general problems of the 2011 Toyota Sienna

About two weeks after getting all new tires installed at costco, the driver side rear tire blew out. I was driving about 50 mph on a dry road with no debris in sight. The blowout gash was in the middle of the tire, not on the sidewall.

This is for a Sienna 2011 with awd that I purchased new in oct 2010. At approximately 27,000 miles, Toyota dealer recommends replacement of run flat tires with bridgestone turanza run flats. At 45,000 miles, same dealer recommends replacement of tires again. They now recommend a non run flat tire. This will be third set of tires for this vehicle that is 3 yrs old and has been serviced by Toyota every 5,000 miles. There appears to be a problem with excessive wear of run flat tires on this vehicle. Toyota should be held accountable for this issue and replace these tires.

My Sienna falls under the current recall for unsafe tires for Siennas used for towing, but the dealer refuses to provide the extra load tires because my hitch was installed aftermarket. I purchased the vehicle with the towing package, however I was advised by the dealer to get the hitch installed elsewhere to save time and money. Regardless of that fact, I fail to see how where the hitch was installed makes the tires safe vs. Unsafe. Toyota is clearly hiding behind an arbitrary policy. I use the vehicle for towing. One tire is beginning to show signs of early failure. Toyota needs to provide the extra load tires ASAP. This is a serious safety concern. Toyota needs to comply with the recall.

I purchased a 2011 awd limited Sienna and within 4,000 miles of me owning it (bought certified preowned from Toyota) I failed inspection for tires. I replaced all 4 tires (by Toyota) and they put run flat bridgestone's on. Again. . . About 15,000 miles later, I am again running on tires that are needing to be replaced for irregular wear. Told my mechanic that the tires are not safe. Toyota said there are no issues with the vehicle (suspension and alignment are perfect). So what is the problem? I am driving 3 small children in this vehicle and this is a safety concern!.

Tire wear too soon.

I have a 2011 Toyota Sienna that I purchased new in November 2010. It came with firestone fr710 p235/60r17 tires. I have 29900 miles on the van and the tires already need to be replaced. The outer tread is gone. The tires are so bad that I nearly had a wreck during a recent rain after hydroplaning across a lane of oncoming traffic. The tires have been rotated approx every 5000 miles with the Toyota 24 month auto care plan. I called Toyota who referred me to firestone with "good luck" (apparently they have not had much success in dealing with firestone on this type of issue). I called firestone and the representative informed me that even though these tires are typically advertised with a 65,000 mile warranty, because they are "original equipment tires," there is no warranty. I was also told that because these are "original equipment tires" they are only expected to perform 20000-30000 miles before needing replacement. I have never had a new vehicle that needed the tires replaced after 30000 miles. The firestone representative did offer a 25% discount on new tires, however I am a little hesitant at buying another set of firestone tires because I do not feel like they are standing beside the quality of their product. I also do not think they should need to be replaced this soon. Why should one tire be expected to last 65000 miles and the same tire, just because it came on the vehicle, only be expected to last 20000-30000 miles? I feel like it was his way of brushing off my concern about the quality of these tires.

We purchased this vehicle in February 2011. It came with free Toyota maintenance for the first 2 years and has been brought in for every scheduled maintenance, most recently the 25,000 mile service at 26,000, so the tires have regularly been rotated and inspected by the dealership. Two years and less than 27,000 miles after purchasing the vehicle, I noticed that it was not handling well in snow despite being an awd. To our surprise, the tires were worn. I brought it to a tire shop hoping for just an alignment and were told the tires were not safe to drive on. Therefore, I just had to replace all 4 tires ahead of schedule. Very dangerous as most people don't even consider the need for new tires at this point in their vehicle ownership. And even more dangerous as coming up with the $1,000 every two years is/will be difficult if not impossible. The replacement tires are the same as due to the unique tire size, there are no other run flat options on the market, bridgestone turanza el400-02 rft .

Told during my service at 15000k by Toyota technician that I would need to replace all 4 tires on my 2011 Toyota Sienna. I asked how was it possible a brand new leased vehicle with 15000k miles would need new tires and I was told that I could make it to 20000k but need new ones. The technician could not tell me why the tires were failing. After researching this issue and speaking with other Toyota Sienna owners it appears to be a big problem with the tires placed on Sienna minivans. It also appears that Toyota is blaming the tire company and the tire company is blaming Toyota. Of course the poor consumer gets stuck in the middle. A recall should be done as soon as possible as tire safety is very important.

We were infomed by Toyota service that the tires are balding and need replacement. They informed us that this is a tire issue. We contacted firestone, and they informed us that there are issues with the Sienna prematurely wearing out tires due to alignment issues with the design of the Sienna. Firestone agreed to pay for half the cost of new tires. Toyota on the hand has given us the run around and is not taking ownership. We have found that through blogs there are customers that are replacing tires after less than a year of use (<15k miles). We have the entire thread of conversations and maintenance records that show that there is a problem with the design and manufacture of the vechicle's alignment as verified by Toyota service and other repair shops. This is the 5th new car we have owned, and tires last at least 40k miles. Toyota should own up to this and inform customers that they will need to replace tires every 15k miles!.

Told by Toyota dealer at 15000k that I needed to replace the tires on my 2011 Toyota Sienna van. I do not abuse my vehicle and never had a new vehicle that needed new tires at 15000k.

I bought a 2011 Toyota siena xle with bridgestone p35/55rf18 tires. They are the original tires and have been rotated according to schedule. After 25,000 miles, they are bald. I noticed slipping and tire failure, then inspected them. The front tires look like racing slicks with no remaining tread.
