Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I discovered approximately 15 months and 18000 miles after taking delivery of my new, 2009 toyota/Scion XB vehicle, that the tire placard information was incorrect (showing 35psi front and 32psi rear). It should have showed 39psi front and 37psi rear. I've been driving this whole time with grossly underinflated tires resulting in extremely uneven wear. The safety issue goes without saying...it is my understanding that a federal law/regulation requires the seller of new vehicles in the u.s. To put proper tire placard information on the vehicle. …”
NHTSA complaint #10317409, filed 2010-03“The contact owns a 2009 Scion XB equipped with uniroyal tiger paw tires, size: 235/40zr18 (na).

The vehicle and tire failure mileage was 70,000.”
