1 Tire Bubble problem of the 2005 Toyota Scion Tc

Failure Date: 01/12/2014

Now feeling compelled to document this issue only because it is the 2nd failure of these tires. Failure in the rear drivers side tire side wall bubble was seen as I entered my Scion Tc 2005 that was on 1/30/13 mileage 57786. That would make it 7400 miles for the first failure. The original tires purchased (all 4) 12/10/11 mileage 50320. Now after almost a year the 2nd failure of these tires inside wall where tread belt meets side wall has peeled off. This was on a day when we had our 2 grandsons in the car. Mileage now 64395. Different tire front drivers side. So that is 14k on this tire that failed. As you can see we are not high mileage divers. My biggest concern would be what if this failed on the interstate at 70 mph? sounds like the issue fstone had some years ago. Speed was not a factor, bad roads not a factor, the weather was clear, no outside condition or other vehicles involved. I have been driving for 50+ years. We will contact the tire manufacture also.

2 Tire Bubble problem of the 2006 Toyota Scion Tc

Failure Date: 07/02/2012

These are replacement pirelli tires for my daughter's 2006 Scion Tc. 235/40r18 h pirelli p zero nero a/s 91h tires installed new about 1 year ago. 1 tire on left rear developed large bulge/bubble on sidewall - identified during service at servicing Toyota dealership. Contacted pirelli USA - was advised to have tire replaced and return incident tire to pirelli for evaluation and any possible credit towards purchase of replacement. To date, and after several contacts with big o tires who performed the replacement - no answer. Please note there was no evidence of split or damage to inside casing opposite the bulge - this tire was not damaged against a curb. Could have led to a blow out.

3 Tire Bubble problem of the 2005 Toyota Scion Tc

Failure Date: 05/21/2007

Car: 2005 Scion Tc purchased: mcgee Toyota of hanover, MA in may 2007. -emergency brake failing 2 weeks after purchase, which caused an accident. -the dealership misdiagnosing the wheel bearing (2-3 times, finally fixing it). -we've been to mcgee Toyota probably 5+ times now, and woburn Toyota twice, all for problems with a 2005 Scion Tc. One of the other issues was when my wife bought the car, she bought a Toyota extended warranty. We noticed a few weeks after purchase that the weather stripping was dry-rotting, and woburn Toyota said they wouldn't replace it since it wasn't a factory windshield. We were originally told by mcgee Toyota that we could take this car to any Toyota dealership and the warranty would be valid. Why were we not told by mcgee Toyota when she bought the car, that the windshield had been replaced? mr murphy said he would do anything in his power to make us happy. Mr murphy said he would replace all four tires on the car (because we also noticed there were 3 different tires on the car), as well as replace the windshield for us. We picked the car up yesterday, to find her seats leaned back (it looked like some teenage kids just got done joy-riding), two bubbles in the middle of the new(another aftermarket windshield, which is not covered under warranty ? again!) windshield, a loud squeal coming from the engine when revved, and the clutch making a very loud and noticeable squeak when depressed. It seems that when we bring the car in for something, we leave with 2-3 more problems. When addressed by a manager, it comes to no avail. I attempted to talk with a manager about those issues, and when I refused to shake his hand, we were asked to leave! there are many more issues with this car, which are too many to list in this initial complaint.
