While driving, my spare tire fell from underneath my car due to the fact that the cables snapped. The car behind me ran over it and I am now being charged for the damages to that person's car.

On 11/25/2012 at about 10:00 pm, after driving on freeway for about 100 miles, the front wheel on driver side began to make a small noise and small vibration and later the tire warning light came on. I stopped by at a rest area and didn?t see any noticeable problem. Since it?s about 50 miles away from home, I decided to keep driving it and the noise and vibration continued. I checked the tire the next day and found it flattened. I fixed it with a tire repair plug, pump it and I found a bubble about 4-inch in diameter. I drove back to vineland toyota in vineland, nj on 12/7/2012 since the tire was only 18 months old and was still in warranty. After taking down the tire, I found, on the other side of the tire, there was another bubble in diameter 3-inch. I strongly believe there is a serious safety issue with this model of tires of good year. If I kept driving my vehicle for few more miles, the tire would explode and caused a serious accident!

Loose spare tire in cargo seating area of toyota sienna 1999 van. Due to a recall on the corrosion of the spare tire cable, the spare tire was removed and placed in the cargo area of the van. The tire is not secured down and moves around during driving. If there was any type of accident, especially a roll over, the tire with the rim would be able to move around the seating area and could cause severe injuries. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle. I did call toyota with my concern with the tire not being secured, they gave me a case number and told me that there was nothing they could do at this time.

I bought 4 michelin tires (p205/70r 15 x rad) for my minivan in june 2006. This month the steering wheel of my car started to shake violently at low speed. I brought my car to dealer. I was told that the two belts inside of the tires separated. I was recommended to replace these tires. These tires have a 80,000 mile warranty, but they only run less than 40,000 miles.

I had a flat tire and replaced the flat with a different manufacturer than the other 3 tires. Because there is 1/16th" difference in the tire depth the warning light will not stay out even after resetting it. Toyota says that as long as the tires are different the light will not stay out. I say I'm not the only one to ever have a flat tire and replace it with a different manufacturer's tire and there needs to be an adjustment made in the sensor. I didn't ask for this feature; it came with the car. If they're going to put something like this on their cars (and they are planning on putting it on all their new models) they need to have a way to adjust it. It also startles me when the light comes on because I think there's something wrong with the car.
