACTION WITH A UNIVERSAL RECALL BEFORE A FATAL EVENT OCCURS

FRONT TIRES - EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR PROBLEMS

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL. THE LIGHT WILL RANDOMLY TURN ON, WHICH BRAKES THE WHEELS. THE SYSTEM WILL START BEEPING AND SAYING A FALSE TRACTION CONTROL PROBLEM. (WHEN THE ROAD IS CLEAR) I LOOKED ONLINE MANY TOYOTA SIENNAS HAVE THIS ISSUE. IT IS DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED TO BE FIXED!

THERE IS A SPARE TIRE RECALL ON 2004-2011 TOYOTA SIENNAS. THE "INTERIM" FIX REMOVES THE SPARE TIRE FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE AND STORES IT IN THE PASSENGER AREA. TOYOTA HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2010. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR THE EXTRA CARGO SPACE AND THE SEVEN PASSENGER CAPABILITY. NOW AT BEST ITS A SIX PASSENGER VEHICLE WITH A PRETTY BIG TIRE UNSECURED IN THE PASSENGER/CARGO AREA. THE REASON FOR THIS RECALL IS THAT THE SPARE TIRE HAD BEEN SUSPENDED UNDER THE CAR AND NOW IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED THAT THE CABLE IS DETERIORATED AND COULD ALLOW THE SPARE TIRE TO DROP ONTO THE ROAD. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT TOYOTA IS IN NO HURRY TO MAKE A PERMANENT REPAIR. IN THE EVENT OF REALLY HARD STOP OR COLLISION THIS LOOSE TIRE AND WHEEL ASSEMBLY COULD CAUSE INJURY. *TR

215/65R-16 MICHELIN DEFENDER SL; LESS 15K MILES DRIVEN A CUT THROUGH OUTER LAYERS OF SIDEWALL AND WINDINGS VISIBLE. THOUGHT IT WAS LIKELY SOME UNNOTICED ROAD HAZARD UNTIL HAPPENED TO SECOND TIRE: AGAIN, DO NOT RECALL ANY INCIDENT LIKELY TO HAVE CUT THE TIRE. IN 40+ YEARS OF DRIVING, ONLY THESE TWO SIDEWALL CUTS, ON SAME MAKE OF TIRE, MAKE ME WONDER IF THE COMPOUND IS INHERENTLY WEAK. PHOTO AVAILABLE OF SECOND CUT. *TR

THE SPARE TIRE FROM OUR 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA FELL OFF AND WAS LOST DUE TO THE IDENTIFED DEFECT IN THE SPARE TIRE CARRIER CABLE. THE SPARE TIRE FELL OFF AFTER THE DEFECT HAD BEEN IDENTIFIED THROUGH A RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA, BUT BEFORE TOYOTA HAD A REMEDY FOR THE DEFECT. WHEN A REMEDY WAS IDENTIFIED, WE BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR THE FIX BUT THEY REFUSED TO REPLACE THE ALREADY LOST SPARE TIRE. TOYOTA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING OUR SPARE TIRE DUE TO THIS IDENTIFIED DEFECT.

MICHELIN "HYDROEDGE" XSE TIRES. 90K MILE WARRANTY. AFTER 30K MILES THERE ARE DEEP DANGEROUS SEPERATIONS IN THE TREAD PATTERN ON THE SHOULDER AT EVERY SINGLE TREAD LOOP ON ALL 4 TIRES.. REPORTS SAY TIRES EXPLODE FORM LOSS OF INTERNAL INTEGRITY AND PEOPLE HAVE DIED IN ACCIDENTS CAUSED FROM THESE BLOWOUTS. . WEB SEARCH CONFIRMS THAT THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS AND BLOWOUTS. TIRE SHOLD BE ON A SAFETY RECALL LIST BUT THEY ARE NOT. TIRES WERE SO DEFECTIVE THAT MICHELIN HAD TO STOP PRODUCTION. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR BLOWOUTS. WHEN WILL MICHELIN BE FORCED TO RECALL THESE TIRES BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE DIES FROM A BLOW OUT???? WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO FILL OUT THE REST OF THIS FORM, THE FORM WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO ENTER THE NAME FOR A TIRE LINE, "HYDROEDGE" XSE AND THE FACT THAT ALL FOUR (4) TIRES HAVE THE SAME DEFECT. ALSO TWO OF MY TIRES DO NOT HAVE ANY DATE STAMP IN THE DOT # AREA. HOW COULD THIS BE?????

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE EXPERIENCED A BLOW OUT ON ONE OF THE TIRES. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED BECAUSE THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT HAD NOT INDICATED AN ISSUE WITH THE TIRES. THE CONTACT INSTALLED NEW TIRES AND ALLOWED THE TIRES TO BE FILLED WITH LESS AIR THAN RECOMMENDED. THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING INDICATOR STILL DID NOT INDICATE A LOW PRESSURE WARNING.THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY ADVISED THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR COULD NOT BE INSPECTED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURE WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 83,000.

THE ALLOY WHEELS PIT AND CORRODE CAUSING THE OUTSIDE COVERING TO COME OFF AND ALSO CAUSING THE RIMS TO LEAK AIR AND THE TIRES TO GO FLAT. *TR

WE HAVE A 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA WITH ALL WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) AND RUN-FLAT TIRES. THE RIGHT REAR TIRE DISINTEGRATED WHILE ON I80 AT FREEWAY SPEED. THERE WAS NO WARNING BY THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM, BEFORE OR AFTER THE TIRE FAILURE. I NOTICED A VIBRATION EARLIER IN THE DAY AND NOW SUSPECT THE TIRE HAD BEEN FLAT FOR SOME MILES. THIS WAS OUR SECOND INSTANCE OF A FAILURE OF A RUN-FLAT TIRE, BUT IN THE CASE OF THE LEFT FRONT TIRE, THE WARNING LIGHT DID COME ON. IN BOTH CASES, IT WAS NECESSARY TO REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES DUE TO THE AWD. IN BOTH CASES AN ALIGNMENT HAS ALSO BEEN DONE, WHICH INCLUDES RESETTING THE SPEED SENSORS (TSB PG005-04), AND NO PROBLEMS WERE DETECTED. THIS INDICATES THE SYSTEM IS INADEQUATE TO RELIABLY DETECT A FLAT TIRE AND A CRASH COULD HAVE EASILY RESULTED. *TR
