I want to know why toyota is dragging their feet getting the spare tire bracket and cable corrected. I will not have my wife and daughter without a means to replace a flat tire when they are traveling. The fix is simple new mechanism with stainless steel cable and associated hardware. The offer to remove the tire and place that in the trunk is an insult as is not to carry it and call toyota if they have a flat. This recall has been in place for a very long time and something has to be done. Recall is 14v273000.

Toyota sienna recall for spare tire carrier moved the spare tire to the luggage compartment of vehicle. The tire was removed from the underside of the vehicle, placed in a bag, and placed in the luggage compartment. The tire was not secured by service and is free to vibrate, shake, and roll when turning. This was to be a temporary fix, with the permanent solution to be determined by toyota. It has been over 6 months from the release date of the recall and there is still no permanent solution, and there is no eta for a fix at this time, per the toyota customer service center. This issue needs to be resolved as it is limiting the available luggage compartment space, and the movement of the unsecured spare tire is distracting. What requirements are there for closing out action items on recalls and for completing "permanent" fixes?
While the vehicle was in motion, the spare tire dropped suddenly. Toyota knew about this corrosion problem back in april 20, 2010 with the federal safety agency campaign number 10v160000. In may 22, 2014, another interim campaign number 14v273000 was issued. Until today, nothing have been followed up to solve the issue. Toyota's customer service just told me that "until they found a permanent solution for this issue, just put the spare tire in the trunk". This type of shirking responsibilities and aloof attitude. The sudden dropped of the tire would have pose a very dangerous conditions to other vehicles if on a busy highway.
The tires do not last more than 18 months on this vehicle. The tire dealer will not warranty tires because it has obvious misalignment based on the tire wear. I had the alignment checked and it is all within factory specs. This is very frustrating. I get less than 20,000 miles on a set of tires that cost $600.

At first, I have the tire pressure indicator light continuing to lit up. Then one morning, the van was slow to response to shifting gear and acceleration. After stopping, it won't start and move into gear at all. There was no engine light being lit or warning sign. Towed to shore toyota at mays landing, nj. They told me that the transmission oil had all leaked out due to the burst of abrupt failure on the inlet to the radiator. They asked me to replace the radiator at a cost of $1,150.26! After repaired, they then told me that the transmission is bad and difficult to move into gear. They quoted another $3,780 to replace the transmission. I was furious. Since that the dealer told me that the van can be driven. I was prepared to trade it in and weighing my options. The van has 133,279 miles. I drove it ok initially, however, I experienced that it was difficult to accelerate twice. After 15 miles when I stopped at a traffic light, the van just stuck- it cannot move in any of the gears at all. I towed back home. After cooling down, it was able to drive again. The new transmission fluid smelled burnt. I am wondering why: ?why the engine light was not lit up at all when the coolant temperature was so high before spoiling the whole transmission? ?why was that not even any dtc codes stored on the obdii systems at all after all these defects? ?this seemed the same problem as the sticky transmission that other customers have been complaining about, yet toyota has not informing the customer of any actions need to be take. I have been receiving notices about the various recalls and the potential of monetary compensation, however, nothing has been realized yet. ?this seemed to be a very dangerous situations, if the van can be slowed down or stopped so drastically, the people in the vehicle could be bumped over.
Removed the run flat tires and replaced them with regular tires. I am constantly having the "tire balance" light go off in my car and getting flat tires. Ever since I switched the tires the alignment has always been issue.
Run-flat tire went flat without the warning light activation. When it activated, there was already a hole in the tire from running it flat. The second time this happened, which was one week later, there was a hole before the light came on. The tire pressure is checked regularly on this vehicle.
Spare tire underneath the van fell on road while driving while I was driving into a mall. Called toyota customer service at 18003314331 about this issue. Although toyota has acknowledged this problem and issued a warning, they refused to fix this issue. If this had happened on a highway, there could have been serious consequences.
I was driving in august and could hear something banging on the underside of my van, I would stop and it would go away because the tread would fall on road and then start a day later with more tread coming off. It was the tread coming off of my tires but didn't know that at the time and getting caught on the underside of my van. This went on for 2 weeks. My tire sensor never came on. I drove to ohio on I-75 october 21, 2012 and my front 2 tires blew out at the same time - br 001522 tires. A big slash in one tire a small hole in another. I pull over and see a lot of the tread is completely off of both tires. I get to a tire store and they said it look like the alignment caused the wear. I replaced all 4 tires and have the tire co put the 2 in my back van. I go to belle tire to get a refund for my tires with 29,000 miles on 65,000 wear tires. They said they would call bridgestone. Bridgestone denied my case for a refund. I got an alignment 11/14/2012 and it shows my alignment was ok a little off but would never have caused that kind of wear with tread just coming off both tires at the same time - they are defective tires. The white spikes were showing on both tires - the tread came off completely on both tires around the edges.
Failure of sidewalls of two bridgestone insignia se200 215/65r16 tires at 5693 miles of normal driving conditions on 2006 toyota sienna van-dot # ob6ve224711 located on tire sidewall. Tires sold by monro shop # 190 in christianburg, va. Same tire brand, model and size replaced at shop #349 in cheshire, ct at cost of road hazard coverage contract at cost of $87. 80 to cover all four tires. I am very concerned that the other two tires purchased at the same time with the same dot designations may also develop sidewall bulges and be the cause of a serious accident. Is there a manufacturing defect on this tire that should be looked into?

The tire has not been secured and is a security risk in hard braking for the passengers in the backseat with one seat folded down. Toyota refused to address the issue.

I had a failure of a goodyear integrity tire with only 29,000 miles it. It had uneven tread wear and the wire strands poking out from a broken steel belt. This tire was on the right rear position of my 2006 toyota sienna this defective tire caused my sienna to wobble violently with speeds above 35mph. This violent wobble also caused abnormal tread wear on the inside surface of all four tires on the vehicle. This tire was one of two goodyear integrity tires I purchased from fox river tire and supply on 5/10/08, when the vehicle mileage was 21,059 miles. These two tires were on the front axle until I purchased two more goodyear integrity tires at abe and doc? S service, inc. On 7/16/09 at a mileage of 35,247. At this time the subject tire was moved to right rear position. When the mileage on the 2006 sienna reached 50,793 the vehicle started wobbling violently over 35 MPH. The vehicle was taken to abe and doc? S service, inc. To diagnose the problem. I was told that improper wheel alignment had caused all the tires to wear on the inside surface and that wire strands were exposed on the right rear tire. I asked if the tire had a ?pro-rated ? Warranty and was told, no! It was suggested I purchase two new goodyear integrity tires at $165.00 each and a wheel alignment. Instead I took the sienna to st. Charles toyota for service, where I purchased two michelin tires and a wheel alignment. The toyota technician stated the alignment was good (receipt and computer alignment report attached). The toyota dealer advised us to report this defect to goodyear.
Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) I purchased four firestone fr710 tires on august 27, 2009 from a local firestone dealer for my 2006 toyota sienna. Recently we noticed that the front right tire's tread was delaminating all around the perimeter of the tire where the tread meets the sidewall. In some places there was 1/2" of separation. Upon closer inspection it was found that two of the other tires were also starting to separate. This was evident due to small hairline separations running around the perimeter of the tires in the same region as the worst tire. These tires were all made within a week of each other with date codes of 1909 and 2009 (19th and 20th week of 2009). The dot number is w56v710. The VIN of the vehicle is [xxx] . The mileage at purchase was 49,328 and the current mileage is 61,491. Photos of the tires are available.
