Carson St. Lakewood, 90712, +15624298137. the warranty shows they should last at least 40000 miles. the tires worned out (by walmart auto care center staff on 11/2024) at 27000 miles. Walmart has not worked with me to replace these defective low quality tires (viva3 brand) and i am in a dilemma as i am unable to replace them now.

The rear right wheel broke off when going in reverse, leaving driveway (low speed). Towed to a garage. Was told that the rear frame member had rusted through. Had no warning of this -- car is used regularly and had been inspected several months ago. EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO ANOTHER COUPLE WE KNOW WHO ALSO OWN A 2013 PRIUS -- rear wheel came off because the frame member rusted through. Happened about a month before ours. They too were going in reverse, slowly, coming out of a parking spot, after driving 40+ miles to Boston. Car needed to be towed and rear frame member replaced. Repair for us cost $1300

A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING LOW TIRE PRESSURE. I STOPPED IMMEDIATLY IN THE CLOSEST PARKING LOT. THE SIDEWALL ON MY GOODYEAR WEATHERHANDLER FUEL MAXX TIRES HAD SPLIT APART, ABOUT 12 INCHES TOTAL IN 3 SPOTS. THE CORDS OF THE SIDEWALL WERE SHOWING. THESE WERE 65,000 MILE TIRES PURCHASED JANUARY 2016. THEY HAD ABOUT 28,000 MILES ON THEM AT THE TIME THEY FAILED. I JUST FINISHED A 2500 MILE TRIP USING THE INTERSTATES. IF THEY FAILED THERE, IT WOULD HAVE KILLED US. GOD WAS WATCHING OVER US. THE TIRE WAS TOTALLY FLAT IN 5 MINUTES. THESE WERE PURCHASED FROM TIRE KINGDOM. AFTER GETTING THE SPARE ON, I DROVE THE 2 MILES TO THE STORE I PURCHASED THEM FROM. THEY EXPLAINED THEY NO LONGER HAD ANY STOCK, AS IT WAS A PURCHASE THEIR CHAIN MADE FROM SEARS WHEN THEY WENT OUT OF BUSINESS. I WAS UPSET THEY SOLD ME LEFT OVER...

IN HEAVY RAINS BREAKING DOES NOT WORK WELL. EVEN AT 10 MPH IF YOU HIT A PUDDLE OF WATER. CAN CAUSE A CRASH. IT HAS HAPPENED ON A DIRT ROAD GOING AT LOW SPEED. BACK ROAD WHERE WATER RISES AND IN SOME HEAVY RAIN ON THE HIGHWAY

I HAD A REAR TIRE BLOW OUT FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING. AND IT APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT. I DID HAVE TO DRIVE OFF ROAD TO SAFELY AVOID RISKY SITUATION. THE TOYOTA DEALER REFUSED TO TAKE UP WITH YOKOHAMA. I BOUGHT THE CAR ONLY IN FEBRUARY THIS YEAR AND BARLEY HAS ANY MILES ON IT. THE DEALERSHIP COMPLETELY UNHELPFUL. THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECT AND SAFETY HAZARD! *TR

WHILE THE CAR WAS GOING DOWN THE RAMP TO THE PARKING BASEMENT, THE BRAKE IN OUR PRIUS DIDN'T FUNCTION EVEN THOUGH THE DRIVER SLAMMED ON IT AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO PICKED UP ACCELERATION. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED EITHER, AMAZINGLY. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AND MISSED THE WALL/CONCRETE PILLAR, BUT THE DRIVER HIT A PARKED CAR AND THAT'S WHAT STOPPED THE PRIUS FROM MOVING FURTHER. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN NOVEMBER SINCE THE CAR IS NEW . I WANTED TO INSTALL MUD GUARDS SO I HAD TO REMOVE EACH WHEEL. AS I WAS TORQUING THE WHEEL NUTS, ONE STUD CAME OFF. I USED A TORQUE WRENCH 65 FTLB. I WENT TO THE DEALER THEY TOLD ME THAT I BROKE THE STUD THAT THIS IS NOT COVER BY THE WARRANTY. I TOLD THEM THAT THIS STUDS MUST HAVE A DEFECT FROM MANUFACTURING. I HOPE THEY DON'T FAIL WHILE I'M DRIVING. *TR
