Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“After a blowout on my left front tire on my 2002 Toyota Sienna xle, I discovered that the lug nuts designed for the aluminum wheels do not fit the steel wheel of the full size spare, and Toyota does not provide the acorn type lug nuts for the spare. The lug nuts for the aluminum wheels do not seat properly against the steel wheel spare. I believe that not providing the proper lug nuts for the spare is a serious omission on Toyota's part and makes driving with the spare with the improper lug nuts very dangerous.”

NHTSA complaint #10045173, filed 2003-10, 29,000 miles

“The spare tire is mounted under the vehicle with the shredder valve oriented downward for easy access. The wheel is steel and is located so the tires kick up water and road sand and, with this orientation, water is trapped, like in a bowl, and sits on the steel. The paint has long been blasted away from the sand exposure and now the wheel is rusted so badly it is extremely thin and cannot be used without risking failure of the wheel, especially on the front where loads can reach in excess of 2500 pounds in a dynamic fatigue situation. …”
