2009 Toyota Camry Tires Problems

“I have a 2009 Toyota Camry. Just after 20,000 miles, tires are worn-out. The dealer who sold me the new car asked me to change tires. I bought this car less than 2 years (a brand new car at that time). If tires can last only 20,000 miles, these tires (on Camry) must be poor quality. I think Toyota must recall to fix this problem because this could put driver/passengers at risk.”

“On october 4, 2013, I purchased 4 tires from dealership. The 4 tires brand: cooper cs4 215/60r16. On may 11, 2014, returning from dinner with family, the front passenger tire immediately went flat resulting in calling aaa roadside service. I took the tire back to the dealership and was informed that there was a huge lump on the sidewall of the tire. It was stated that I must have hit a pothole, which I had not. I had to replace the tire. I have all documentation regarding this event.”

“I have a 2009 Toyota Camry le that I have owned for less than two years. Currently has less than 13,000 miles. The 40,000 mile bridgestone turanza tires, size 215/60/16 that came with this car, have worn down to 5/32 within 18 months. That is 1/2 of the tread gone. Minimal city driving with very little freeway driving. Always properly inflated and rotated every 5,000 miles .I have had to replace the tires. I did not replace them through the Toyota dealership. I purchased quality tires elsewhere. …”

“Drove home from work about 6:30pm (central) last night (10.17.2012). Parked in enclosed garage. Sat in the kitchen with my family. Heard a pop sound minutes later after parking. Went outside to investigate source of sound. Looked around car and discovered front passenger tire flat.the tire had blown just sitting in the garage! Took tire off this morning and discovered it has a 1.25 inch tear in the inside about half way between rim and the tread. There are no visible punctures or intrusions of foreign objects. To me this incident is strange in and of itself. …”

“I had to replace the tires on my 2009 Camry at around 25,000 miles. The low pressure tire light came on after I had just had it serviced. The master mechanic at work check the tire pressure and each tire was 8 - 10 pounds low on pressure. I took it to Toyota in north augusta, sc and the rude service manager told me that when I had it serviced a top technical signed off as rotating and airing the tires and that had it been another technician he might believe they didn't air the tires. He only aired the tires, didn't check valve stems or for tire defects. …”
