2007 Toyota Corolla tires complaints

Filed Aug 18, 2007 · Tires · FL

On 5/30/07 I leased a 2007 toyota corolla, it came equipped with goodyear integrity tires p185/65r15 . On 7/21/07 I went to the dealer & told them I was having a problem with the air retention in the tires. It had become necessary with this car & these goodyear integrity tires to check the tires weekly & add air at that same time. I also strongly felt that there was a problem either with the tires or the valve stems & asked that they check them. They checked the tires & informed me that everything was fine, mileage at that time was 503 miles. Since I continue to feel unsafe with these tires every time I go out I check the tires & put the required air in. On 8/17/07 I contacted goodyear & explained in detail the serious problem with these tires or their manufacture gave me a case number 918405 & sent me to the nearest goodyear store to have the tires & valve stems checked. The service person at the store told me everything was fine with the tires & asked what type of a tire gauge I was using & sometimes they are not accurate. At 67 yrs of age I know how to check tire pressure & I can also tell by the way the car drives, handles, & stops that the tires are not at the recommended air pressure. I don't do a lot of driving (mileage now 956) but when I go back to work I want to feel safe while driving. I am terrified when I drive this car since I feel it has extreme safety issues where these tires are concerned & I do not want to become a statistic nor do I want to kill someone. I am getting nowhere with the toyota dealer or goodyear the "old boy's club" stick together. There is a serious safety issue with these tires & it needs to be addressed either by the toyota company, dealer or goodyear before someone gets killed.
