Tire Pressure Monitoring System problems of the 2008 Toyota Camry

I purchased bridgestone turanza tires from Toyota in December 2010. Today, 4/25/2011, while driving at 65 or 70 mph (no debris or potholes) the tire failed and caused a blowout. Tire's dot number: obx8pm6-3710. 215/60r16 only about 5000 miles had been driven since the tire was first installed. Went to dealer and replaced the tire for free. Toyota did not know why the tire failed, but both road side assistance and the dealer did not find any evidence of puncture or road related damaged. This is not a Toyota issue, but I believe that bridgestone should do a recall if its tires are failing after only about 5000 miles. I have 3 of the same tires plus the replacement turanza tire on my car which I am extremely uneasy about now. I would like to see an investigation into this matter by bridgestone and govt regulatory agencies. I am very lucky that I wasn't killed today.

Premature wear of all 4 bridgestone tires with approximately 13,000-14, 000 miles. Tread was significantly below regulatory limits, but not bald, yet the mileage was very low. All tires had been regularly rotatated (approx. Every 4,000 miles), and when tested were in alignment. Contacted the Toyota dealership, which stated that they only warranty tires for 12,000 miles, or 1 year. Then contacted bridgestone and was given a case number, and an appointment with the local firestone dealership. The gentleman at firestone confirmed that the tires were abnormally worn and made a recommendation to his boss that at least 3 of 4 tires be replaced at no cost to me. The next day, I returned and at first the manager was somewhat difficult, but after he had insisted on testing the alignment and finding that it was close to perfect, his tone changes and he couldn't have been nicer. He authorized the replacement of all tires, which had to be ordered, as Toyota only permits substitutions with the same, or one grade lower speed rating, and the dealership did not have v-rated tires in stock, but the next day I once again returned and one hour later drove away with brand new tires. N. B. If you do not regularly rotate, balance, and if-needed align your tires, bridgestone/firestone will not replace.

2008 Toyota hybrid Camry--from the date of purchase in October, 2007 I have experienced surging when I use cruise control and go up an incline or hill. I have accepted this as normal but now am wondering if I have a problem with my accelerator. My understanding is that the hybrid is not on the list of recalls. Can you check this out for me. I am also reminded that I had a defective tire replaced within the first year. Thank you.
