The left front tire ( new tire, I punched 4 new michelin tires 7/11) on my car popped. I am not sure if the car pedal got stuck first, everything happened fast. Steering became impossible and the car when side to side as I attempted to steer the car. The stewing wheel would turn, but it didn't work. The major thing is that I couldn't operate the car because of the pedal getting stuck and the steering was impossible after that. The car was taken to carriage cage auto repair by aaa, who recommended I take it there, since the car could not be driven. I then went to the er room for care. Nationwide insurance was notified, they gave an estimate of over five thousand dollars to repair the car. Toyota in lake city, wa -bruce in auto care was notified regarding the pedal becoming stuck. I will have to take the car there once it is repaired. I wonder how safe is the car and what can be done about it.

My wife unknowingly drove on a flat tire. After I collected her and the car, I took the tire to sears and they said the valve stem failed. The tire was replace but I had to pay for it. Months later, she had a nail in a tire so I took the car back to sears. They patched it, and a week or so later it was flat again. When I took it in, I noticed another tire was flat and that had a bad valve stem. So, now 3 of the original valve stems had been replaced. Last night, she had another flat tire, I changed it, and it was the remaining valve stem. I bought the tires at sears and complained after the second valve stem that there was a problem. The manager said that my wife must be driving up on curbs. I checked the dates and the tires were installed right in the middle of the recall period. Sears is not handling this problem well--they are putting people on the road with defective valve stems. I did not know officially that there was a documented problem until I returned from sears this morning and did some checking on the internet.

To whom it may concern: I bought a 2004 toyota camry from a toyota dealer, green brook, nj on june 2004. It came with goodyear 205/r60/15 tires. I only drove mainly on city roads and the mileage is only 20,500 miles. I rotated four tires once in the past two years. I, however, am shocked to find that the tire treads in radial direction (across from the center tread to the outer rim) of all four tires were totally gone today when I visited a car shop for oil change. I have been experiencing car sliding on wet road since I bought the car but I did not know what the cause is. The technician in the car pointed out the tread problem to me that the car sliding problem is because the worn-out outer tread could not expel water out from the inner center tread. He warned me the serious safety issue on driving such worn-out tires on a watery or iced road surface. I checked your product information that states the tire warranty is 80,000 miles. How could this worn-out tread problem happen when the mileage only reaches a quarter of the warranty. I have checked the internet that there have been many complaints on this issue specified to the toyota camry 2004. Toyota shall address this issue and make a recall or compensation in response to this safety concern.

My wife was driving our 04' camry limited edition with michelin p235/45/18 mxm4 factory installed tires at 70 miles an hour one tire blew out. The company was sent an e-mail outlining the incident. They ask us to bring the tire in to be checked. After examination we were told the failure was due to a small puncture the size of a tooth pick in the center of the tire. The rip in the tire where it blew was about 8" long and was right at the area of where the belt meets the side wall. The event caused my wife to become extremely upset. We have ordered 4 new tires from costco because my wife does not believe the company's findings. Upon further examination by me I noticed the inside of the tire rubber was extremely damaged only on one side that blew in a circle where the belt joins the side wall. The opposite side was in pristine condition. We have our cars dealer serviced routinely. The new tires have cost us more than $1000.00 for 4 new tires. We do not accept the company's findings and wish to go on the record regarding this tire failure incident. The vehicle is still parked awaiting the delivery of the new tires which are not stocked any where locally.
