Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Sidewall of tire showed a bubble after 24,000 miles on a 2013 Toyota Avalon discovered by dealer on routine maintenance. Contacted michelin and they sent me to a dealer that bumped up the price $25 over the price the dealer quoted and only offered 20% credit. I believe the sidewall is a manufacturing defect. I have photos that I can send. These tires are a danger to the reining public and need to be recalled before death or a serious injury results from the sidewall.”
NHTSA complaint #10816581, filed 2015-12, 24,000 miles“We were driving our 2013 Toyota Avalon on I-10 in heavy traffic. After stopping for gas, we reentered the highway and the low tire pressure light came on. Before we could pull over, the right front tire blew out; the entire interior sidewall separated. We had not hit any pothole or any other object. Thankfully, my husband was able to maintain control of the vehicle and didn't swerve into the 18 wheeler next to us. The mechanic informed us that the bridgestone tires Toyota had placed on the vehicle had been downgraded from a 40k mile tire to a 0 mile tire. …”
