TOYO TIRES Complaints

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

I OWN A 2006 MAZDA 5 I HAVE HAD THE TIRES BALANCED 4 TIMES AND THE FRONT END ALIGNMENT CHECKED, MY TIRES HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO EXCESSIVE CUPPING ON ALL FOUR TIRES, I HAVE HAD THE TIRES BALANCED AT LEAST FOUR TIMES, THEY HAD JUST OVER 29,000 MILES, THE TIRE SIZE IS 205/50VR 17 (TOYO). I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE TIRES THIS EARLY, AND NEEDLESS TO SAY THESE TIRES ARE EXPENSIVE, I WAS JUST WONDERING IF YOU HAVE HAD ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC TIRE SIZE AND MANUFACTURER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 COUNTRY COACH INTRIGUE (NA). WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH IN DRY CONDITIONS, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT. THE TIRE BLEW WITH SUCH FORCE THAT IT SHATTERED THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AND THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE GUARD RAIL. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT THE REAR TIRES HAVE BEEN REPLACED DUE TO RECALL NUMBER 06V262000 (TIRES). THE TIRES ARE TOYO M10 Z, SIZE 275/70R 22.5. THE ENGINE SIZE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 52,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1997 FORD F-250 LD. THE VEHICLE HAS MILESTONE 1000R20, SIZE 265-75/16 TIRES. THE WIRES WERE EXPOSED FROM THE SIDES OF THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRES. A MECHANIC STATED THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPAIR THE TIRE BECAUSE THEY WERE DANGEROUS. THE DEALER WHERE THE TIRES WERE PURCHASED WAS NO LONGER IN BUSINESS. THE PURCHASE DATE WAS UNKNOWN. THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,500. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES OF THE VEHICLE WERE 219,330. UPDATED 02-01-08 *BF UPDATED 02/01/08 *TR

THE "DESIGN" OF HOW THE VEHICLE IS TO OPERATE AND DRIVING PERFORMANCE ISSUES. POOR ACCELERATION, HESITATION, AUTOMATIC SHIFTING OF THE TRANSMISSION WHEN DRIVING. GAS MILEAGE IS NOT AS MANUFACTURER STATED. FRONT TIRES WORE OUT AT 15K MILES. PER THE DEALERSHIP NO FRONT END PROBLEMS FOUND AND DO NOT KNOW WHY THE TIRES WORE OUT SO QUICK WHILE THE BACK TIRES ARE STILL GOOD. CONSTANT PULLING OF THE VEHICLE. IF I HIT A BUMP THE CAR AND STEERING WHEEL JERKS TO ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER. ACCELERATION AND HESITATION IS A SAFETY ISSUE. SPEED OVERSHOOT AFTER HESITATION. TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO STOP WORKING WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. THE DEALERSHIP STATES THIS IS HOW THE VEHICLE IS DESIGNED TO RUN. I WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE BULLETIN ISSUED IN SEPT 2006 REGARDING A DOWNLOAD OF NEW COMPUTER SOFTWARE OR OF THE FACT TOYOTA WAS AWARE OF ALL THE ISSUES MENTIONED. TO MY UNDERSTANDING IT DID NOT HELP ANY OF THE ISSUES. OVERALL THE VEHICLE IS HARD TO DRIVE FOR FEAR OF WRECKING. I AM CHECKING INTO LEMON LAW. THE DEALERSHIPS DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX THESE MANUFACTURING PROBLEMS. I HAVE HAD THESE PROBLEMS SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE AND STILL ARE ON GOING.
