NHTSA Complaint #10919408 — 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY

THESE ARE MY OEM TIRES ON MY 2015 TOYOTA CAMRY HYBRID WITH 13,000 MILES. THE TIRES ARE THE OEM BRIDGESTONE TURANZA EL400-02 TIRES. I HAVE DISCUSSED THE PROBLEM WITH LE MIEUX & SON TOYOTA IN GREEN BAY, WI. THE OWNER IS TOM LE MIEUX AND IS THE PERSON I TALKED WITH AMONG HIS SERVICE MANAGER AND THE SALESMAN. THE WEAR ON THE TIRES IS ACTUALLY EVEN ACROSS THE FRONT TIRES AT 7/32 AND 8/32 ON REAR TIRES. YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THE CENTER TREAD PATTERN IS ALMOST GONE EACH TIRE AND EXTENDING INTO THE NEXT TREAD PATTERN ON EACH SIDE OF THE MIDDLE TREAD. THERE HAS BEEN NO OVER INFLATION OF THE TIRES AND THE TIRES HAVE BEEN ROTATED THREE TIMES NOW ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AND MY MAINTENANCE BOOK. PER TOM LE MIEUX AND HIS STAFF THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY WILL DO TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM OF THE ODD CENTER TREAD PATTERN WEAR. TOYOTA PUTS THIS JUNK ON THEIR VEHICLES AND ONE SHOULD ONLY EXPECT TO GET 20,000 MILES FROM THEM. LOOSING THE TREAD PATTERN IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE TIRES SHOULD BE REPLACED. THIS CAR IS ALREADY HYDROPLANING. THE TIRES SLIP DURING ACCELERATION FROM A STOP SIGN. THE ALSO SLIP WHEN CORNERING ON WET PAVEMENT. I BOUGHT A 2007 CAMRY WITH THE SAME TIRES ON IT AND BASICALLY HAD A SIMILAR WEAR ISSUE PROBLEM IN 2008. AT THAT TIME BRIDGESTONE WAS ALSO HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THESE TURANZA TIRES AND TOYOTA REPLACED MY TIRES. NOT THIS TIME THEY SAY.
