“I have a 2005 Toyota Sequoia. I have had continued issues with outer wear on the front tires since I purchased the car, and yes I have had it aligned several times. The tires, regardless of quality, are lasting about 20,000 miles. Until this issue is addressed I would not recommend this car to anyone from a safety or expense perspective.”

NHTSA complaint #10495967, filed 2013-01, 143,000 miles“Our 05 Toyota Sequoia bought new with original tires(dunlop grand trek at20). Almost right away noticed the tires wearing oddly on outside of all 4 tires. We purchased Toyota's service plan & took it in as suggested every 5,000 miles. My wife told a service man & was told it was expected. I took it in & they rotated the tires again. Going against Toyota's recommendation(every other oil change). I didn't see how rotating them sooner would stop the problem. I have noticed the traction on them failing even on dry road and this is the only form of transportation for my wife and 2 year old son. …”
