Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The tires on the Scion have been replaced every 4 to 8 months. Toyota said its not their problem. I spoke to many mechanics and they do not know why the tires are breaking, they believe its the car design and the low profile tires. I do not speed and avoid pot holes. This is a major safety hazard.”
