“As I was changing lanes, I veered a little far onto the left shoulder and hit the rumble strips on the shoulder of the road. I turned a slight right to get the vehicle back into the left lane and my tires broke loose . The tire separated from the rim, and I slid into a horizontal position, across both lanes, on the rim. I then tried to steer the vehicle back into the left lane, however my car turned a 180 and went into a forward horizontal motion. I then hit a bump or something in the road and my car flipped and went airborne. …”
NHTSA complaint #10203709, filed 2007-09, 770 miles“2008 Scion TC tire monitoring system does not calibrate correctly. Purchased car on may 10, 2008 and tire pressure monitoring system was active. Dealer reset and stated light would go out. On may 12 took back to dealer, parts were not available, sensors in rims. Went back on may 16 for a two hour repair that took over 14 hours to get the tire monitoring system to calibrate with the sensor in the wheels. I have been told that Scion knew that the tire pressure monitoring system has not been perfected.”
