NHTSA Complaint #11141285 — 2006 TOYOTA SIENNA

PURCHASED 4 NEW CS5 GRAND TOURING TIRES THAT HAVE 80,000 MILE "WEAR OUT" WARRANTY ON JANUARY 26, 2016. MILES = 174295. IN APRIL 2018, 1 YEAR 4 MONTHS LATER, MILES NOW AT 215089 (40K PUT ON, SO SHOULD HAVE ANOTHER 40K MORE) MY VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE, NOT HOLD AIR, I EVEN HAD PROBLEMS WITH AIR GOING INTO THROUGH THE VALVE, MY VEHICLE FAILED AN ALIGNMENT CHECK BY AN AUTHORIZED TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. TIRE TREAD DEPTH FRONT DRIVER: 4 6 5 5 TIRE TREAD DEPTH FRONT PASS: 5 6 6 5 TIRE TREAD DEPTH REAR DRIVER 6 8 8 7 TIRED TREAD DEPTH READ PASS: 6 7 7 6 OBVIOUSLY NOT GOING TO GET ANOTHER 40K MILES OUT OF THESE TIRES. IN ADDITION THE WEAR ON THEM IS INCONSISTENT ON EACH TIRE. THE TIRE ISN'T WEARING RIGHT. ALIGNMENT RIGHT REAR CAMBER: -1.9 -.9. I HAD AN ALIGNMENT ACTUALLY TWO, BUT ONE CLOSE TO THIS APPOINTMENT. TAKE MY VEHICLE INTO WEAR I PURCHASED THEM, THE FINE PRINT COMES INTO PLAY. SURE THE CRAPPY TIRES, WEARING OUT POURLY, NOT HOLDING AIR, WON'T MAKE IT 80K, BUT I PAY HALF FOR TWO NEW TIRES PLUS LABOR, THE OTHER TWO TIRES DO NOT QUALIFY I'M JUST SOL. REPLACEMENT TIRES TO CHOSE FROM, THE EXACT SAME TIRE. SO I GET TO PAY FOR TWO NEW TIRES OF THE EXACT SAME BRAND AND WARRANTY. UPDATE TO FOLLOW AS A "MANUFACTURER DEFECT" HAS BEEN FOUND IN THE TWO TIRES THAT WERE ORIGINAL.
