Tire pressure monitoring system is not working and toyota has made up various excuses as to why the light does not go off during a flat or "blow out" or that it is working properly. Recently I was extremely nervous during driving and found after pulling off and stopping at a honda dealership that I had an undriveable tire. Honda was not sure why the light did not go on but said it was unsafe to drive and would not hold air so I could not get to toyota. Beside the 9 tires I have replaced the latest tire cost me a rim also. I am assuming that this was due to the flat that I did not know that I had. Something needs to be done about the run flats and especially the tire pressure monitoring system before someone is killed or severely injured. Please do something about this very serious problem.
Spare tire failure. Tt
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 toyota sienna with dunlop run flat tires, size 225/60/17, dot number 3t6r2508. The contact was driving 55 MPH when the front and rear passenger tires blew. The contact stated that there were abnormal bubbles in the tires. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who advised that all of the tires needed replacing. The tires were replaced. The current and failure mileage was 48,000.
Tire does not hold air over time.
2004 toyota sienna, hydroplaned and spun around traveled off the left side of the roadway and struck the concrete wall. The vehicle then traveled back across the roadway and came to rest on the north berm. Bf according to the police report, the front tires were in excellent condition, but the rear tires had very low tread. (ohio traffic report # 10-0588-90)
I purchased a 2004 sienna brand new in 2004. Toyota engineered the 2004 toyota sienna w/ dunlop run flat tires. As such they designed no space for a spare or a jack. Including 4 tires that were replaced as part of a recall I have replaced a total of 13 tires in 6 years. These tires cost almost $300 to replace. The low tire pressure warning light has never lit up, toyota tested it and stated it works but have no idea why it does not light up when the tire goes flat. Toyota takes no responsibility for their design choice in any way. I have requested everything from partial reimbursement to a full set of regular tires with a spare and a jack. All requests have been refused.

The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where unknown repairs were made to the vehicle. The failure did not recur. The failure mileage was 41,000 and the current mileage was 97,000.
On november 30, 2009, I got a flat tire, and called aaa to put on the spare. When they arrived and looked under my car, they discovered that I no longer had a spare tire! It had apparently fallen off at some point previously. I think it may have fallen off in late september of 2009, as I did notice something bumping around under the car on a trip on the highway.
While driving my 2004 toyota sienna minivan, the cable which held the spare tire under the car snapped and the spare tire fell off the vehicle.
2004 toyota sienna equipped with TPMS does not function. I had a flat tire, but the light didn't go off. Cannot rely on this monitoring system.
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 toyota sienna. The TPMS does not alert him when the tires have low pressure or if they are about to fail. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection. The technician could not duplicate the failure,therefore they could not provide a remedy. The manufacturer was notified, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 60,000. The current mileage was 69,000. Updated 10/23/09 *cn the consumer stated the tire pressure warning system did not alert them that there was a tire failure. The tire shredded while driving 65 MPH. The second occurrence, the consumer ran over an object in the road, and once again the tire pressure system didn't detect a failure. Updated 10/27/09.
Tl*the contact owns a 2004 toyota sienna. The contact stated that the spare tire unexpectedly fell off of the vehicle while driving 10 MPH. The tire had never been used. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection, but they did not explain the reason behind the failure. The failure mileage was 94,000.
2 flat tires within a year on a 2004 toyota sienna (tires replaced 2007). Both occasions had a bad valve stem. Both occasions the flat tire warning light came on indicating a flat, replaced valve stems on both occasions. Have since replaced tires due to concern of faulty valve stems.
"clunking" noise noted on steering the 2004 toyota sienna just a few months after it was bought. It had gone through 3 recalls already when first the fuel tank, then the door sills, then the middle row seatbelt bezel, and finally recently, the rear hatch struts were all replaced. Vehicle was test driven, but no mention of "clunking" documented. However, all this time, the clunking had become more noticeable, and vehicle had gone through 2 alignments already, with only about 42,000 miles on it. Last serviced for alignment, dealer did note clunking and recommended replacement of intermediate steering shaft. It is now becoming more difficult to steer the vehicle, especially at low speeds, and "k-turns" now require more maneuvers, and the steering radius has increased potentially causing collisions with objects or pedestrians if compensatory action is not initiated. (steering output has sometimes been unpredictable). Second component is lack of TPMS sensors when tires were changed at a facility, and I had the facility document the lack of sensors.
Tpms on 2004-2006 toyota sienna awd models does not monitor low tire pressure properly. It only works when the tire goes to zero psi.
From the time we purchased the car we have had many problems with our bridgestone run flat tires. The sensor on the dashboard was constantly on, so we had to check the tire pressure every week- what a pain! The dealer was no help, they agreed that they have had many problems with the tires. We finally decided to replace them with standard tires and I drive without a spare. I figure I'll call aaa if I have a problem.
My wife has brand new firestone firehawk st tires put on her toyota sienna van on april 15 2008 and on may 2, 2008 while driving down the interstate her tire came apart. The tread separated from the sidewalls (which were still on the rim) and went flying off still completely round . Luckily it was a rear tire and she was able to control her vehicle and bring it to a safe stop. The tires were installed at the toyota dealership and they replaced all four tires because we didn't feel safe with this brand. We did have to replace the rim on the blown tire as it became bent sometime during the ordeal.
Dunlop run flat tires wear, repairs and replacement.
Had to replace complete set twice of run flat tires on vehicle within three years of new purchase although have under 30,000.
Toyota pre-2007 TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system) design flaw. It only works when you "suddenly lose pressure" while vehicle is moving above 20 MPH. It does not detect tire pressure loss any other time, even if one tire is at zero psi and you start driving, or if you hit a nail at a red light and tire pressure went to zero before the light turned green when you start moving again. Compounded with run-flat tires, the driver may never know they have a flat until the tire explodes.
Tire pressure monitoring system does not work. Three times in the last 2 years I found zero tire pressure in one of the tires on our 2004 toyota sienna xle awd and the tire pressure monitoring system gave absolutely no warning. Reporting it to 2 different toyota dealers, they said nothing is wrong.
Tl*the contact owns a 2004 toyota sienna. While driving 70 MPH, the passenger side rear tire blew out. The following day, the front driver side tire cracked. The road conditions were dry. There was no crash or property damage. The tires were dunlop, size p215/65r16. The current and failure mileages were 35,000.
Toyota sienna (2004) run flat tires. Replaced in april 2006 under the class action law suit. Worn again prematurely. Last tire rotation the front tires were worn bad, the back ones were fine. Now, one month later, the front tires (which used to be on the back last month) are now worn. When the tires were replaced, I was told that they were re-engineered and there is to be no worry. I have checked the air pressure more than the recommended amount of every other gas fill up and they have held the air. Is it the tires or the car? Toyota says they will not replace again. It was only 15,500 miles now all 4 will need to be replaced. I don't understand the problem if they are holding the pressure and that is what the dealer and toyota tell me is that I must keep the pressure at 35, it is!
2004 sienna, had to replace brake pads twice. Brought vehicle in for 30,000 mile check, and was told that they were again 75% worn out and need to be replaced for the third time. Also, had to replace all four tires at 18,000 miles.
Sienna 2004 awd, pulling to the right, unreliable run-flat tires- needs replacement almost every 12,000 miles. I just had it replace last year 2006 as sponsored by toyota because they said original tires were defective. Now I am having problems, grinding noise while turning right, and was informed that all the tires need to be replaced after at approximately 12,000 miles , odometer showed approx 25,000 miles, because of uneven wear mostly left front outside part of the tire. Dealer said because I have been running on low pressure and was probably making a lot of right turns. If I make a right turn I would make an equal amount of left turns. The van was equipped with low presure monitoring sensor, one of the reasons I purchased it which did not go off. *ak toyota refuses to help with all the tire problem and dealer is playing dumb to the issue.
5 days after paying harr toyota of worcester 2000.00 for a 60,000 mile check up, brakes and my third set of run flat tires. I experienced a blow out on the highway which was caused by improper installation of the tire. This was noted by toyota of nashua who then replaced the tire which again blew out 60 miles down the highway. This is the third set of tires I have had with 56,000 miles on the car. Not including the two I had to replace due to inferior work. This is insane and very dangerous. My family's lives were endangered twice in one day! Every toyota mechanic I spoke to complained about the tires. After getting no satisfaction from either dealership I wrote a lettter to yuki funo the ceo of toyota who kindly sent the letter back to harr who has still done nothing! Unbelievable that they are allowed to sell such an inferior product at such a high price that is not only expensive but dangerous!!! Also unbelievable that a ceo of a company is aware he is endagering people's lives and does nothing about it.
3 sets of run flat tires replaced on 2004 toyota sienna in less than 36,000 miles due to out-of-round condition.
