general problems of the 2006 Toyota Scion Tc

On my 2006 Scion Tc I currently equipped with bridgestone turanza el 400 tire size: 215/45zr17. The problem that I've encountered is the tread is separating from the side walls on both front tires and I can feel that the rear tires are starting to do the same. Fortunately for me I spotted this defect before an incident occurred. Currently the cords are exposed on top of the tires. They almost feel like the tires where recapped and are now separating. I just noticed it today 28 Nov 2008 and I'll have to replace the tires tomorrow. I only have approx. 25,000 miles on these specific tires and they are rated for 80,000 miles. This is a potential safety/recall issue that needs to be addressed immediately especially if occurring to others. Please inform if a recall is present for these tires. Thank you!!!.

- the contact had a 2006 Scion Tc. The contact stated that his vehicle had been deemed a "lemon" by scion corporate. The vehicle was deemed a lemon because of rattling sounds coming from the hatchback for which 3 unsuccessful attempts were made to repair. Other failures included: the transmission wouldn't engage when you put the car in reverse gear, the rear bumper was cracked, and the tires screeched. The contact was in an accident on 11/25/2006 at 3:30 am, on 110 expressway in los angeles. The contact was driving 60 mph. Neither the weather nor the road conditions were a factor in the crash. During a turn, the tires weren't gripping the road well. The vehicle veered to the right and he applied brakes to slow car down. The consumer overcorrection to the left and proceeded into a ditch. The vehicle spun around and another vehicle hit him on the passenger side. The contact also stated that the airbags never deployed. The contact stated that the car being a lemon was the cause of the crash. The contact has a police report.
