I contacted the firestone organization to possibly have the tire replaced because I had apprehensions about the tires, and they refused to replace them. The car was brand new and I felt the tires should have been replaced at no cost to me.*ak (tiresize: 175/50r)( dot number: tire size: 175/50r )
2000 Toyota 4RUNNER tires complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 16 of 16, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While travelin gon highway at 30 MPH heard a noise. Pulled over to the shoulders, and noticed that right rear tire tread had separated.
Model, size and dot # da72c44 while driving 35 MPH left front tire had a blowout, original equipment on a 2000, toyota, 4 runner. *ak the customer lost control of the vehicle when the tire blew up, and the driver side air bag failed to deploy.
While driving, consumer heard a loud pop, consumer stated there was a puncture between treads of the firestone wilderness at tire p225/75r15 dot w2hh and that tire was repairable.
When I bought this vehicle, I did not want firestone tires on the vehicle, but the dealer said the truck tires were fine. (I had had a firststone tire come apart on my 98 corolla on the highway which put my son in the ditch with some 250 dollars worth of damage to the car. ) the latest incident was the 4 runner firestone at11 lost air rapidly on the highway with my son but he was able to slow down quickly before it flattened completely.. The tire dealer said it was a punture in the side wall but I do not believe it. This tire had less than 06000 miles on it. I am going to change out the this set of tires and spend 400 dollars for my son's safety. (I took the firestone tires of the corolla at 3000 miles because of the incident). Its sad but their tires are inferior and anyone who drives on them are at risk. *ak( dot number: tire size: 225x75x15 )
The tire has not actually failed. The tire showed irregular wear after a trip of 2500 miles. The tire was moved to the rear and is presently making a humming noise. I will procede to firestone this week to have it checked out.*ak( dot number: tire size: 205/15 )
