1999 Toyota Sienna tires complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 28 of 28, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Left front tire is showing steel belts all around rubber. This causes steering to shake while driving. Tire looks like its been recapped. Had not taken to retailer. Firestone fr6680 p205/70r15 with 32,000 miles.
All 4 tires on vehicle have "bulges" on the exterior sidewalls, did not check interior sidewalls. The left side bulges are the worst, the front being the worst of all. The bulges are nearer to the tread than the center of tire. There are apprx 3 to 5 bulges around the perimeter of the tires. There is no noticible performance issues at this time, but having all tires like this makes me very nervous. I did have a sidewall failure a few months after I purchased the van, but I attributed it to a low speed bump into a low curb as I was making a right hand turn into a gas station. *ak (dot number: w2mof61019 tiresize: p205/70r15)
Consumer experienced a tire blow out (firestone o.e.), however was denied reimbursement from manufacturer because the tires he has are not included in the voluntary safety recall.
"low tire" indicator came on about 1/4 of a mile from home.tire was replaced with "spare" and upon inspection, found tire to be damaged along the seams or threads.all tires are showing "cracks"along the seams at different places on the tire.dealer said tire's guarantee is for 1 year by manufacturer or 36,00 miles in a three year period.I will replace tire at my expense since it seems,I don't have much of a choice.pls keep me informed of future complaints on this situation. *ak (dot number: w2vf tiresize: p215/65r15)

Front tires are unevenly worn without no alignment problem reported from dealer's service department.
We have had extensive pulling problems and excessive tire wear with our sienna from the 2nd month we have owned it. The tires are very worn out on the outer edges with only 18000 miles. We have had it into our dealer 5 times to fix the problem. We are aware after doing extensive research through the internet that many siennas on the road have this problem and toyota is aware of it, but continues to put people off. I live in the northwest where we have many rainy days and my vehicle is unstable in the rain, with alot of slippage in the tires. This a known problem with the sienna, as evidenced by our research through edmunds.com's town hall which is a forum for people with problem vehicles. Numerous people have reported excessive tire wear which is unsafe and a potential hazard. Thank you for taking my comments into consideration. I know I am only one person, but the I consider the safety of my children important enough to make my experiences heard. Thank you, laurie a. Shank.
The firestone tire on the vehicle experienced a blow out while driving.
Right front tire blewout while driving (firestone fr 680 p205/70r15), consumer request reibursement. Nlm
Sidewall of tire delaminated or separated.*ak (dot number: w2vf tiresize: p215/65r15)
At 65mph, tire sensor indicated problem. Upon removing the front left firestone affinity tire, found a 7.5" separation between the tread and the interior sidewall, with the steel belt in view. Further inspection revealed similar wear on front right tire. Normal pressures and alignment had been maintained through routine service. Local firestone dealer claims tire was not defective, despite toyota indications to that effect and similar experiences with other firestone tires. Although I have replaced all four tires, I have retained the defective tire to support investigation. Digital photos of the tire are also available. *ak (dot number: w2vfait099 tiresize: p215/65r15)
Tire blew out suddenly and shredded before we could stop. The tire was only 9 months old and had about 11,000 miles on it. No road hazards (like nails,etc) were found to have caused the blow out. (tiresize: 21565r15)( dot number: tire size: 21565r15 )
You guys are worthless!!!!!!!!!!!!!( dot number: tire size: p205/70r15 )
Firestone affinity (p215/65r15) tire blew out while driving. Nlm
Our front tires failed by blow out on the right side. Left side was just as bad but not blown out. Was paper thin on inside corners of tires. Had had rotated at 16000 miles and nothing was reported wrong. I know these tires are not the being recalled, and toyota has reimbursed us for a new set of goodyears; but the whole thing is too scary in light of what's going on now with firestones. Just wanted to let you know. Thanks...robert( dot number: tire size: p205/75r15 )
