Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“2008 Toyota Sequoia was purchased with tires installed with a different brand and size from the spare. Spare can only be used for short time emergency use under 50 miles an hour. If a tire fails on a trip on an interstate and spare is installed vehicle will not handle or perform 100%. This places driver and passengers at risk. Not all people understand this risk and the owners manual explains this poorly. Most people will change the tire and drive on the spare normally. All vehicles should be equipped with the same brand and size of tire. …”
NHTSA complaint #10234747, filed 2008-07, 1,000 miles“Full size spare tire does not fit over front wheels if vehicle is equipped with the optional trd brake package because the calipers are larger. Toyota states that in the event of a front flat, the solution is to remove a rear tire, place the spare on the rear then remove the flat front tire and replace it with the rear tire. Toyota refused to replace the original spare with one that fits on the front.”
