TOYO UNKNOWN TIRES Complaints

WE HAVE LEASED A 2008 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER FOR 22 MONTHS. THE TOYO A 20 TIRES ARE SO WORN WITH NORMAL DRIVING THEY WILL NOT PASS STATE INSPECTION. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS APPEAR ONLINE REGARDING THIS MATTER. NO ONE WANTS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS MATTER. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT WITH TIRE OR CAR. *TR

KNOWN DEFECTS OF TOYO TIRES ON 2008 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER. TIRES SHRED TREAD IN LITTLE PIECES. TOYOTA DEALER HAS A SHEET DESCRIBING THE DETAILS. TOYO KNEW THE TIRES WERE DEFECTIVE. THEY WAITED UNTIL THE OWNER NOTICED AND COMPLAINED. THE TIRES WEAR OUT VERY QUICKLY. THE TIRES SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND REPLACED. INSTEAD TOYO APPLIED THEIR WARRANTY. WITH 80% CREDIT, MY COSTS WERE$252.25 SINCE THE TIRES WERE KNOWN TO BE DEFECTIVE, THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED AT NO CHARGE TO ME. *TR

PREMATURE TIRE WEAR - INSIDE EDGES OF REAR TIRES WEAR TO THREADS BEFORE OUTSIDE EDGE IS BARELY WORN. TIRE ROTATION DOES NOT HELP. *TR

I OWN A 2008 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER VEHICLE AND THE FRONT TIRES HAVE ALMOST ALL TREADS WORN DOWN ALREADY AFTER JUST 10,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE WHICH INDICATES THIS VEHICLE IS JUST CHEWING TIRES RIGHT UP SO I AM WORRIED ABOUT EARLY TIRE FAILURE. OTHER OWNERS MUST HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. CAN NHTSA CHECK THIS OUT FOR ALL OWNERS? *TR

4 TIRES PURCHASED FROM ARMY AIR FORCE EXCHANGE SERVICE, (AAFES) ON 20 NOV 2006 FOR A 2003 TOYOTA SIENNA VAN. I HAVE HAD TO TAKE IT BACK TO GET THE VALVE STEMS REPLACED. FIRST INCIDENT WAS 10 OCT 2008, THE SECOND OCCURRENCE JUST HAPPENED AND WILL BE REPLACED ON THE 11TH. *TR

TRIP BACK FROM NEW ORLEANS THE CAR JUST STOPPED RUNNING. REPAIRMAN SAID IT WAS A BLOWN HEAD GASKET. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE REPAIR SHOP. THE COST IS BETWEEN 2,000 AND 2,500 DOLLARS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, ONE OF THE TOYO TIRES BLEW OUT. THE FOLLOWING DAY, A SECOND TIRE BLEW OUT AS WELL. THE DEALER REPLACED THE TIRES. THE TIRE SIZE AND LINE WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 700.

2007 TAHOE NEW JUST OFF THE LOT HAD A SHAKE IN THE STEERING WHEEL AT 70 MPH, DIDN'T ADDRESS THE PROBLEM UNTIL A FEW DAYS LATER WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE OUTFITTED WITH AFTERMARKET RIMS AND TIRES. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE FACTORY TIRES PROBABLY HAD A FLAT SPOT FROM SITTING ON THE LOT. WITH THE NEW AFTERMARKET WHEELS THE STEERING WHEEL STILL HAD THE SHAKE AND A VIBRATION. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM WHICH STILL REMAIN AND THE TIRES HAVE FEATHERED AND CUPPED. THEY ROTATED THE REARS TO THE FRONT AND THEY IMMEDIATELY STARTED TO FEATHER. THE VEHICLE HAS 15000 MILES AND GOING INTO IT'S 12TH MONTH WITH NO RESOLVE. *TR

HIT A POTHOLE AT APPROX 45-50 MPH...FRONT/RIGHT SHOCK FAILED..AFTER REACHING REPAIR FACILITY WE DISCOVERED THE ENTIRE FRONT END (NEW HOLLAND) HAD BEEN COMPROMISED....BENT AND CRACKED HOW COULD A POTHOLE CAUSE THIS TYPE OF DAMAGE UNLESS THERE WAS AN INHERENT WEAKNESS WITHIN THE STRUCTURE? *TR
