2009 Toyota Sienna Tires

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.

THE BEADS ON COOPER CS 5 TIRES ARE BULGING ON THE SIDE WALLS CAUSING BLOW OUTS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON INTERNET REGARDING THIS ISSUE. THE LOCAL COOPER TIRE DEALER AND COOPER MANUFACTURER ARE DENYING THESE ISSUES. THEY BOTH STATE IT IS THE WAY THE SHOP IS MOUNTING AND BALANCING THE TIRES. IF THAT WAS THE CASE, WE WOULD HAVE ISSUES WITH GOODYEAR, FIRESTONE, BF GOODRICH, CONTINENTAL, ETC TIRES. THE COOPER MANUFACTURER IS TRYING TO SAY THAT THE COOPER CS 5 TIRES ARE SENSITIVE. AS STATED SHOPS FROM KANSAS, FLORIDA, NEW YORK, ETC ARE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUE

IT HAS BEEN 4 YEARS AND TOYOTA HAS STILL NOT PROVIDED A SOLUTION TO THE SPARE TIRE (UNDER VEHICLE MOUNT) RECALL. WHY ARE YOU GIVING THEM SO MUCH TIME TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE???? THIS TIRE SITS IN THE TRUNK AND TAKES UP VALUABLE SPACE. YOU MUST PUT PRESSURE ON THEM TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. IT SHOULD NOT TAKE 4 YEARS TO RESOLVE. *TR

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. THEREFORE, I AM REGISTERING MY COMPLAINT TODAY AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW SOON THIS SAFETY DEFECT MIGHT BE TAKEN CARE OF. *TR
