1 Tire problem

Failure Date: 10/30/2021

215/65 r 16. Four new continental tires fitted early 2021 to Sienna at discount tire in tucson. July 2021 severe vibration and evidence of tire structural issue photographed. All tires showed similar failure mode. . This was on a very hot day. I took the vehicle to big o tires and had the front two replaced at my expense so the vehicle was drivable. I returned to discount tire in tucson (speedway) to ask for a recall check after I learned of the 2021 recall on similar continental tires for sidewall failure. Discount tire reimbursed one tire. I complained to agent matthew harby that the other two tires were dangerous because they showed the same sidewall defect on the hot day. He denied my request for replacement if the remaining two continental tires because there was no open recall on these. I told I him I was worried about a catastrophic failure in normal operation. I then resumed driving. The weather cooled off and until October the two tires behaved normally again. . On 10/30 about 630pm I was dri ong on i10 and experienced catastrophic tire failure in the outside lane speed approx 65mph. I was fortunate to be able to pull over without losing control but the photo shows the extent of this serious failure. I am now at discount tire on ina road in tucson requesting replacement of the failed tire and the final remaining continental tire. The photos should show sufficient evidence of sidewall failure matching the failure mode of the recalled tires. These are dangerous and need NHTSA action with a universal recall before a fatal event occurs.

15 Tire problem

Failure Date: 03/12/2006

I am concerned about safety and wear of the run flat tires provided on my 2005 Toyota Sienna van. I have 12,000 miles on my tires and understand many complaints of needed replacement at 15,000 at a cost of approx. $345 per tire and availability of the tires is sparse. I was never told that the car was equipped with these tires and have no place for a spare if I wish to use a regular wearing tire. I think the car should be equipped with a place for a spare and tires recalled. I am taking a long trip and will have 15,000 miles on my car shortly. When I am away from home, I hear it can take weeks to locate a replacement run flat tire.

17 Tire problem

Failure Date: 01/15/2006

After only 19,000 miles of use, the run-flat tires on my Toyota Sienna have been worn away significantly to a dangerous level. The dealer has recommended only replacement with the same exact tire model, as no other tire brand or model may be used with this vehicle. At only 6,000 miles one tire had failed spontaneously without triggering the low-pressure warning system. I had been told by dealer the non-visible edge of tire (side facing toward the vehicle) had worn through the tread completely. That tire was replaced at my cost, assuming it was a unique and isolated incident. I see now that these tires are inadequate.

18 Tire problem

Failure Date: 12/05/2005

My 2005 Toyota Sienna le awd has just 7,000 miles on it. Recently took it to the dealership for a regular service and requested that they look at the tires as I was experiencing vibration when driving. Dealership said that all four tires needed to be replaced as soon as possible as there was cupping and uneven wear. They suggested that I caused this problem by driving on the tires under-inflated or by somehow not maintaining them. However, I am meticulous about maintaining my vehicle and I have not noticed at any time that the pressure was too low, and never at any time did the low tire pressure warning go off. Still haggling with dealership to determine whether they will pay to replace them, though I'm not sure replacing them will do much good in another 7,000 miles. No failures, injuries, or deaths to report,. . . Yet. With these poorly made, defective tires, it's only a matter of time.

19 Tire problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2005

I am filling out this complaint before one of my bridgstone run flat tires on my new Toyota Sienna fails. I am not happy with having to drive on these dangerous tires.

Failure Date: 09/07/2005

My 2005 Toyota Sienna has bridestone run flat tires. I noticed wear on my front tires at 15,741 miles and rotated my tires. I was noticing a noise from the front of my car and had the brakes checked, they were ok but my tires were not. Took vehicle to a bridgestone tire dealer and he said that the tires were shot with 17,600 miles. They are contacting the manufacturer to see if they will replace or adjust the tires. Is it safe to drive this car with these tires in this kind of condition? mike berg.
