NHTSA Complaint #10143088 — 2005 TOYOTA SIENNA

GOT A NAIL IN A RUN FLAT TIRE ON MY 2005 AWD SIENNA VAN. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT UNDER WARRANTY. DEALER TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THE NAIL WAS IN THE SIDEWALL AND THEN OFFERED TO SELL ME 4 NEW RUN FLAT TIRES FOR MY 3 MONTH OLD VAN FOR $1300. HAD FOUR REGULAR TIRES PUT ON THE VAN AND ALSO BOUGHT A NEW WHEEL FOR A SPARE SINCE THE AWD VAN DOES NOT COME WITH A SPARE TIRE (BRIDGESTONE). *NM
