Tire Blowout problems of the 2003 Toyota Prius

Toyota Prius hybrid 1. Tire blow out with the right psi and clear beautiful day. Dealer will not warranty or change tire. 2. The car stop and started running only on electrical service. Call Toyota dealer and they ask me to start the car three times and it will go away. I did it and drove to the dealer they explained to me that the humidity was causing the problem. This had happen about four times and every time the humidity was high but this is and inconvenience not just to me but my wife. One of this days the easy fixing will not work them what?.

I had a blow out on the front right tire on my 2003 Prius. The tire had a large split across the entire inside of the tire - the side you couldn't' see - as well as the spot in the outside of the tire that had blown out. The tire was completely destroyed and had very unusual wear patterns on it. The rest of the tires did not show unusual wear. I took it back to bridgestone since it was under warranty and they said it was a problem with the Prius. I took it to the Toyota dealer who said the tire warranty was through bridgestone. I now plan to replace the tires with higher psi tires that should have been on the car to begin with when purchased. The blow out sounded like an explosion when it happened. If I had been on a freeway I would have lost control of the car.
