| Tire Bubble problems | |
| Tire Pressure Monitoring System problems |
While driving the vehicle, side wall blow out. Vehicle purchased new had 14,000 mile on it. Front tire blew out rear tire has "bubble" in same area. The vehicle is a 2008 Toyota Fj Cruiser.
I attempted to submit my vehicle to the service department at Toyota of longview, in longview, texas, in response to safety recall notice titled "certain 2008 through 2011 model year Fj Cruiser vehicles equipped with trd accessory wheels and Toyota-recommended light truck tires. " I requested the tpms ecu be replaced, the cold tire inflation pressure be revised and a new tire/loading label installed. Toyota of longview refused to perform the recommended work unless I paid a $99. 00 diagnostic fee. The recall notice stated these components will be replaced at no charge to me. I believe these components must be replaced notwithstanding the service department mechanic's opinion. Please advise on how to proceed.
