2000 Toyota Camry Tires Problems

“My wife was driving back home on the turnpike. The front left tires tread separated from the core and almost caused a serious 2-car accident. The tread damaged our car. No one was hurt and the only damage was to our car. The bad tire did not go flat; it just lost all of its tread. I contacted bridgestone and used their procedure to claim damages. I got all the estimates and shipped the tire to them for examination. They sent me a form letter stating there was evidence of over deflection and denied any compensation. Over deflection is an under inflated tire. My tire was not under inflated. …”

“Re: dunlop sp sport 4000 tires, original equipment on 2000 Toyota Camry purchased nov 1999. He final digits of the DOT number on all the tires is: 369. My understanding is that these digits are supposed to indicate the date of manufacture. But surely that date cannot be the 3rd week of 1969! So my complaint is that the tires do not accurately indicate the date of manufacture.”

“My wife was driving on the 57 south fwy about 7p.m. When her front right tire exploded into serval pieces... This was the original tire and equipment. We understand a flat could have occurred from everyday wear and tear; however, this was not the case. This could have resulted in a serious or fatal accident. If you would like to see evidence of this, we will provide photos of what is left. We believe that this should be investigated and or recalled.”
