2005 Toyota 4RUNNER tires complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 12 of 12, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I had just begun acceleration from a stop sign when I heard a noise and the 4runner became loose on the back left. It was making a noise like I had never heard before. I was able to pull to the side of the road after about 100 yards. On inspection, the sidewall had blown in a straight line from about 2 inches from the rim toward the tread creating a nearly straight gash that I could stick my entire hand into. I took the vehicle to gosch toyota (the dealer who sold me the vehicle 8 months ago). They said they do not take care of warranty issues with tires. I took the vehicle to america's tire and they attempted to contact bridegestone for warranty authorization. Bridgestone was not open. The service manager agreed to try to call them on wednesday.
