Left rear tire suddenly failed while I was towing a 3000 lb trailer on a major freeway. The rear of the Toyota started to sway which in turn caused the trailer to start to sway. The Toyota swung back and forth violently and nearly rolled over. Damage was done to both the trailer and the Toyota as the two vehicles jack knifed and struck each other. I was able to come to a stop on a rough shoulder of the road which did additional damage. I believe the goodyear tires were not sufficiently heavy duty for 4 wheeling on primitive roads and trailer towing. The 4runner came with a towing package which also was inadequate. The sock absorbers are too soft for stable towing. Adjustable stiffer shocks should be provided on such a vehicle as well as some kind of vehicle leveling system to provide more stable towing.

We have contacted Toyota and the dealership and they are unwilling to see any of these things as safety hazards. Especially door locks, tires, seatbelts. And we were never told the vehicle was serviced before we purchased it "brand new" in 1997. We found that out in error at the dealership (al hendrickson Toyota) when they accused us of not servicing our vehicle. The SUV was clearly a lemon all along. We took the vehicle to be serviced but the dealership conveniently has no records of us, even when provided with documented proof (receipts). There computer says "we did not come into service our vehicle. " the 1997 4-runner is a safety hazard. (dot number: n/a tiresize: p265/70r16).

Replaced all 4 tires because of vibration at highway speeds. We had these tires balanced and checked over 8 times at numerous dealers, but because of Ford recall, they would not do anything about it. I removed the tires from my vehicle at 14,000 miles due to safety concerns about the vibration. I still have the original tires. The firestone dealer would have done something about it had there not been a recall in effect. This problem existed from the day we purchased the vehicle until we had them removed.

Tires have been rotated and balanced as manufacturer suggested. Inside of tires have shown signifigant wear and at the time of recall we had tires checked only to find that there was steel showing on one tire and that tire was changed out with the spare. Other 3 tires are showing signs of extreme wear and we were told that because the tires were not made in decatour, IL there was nothing that could be done beyond purchasing new tires. There are only 40000 miles on the vehicle at this time and the tires are warrentied at 50000. Our concern is that the tires are a hazard because of the wear and this vehicle is primarily used for the family. ( dot number: w2hh awb25 tire size: p225/75r15 ).

These tires have never held air they always need to be reinflated. After a 3 hour trip (we make this trip often) accross the florida panhandle we always have to put air back into the tires. Given the resent problems with these tires failure to hole air with ours seems like a "bigger" deal than we have thought. When we went to the dealer they said our tires were not the ones on the recall. If the tires are safe then we believe they should not be replaced but. We cant get anyone to say they are safe? the only thing we have noticed it the air pressure problem on all four tires/ and the truck feeling like it is scraping around the left side without reguard to tire rotation. I have children I just want someone to tell me that these tires are indeed safe and why they will not hold air properly. ( dot number: tire size: p225/75r15 ).
