| Problem Category | Number of Problems |
|---|---|
| Wheel problems | |
| Wheel Rim problems |
Rims collect water and freeze on wheel causing wheels to be out of balance. This makes the vehicle vibrate excesivly beginning at about 35 mph. I have contacted Toyota many times over the past 3 years without any satisfaction. In fact, they have not even acknowledged my complaint! I have even demonstrated this problem to valley Toyota and they have acknowledged that the problem exists. They have contacted the field rep. --kelly deeds--who refused to do anything about it. I would apreciate any help or suggestions you might give me in rectifying this problem. I believe this is truely a safety hazzard on ice or compacted snow which exists in northern minnesota about 6 months of the year. Thank you for any help you can give.
When it rains or snows and the snow melts, ice will build up around the vehicle's rims and cover the wheels, and water will get into the wheels and freeze around the wheel rims.
