2011 Toyota Sienna Wheels Problems

“Coming around a turn at 10 MPH, the passenger rear tire blew out, with a total loss of pressure and a whoosh of air. The tires were properly inflated at the time. The tire pressure warning light was not lit. The tires have only 23,547 miles on them. I do not feel a tire that is 2 years old with this number of miles should suffer a complete failure. I am very concerned for my safety and that of my family. Luckily no one was hurt, this time.”

“We purchased our Sienna feb 2015 from a dealer. In may 2016 we were informed our tires had worn on the inside and they needed to be replaced and an alignment needed to be done. We did both as recommended. In september 2016 we were told that our tires were feathering due to an alignment issue, so again the van as aligned. The tires are balanced and rotated per the recommended time frame. I took my van in june 2017 to the dealer to have an oil change done and was informed that I will need new tires soon. These are michelin tires which are 60,000 tires. They currently have 25,859 miles on them. …”

“We purchased this vehicle in february 2011. It came with free Toyota maintenance for the first 2 years and has been brought in for every scheduled maintenance, most recently the 25,000 mile service at 26,000, so the tires have regularly been rotated and inspected by the dealership. Two years and less than 27,000 miles after purchasing the vehicle, I noticed that it was not handling well in snow despite being an awd. To our surprise, the tires were worn. I brought it to a tire shop hoping for just an alignment and were told the tires were not safe to drive on. …”

“Told during my service at 15000k by Toyota technician that I would need to replace all 4 tires on my 2011 Toyota Sienna. I asked how was it possible a brand new leased vehicle with 15000k miles would need new tires and I was told that I could make it to 20000k but need new ones. The technician could not tell me why the tires were failing. After researching this issue and speaking with other Toyota Sienna owners it appears to be a big problem with the tires placed on Sienna minivans. It also appears that Toyota is blaming the tire company and the tire company is blaming Toyota. …”

“The van has extreme outer tire wear on the front of the vehicle. Driver's side front seems to be to worst. Tires are being rotated at recommended intervals (5000-6000mi) and an alignment check and adjustment is done at the same time. 60,000mi rated tires are lasting 10,000-15,000mi before requiring replacement and causing very poor turning/steering, excessive steering wheel vibration and pull, and dramatically increased hydroplaning in mild rain conditions.”
