Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The tires wear out too quickly. Two years ago I bought 70000 mile tires and after less the 30000 miles all four tires were worn down on the outside edge. The alignment was checked at the dealer every 10000 miles and the tires were rotated. This is a safety issue because the tires get excessively worn before they are expected to. The car was not moving. I noticed the excessive wear and took it to the dealer. They said that this car just eats up tires.”
NHTSA complaint #11153241, filed 2018-11, 87,000 miles“Toyota Sienna goes through tires at a rate 1.5-two times as fast as the tire manufacturers expected mile warranty. Michelin primacy mxv4 (not a cheap tire) had a little over 40k miles before they needed to be replaced. Replaced with continental true contact (90,000 mile tire) and I have driven about 45k miles on them and they are once again in need of replacement. I rotate tires at the dealership on a regular basis as well as keep them inflated at the recommended inflation. Vehicle has also had regular alignment checks and performed alignments. …”
NHTSA complaint #11003892, filed 2017-07, 91,000 miles“I own a 2012 Sienna with approximately 34,000 miles. The wheels are aluminum, and the tires have all received routine rotations at the dealership, and tire repairs at the local tire dealer, all of which involved the use of air driven impact wrenches. Impact wrenches have damaged the two piece chrome plated protective covering on most of the lug nuts on my wheels to the point that they literally cannot be removed or reinstalled using the factory supplied lug wrench. The wrench no longer fits the damaged lug nuts. …”
