NHTSA complaint #10229218, filed 2008-05, 15,800 miles“Just eight months after purchasing four new tires from just tires, I felt the car sliding in the rain and decided to take my car to the Toyota dealership to be checked. I was informed that the tires were completely bald and too dangerous to drive on. I live in los angeles, I do not drive on road-wearing terrain but residential streets and freeways, so there is no obvious reason as to why the tires were worn out just eight months later. I then contacted just tires directly with my complaint and brought them the worn tires. …”
NHTSA complaint #10329221, filed 2010-05, 40,272 miles“I have a 2006 Toyota Highlander hybrid. It has the four wheel drive I system. Any time the vehicle senses slipping in the tires it cuts power to all wheels. I have been stuck in very manageable conditions. Not only do you not get 4 wheel drive to help out of adverse conditions, you get no drive to any wheels and are left stuck. I spoke with Toyota and they said that the vehicle is designed to do this to prevent damage to the hybrid system. There is no information in any of the literature provided when purchasing a vehicle. …”
