Tire pressure warning system on my 2005 sienna awd (13,000 miles) turned on. Checked pressure in all tires, left rear was below 15 psi, all others were 25 psi (recommended pressure is nte 51 psi). Filled tire to specification tire pressure and light rescinded. Within 5 days, light reappeared with same procedures and results. Took to the dealer. Dealer replaced single tire indicating a nail was found. Within 30 miles, the replacement tire deflated (dunlop, oem run flat tires) on freeway. No tire pressure warning system light illuminated. Air pressure was checked and did not register any pressure, assume 0 psi. Triggered to check tire pressure after hearing a loud popping sound. Tire pressure warning system is not operating as expected and dealer indicates there is nothing wrong and "that's just how the system works". Remaining dunlop oem run flat tires do not retain pressure greater than 25 psi. Dealer says they retain pressure when monitored there. But within 5 days, pressure returns to 25 psi.

Consumer requesting reimbursement for 2005 toyota sienna for low tire pressure and rear door shock failure. *kb the rear wiper didn't work, the blower motor and damper had to be replaced, the rear heat did not work. The low pressure light did not warn the consumer that the tire pressure had dropped.
Catastrophic tire failure on a toyota sienna awd van with run flat tires. Fortunately, no major injuries or damage this time. The tire pressure monitoring system failed to sense the lack of pressure in one of the tires. Driving on the tire with no air pressure caused catastrophic tire failure. I was told by the toyota dealer the tire pressure monitoring did not malfunction, it simply does not work. It cannot be fixed since toyota says there is nothing wrong.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving road debris was ran over causing a flat tire. The tire pressure senor did not indicator there was a flat tire. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was determined the tire was unable to be repaired due to the damage. The manufacturer was not alerted.
2005 sienna awd. Had a flat tire for a couple of days but did not notice it (only drove in town, not interstate speeds). The warning light appeared but disappeared, and then it was intermittent (it looked like it would turn on only after some driving.) luckily this did not damage the tires, but I wonder what would have happen if I were on the interstate in the middle of nowhere and experienced the same problem (no warning light). I see that a recall may be in progress.
In reference to my 2005 toyota sienna le awd minivan, equipped with dunlop run flat tires. I am scheduled to replace all four of my tires tomorrow as a few weeks ago I was told by the dealership when I brought it in that the tires showed excessive wear and needed replacing. I believe the tires should be investigated as they are failing after short periods of time. One yr(19,000 miles). They have extreme wear and my van steering wheel shakes excessively over 55 MPH (the reason I brought it to the dealership in the first place).making me very nervous to drive it until the tires can be replaced(at over $250 a tire). There are other consumer complaints of extreme wear and tires blowing out as well as steel belts showing and premature tread wear. This van was a top choice for safety for my husband and I as we have three children. However, if the tires aren't safe and they blow it really doesn't matter how safe the van is, I am sure I would end up crashing. As well as my last insurance bill increasing due to excessive claims on this type of vehicle. I can't state for sure but could probably assume that others are having problems, and getting in accidents due to the tires, that could be probably have been avoided.
Consumer passenger side rear tire deflated while driving. There were no warning lights, dealer informed consumer that there would be a warning light shown if pressure dropped to 5%. *ts the warning light didn't illuminate to let the consumer know the tire had went flat. The consumer was informed the sensor was tied into the ABS.
I am concerned about safety and wear of the run flat tires provided on my 2005 toyota sienna van. I have 12,000 miles on my tires and understand many complaints of needed replacement at 15,000 at a cost of approx. $345 per tire and availability of the tires is sparse. I was never told that the car was equipped with these tires and have no place for a spare if I wish to use a regular wearing tire. I think the car should be equipped with a place for a spare and tires recalled. I am taking a long trip and will have 15,000 miles on my car shortly. When I am away from home, I hear it can take weeks to locate a replacement run flat tire.
I have a 2005 sienna xle awd, and the tires failed at 20,016 miles (the tread was completely gone on the interior side of the two front tires). I had the tires rotated at 4,472 miles and 11,048. However, all 4 tires show excessive wear for this amount of mileage! The tires are factory-issued dunlop run-flats.
I have a 2005 toyota sienna awd that is equipped with bridgestone run-flat tires. I was given no spare tire with my vehicle. I was traveling with my family on october 14 2005 on interstate 5 in ca. At 4 am when my tire went flat at 70 MPH. The low tire pressure warning system failed to notify my wife who was driving that the tire had lost air pressure. She continued to drive until the tire started to disintegrate and she felt the vehicle start to pull to the right. There we were stuck in the middle of nowhere with a destroyed tire and no spare. I was forced to have my van towed to bakersfield ca. And have the tire replaced with a standard tire since the run-flats are impossible to find. Toyota refuses to compensate me in any way for this irresponsible design they have on their awd siennas. I don't want these unsafe tires on my van and I want a spare. I paid $40,000 for this van and should have been given a spare tire. I was LED to believe that these garbage tires would take the place of a spare which they obviously do not!
After only 19,000 miles of use, the run-flat tires on my toyota sienna have been worn away significantly to a dangerous level. The dealer has recommended only replacement with the same exact tire model, as no other tire brand or model may be used with this vehicle. At only 6,000 miles one tire had failed spontaneously without triggering the low-pressure warning system. I had been told by dealer the non-visible edge of tire (side facing toward the vehicle) had worn through the tread completely. That tire was replaced at my cost, assuming it was a unique and isolated incident. I see now that these tires are inadequate.
Extremely rapid tire wear on dunlop run flat tires that were original equipment on a 2005 toyota sienna awd van. The tires have been rotated several times. At less than 17,000 miles at least one is down to the wear markers. The others are not far behind. I have discovered that this is ongoing issue for nearly all owners of these awd vans. These are very expensive top of the line tires. Now a days 40,000 + miles is the norm! I can't believe that a $33,000+ vehicle is sold legally with such inferior equipment tires!.
My 2005 toyota sienna le awd has just 7,000 miles on it. Recently took it to the dealership for a regular service and requested that they look at the tires as I was experiencing vibration when driving. Dealership said that all four tires needed to be replaced as soon as possible as there was cupping and uneven wear. They suggested that I caused this problem by driving on the tires under-inflated or by somehow not maintaining them. However, I am meticulous about maintaining my vehicle and I have not noticed at any time that the pressure was too low, and never at any time did the low tire pressure warning go off. Still haggling with dealership to determine whether they will pay to replace them, though I'm not sure replacing them will do much good in another 7,000 miles. No failures, injuries, or deaths to report,... Yet. With these poorly made, defective tires, it's only a matter of time.
I am filling out this complaint before one of my bridgstone run flat tires on my new toyota sienna fails. I am not happy with having to drive on these dangerous tires. Nor am I happy with the alternatives to replace them. These 2 reputable companies are not taking responsibility for these extremely costly and potentially dangerous tires.
The problem occurred with a 2005 toyota sienna that I have owned for approximately one year. At 24,000 miles on the car (mostly highway driving) the front 2 tires were completely bald and the rear tires had almost no tread left on them. The cost for replacement tires was approximately $900 which included a $100 credit per tire from dunlop. I refused to put those tires on my car again since I have three small children and can neither afford the cost or the risk to their safety with inadequate tires. Dunlop will also not provide any sort of warranty on their new tires. The cost of new tires (non-runflat) was approximately $450. In addition to the four new tires we also had to obtain a spare tire and wheel and purchase a new jack. There is now a loose tire sitting in the back of our van that can be a safety hazard if we are ever unfortunate enough to be in a severe accident.
Run flat tires on toyota sienna nearly bald after only 15,000 miles.
Got a nail in a run flat tire on my 2005 awd sienna van. Took it to the dealer for repair or replacement under warranty. Dealer told me that it was not covered under warranty because the nail was in the sidewall and then offered to sell me 4 new run flat tires for my 3 month old van for $1300. Had four regular tires put on the van and also bought a new wheel for a spare since the awd van does not come with a spare tire (bridgestone).
Dunlop run flat tires wear excessively and need to be replaced after only 14,000 miles or less and present a safety issue.
Dt: found out on september 16, 2005 that the tires were extremely worn.out. Took the vehicle to the dealer for an oil change and the mechanic had the consumer come out and look at the tires, and said the tires must be replaced. The indication for the tires never gave any notice that the inflation was not proper. There was no vibration, or abnormal bulging and this vehicle is serviced regularly at the toyota dealer. These are bridgestone ran flat tires, they have premature wear, had replace all four tires. Had maintained the tires according to the toyota maintence plan. They did not want to replace the tires because they could not issue a tire warranty. Consumer wanted states that the mechanic's recommendation that all four tires be replaced. There was wear on the inside of the tires and iwasnot visible from outside. Consumer wanted to believe that toyota was going to help him, but it was at his expense.
I own a 2005 toyota sienna awd. At 7500 miles the front tires had excessive wear, now with 9000 miles the dealer is recommending me to change all 4 tires. Currently I am negotiating with toyota to pay for the tire replacement. They have offered little assurance to help and no commitment for future problems. I know this is a major problem with many awd toyota owners. Toyota needs to be held accountable/responsible.
Truth in toyota sticker about mpg on their cars.
I have a 2005 toyota sienna xle awd which is equipped with dunlop run-flat tires. This car was used for one year and had mileage of 17,800 when we noticed that all four tires had the tread barrier exposed. It was exposed only on the outside and inside edges of the tires. The car was handling extremely strangely and was starting to wander on turns. This weekend changing lanes the car started to wander into an on-coming traffic lane when changing to the left lane of a four lane road. I contacted toyota only to be told that there was no mileage guarantee on the tires and they were $250/piece to replace. When told that they nearly caused head on accident they quickly offered to replace two of them free and then I could repair the others. They still would not guarantee the tires for any future mileage. I have since gone on the web to find that these tires have been reported by a huge number of the owners to have a similar problem. I do not think we should have an accident to find out that a tire has an identified safety problem. These tires do not wear correctly, they wear much too fast, and the toyota service rep at my dealership told me that we should run the tires at a higher than recommended tire pressure to help. The federal safety agency should get involved in this matter before others are harmed or killed.
My 2005 toyota sienna has bridestone run flat tires. I noticed wear on my front tires at 15,741 miles and rotated my tires. I was noticing a noise from the front of my car and had the brakes checked, they were ok but my tires were not. Took vehicle to a bridgestone tire dealer and he said that the tires were shot with 17,600 miles. They are contacting the manufacturer to see if they will replace or adjust the tires. Is it safe to drive this car with these tires in this kind of condition? Mike berg.
Toyota sienna developed problems with the runflat tire equipment.*mr a few days after purchasing the vehicle, the consumer discovered the vehicle did not have a spare tire. The owners manual lead the consumer to believe that the run flat tires could be repaired or replaced at any tire dealer in the us. The consumer went to a tire shop to have the tires rotated, however he was told if the tire became flat it would cost $250.00 for a new tire and the tire(s) could not be repaired. The consumer went to the dealer and was told the same information, in addition if one of the tires had over 15,000 miles all 4 tires would have to be replaced. The consumer contacted toyota and was told the vehicle was designed for run flat tires and there was no place for a spare tire. The consumer requested that the runflat tires be replaced with regular tires.
Dt: had a new 2005 toyota sienna with 3,000 miles on the vehicle that had run flat tires, and the back right passenger tire that went flat. Then smoked and reached a flash point and caught fire. Was driving on highway at a speed of about 60 MPH and noticed a jumpiness in the vehicle. Drove this way for an unknown distance. Pulled to side of the road, noticed a lot smoke coming from the tire and immediately removed family from vehicle. Called 911, and aaa. A passerby who worked for the forestry division called fire department as well. Two passerbys used 2 full fire extinguishers and put out fire, fire department came after and watered down tire as well. Towed to a dealer, dealer did not know why tire went into flames. Dealer did not offer no explanation. Contacted toyota suggested that when the tire went flat along with hot temperatures, hot pavement, and gases within the tire could have cobusted and caused the fire. Toyota did replace the tire. The ti bridgestone, brand b380 run flats, unsure of tire size at this time.
2005 toyota sienna concerns with the run flat tire equipment and no spare tires. *mr when the tire goes flat or when the pressure was below 15 psi, the tires must be replaced. *sc
2005 toyota sienna limited minivan. Came with runflat tires (no option) and tire pressure measuring system. Problem is that even with complete flat (0 psi) the system is not informing the driver. Since the tires are run flat they look no different and my wife is driving around at highway speeds with a dangerous tire and no way to know it. Toyotas response is to check tire pressure regularly. Well that's fine, but still if you get a flat and drive all the way home on the interstate at 65+ MPH it's not within the ratings on the tire which says specifically not to run the runflat tires over 55mph. On top of that we have one tire almost worn out already due to running low on pressure. Multiple complaints like this are noted on internet web sites - toyota needs to issue a recall and fix this problem as many of us with young children bought this vehicle in large part for safety reasons and it is not safe! The tire pressure system is defective, and does not work at all. Toyota is unwilling to fix it and so help me if anything ever happens I'll see them in court.
