2009 Toyota Sienna Tires Problems

“Sometime around august 2014, I received a safety recall notice from Toyota. It mentioned a new safety recall #e1s which supersedes the prior notice #a9e. This involves the spare tire carrier cable which may corrode due to road salt in cold climate areas, which I understand includes maryland where I live. I have called Toyota dealers near me and they keep saying that Toyota has not provided them with the part to repair this. I tried again today, march 13, 2015, but the answer is the same. …”

“Had firestone auto care install 4 brand new tires on vehicle at 9am on 11/3/17. That afternoon while traveling on interstate left front tire blew out. Took vehicle to firestone no indication that vehicle had hit something and no punctures in tire. Firestone replaced the tire. On 11/717 while traveling on local road the left rear tire suddenly lost all air and went flat. Once again no indication that the vehicle hit anything and no punctures in tire. I demanded a full refund from firestone which they agreed to provide. I took the vehicle elsewhere and had tires replaced with a different brand.”

As stated shops from kansas, florida, new york, etc are complaining of the same issue”

The technician was unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. …”
