What owners say
Driving the vehicle at about 60mph, grinding sound, loss of power steering control, pulls to the right side, deceleration, loud noise like a tire blowout, vsc lights on dash come on. This has happened 4 times while driving the vehicle, no warning and you must pull over and turn the engine off and it will reset so you are able to start the vehicle to continue. Very scary incidents!!!
2002 toyota sequoia had a rear tire blow out causing the vehicle to lose control and drive off the road and hit a guardrail. *kb ohio traffic crash report # 10-0736-91
Left rear tire tread separation on dunlop grand trek at 21265/70/r16 on toyota sequoia 2002, while traveling at 65 MPH. I don't know exactly yet if the vehicle is total loss or if can be repaired because as consequence of tread separation the vehicle lost control and crashed into the concrete wall and is badly damage. My daughter and I were injured, but not too bad but. In addition the air bags did not come out after the impact. I am looking for some legal advise to see if dunlop company will honor my loss and toyota company. I bought this SUV as "certified use vehicle" and the expiration date will be on 2008.
