TOYO TIRES Complaints

SIMILAR COMPLAINT TO CASE NUMBER 10192892 FILED 6/11/2007. I PURCHASED 4 TOYO SPECTRUM TIRES FOR 1999 AVALON THAT CONTINUALLY LOST AIR. THEY ERE ALL SLOW LEAKS, BUT REQUIRED FILLING UP ONCE PER MONTH. I CHECKED THEM FOR NAILS, BUT THERE WASV NOTHING EVIDENT.*AK

I PURCHASED 4 TOYO TIRES FOR MY 1999 TOYOTA AVALON LAST SUMMER. ALL OF THE TIRES CONTINUE TO LOSE AIR REQUIRING I FILL THEM UP 2 OR 3 TIMES A MONTH! *TR

BEING IN ONE DEALER 4 TIMES AND ANOTHER ONE TIME. STILL NOT FIXED WHINING NOISE IN BACK, TICKING AND CLICKING NOISE IN ROTOR/ BRAKE, AIR CONDITIONER, HEAT, ROUGH DRIVE, AND SEAT SAGGING. NEW DEALER VERIFIED THE PROBLEMS, AND SAID ALL WAS THE CHARACTERISTIC OF THE CAR, BUT WE FIXED THE ROTOR/BRAKE NOISE BY RESURFACING THE ROTOR. THE FIRST DEALER ALREADY DID THE RESURFACING. BUT NO FIX. THAT WASA WHAT 2D DEALER VERIFIED IN 1ST PLACE. I DID NOT HAVE ANY MORE TIME TO WASTE BY GOING TO 3RD DEALER. NOT FIX AS OF 4/9/07. WHAT ELSE I NEED TO DO? CAR HAS 36,OOO MILES. *AK

TIRES RUBBED TO THE CORD ON THE INSIDE SEEMINGLY FROM THE STRUT ISSUE I HAVE READ ABOUT ONLINE. ONE TIRE WORE ITSELF FLAT. I WENT IN TO REPLACE THE TIRE, AND FOUND ALL FOUR TIRES NEEDED REPLACEMENT. REPLACED ALL FOUR B.F.GOODRICH TIRES WITH SIMILAR TOYO TIRES.AK

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 03 AUDI A4T QUATTRO IN JUNE OF 03. THE DEALER IS GREAT AND THANK GOD THEY VALUE THEIR CUSTOMERS BECAUSE MY CAR HAS GIVEN THEM ALOT PRACTICE ON EVERYTHING. I THINK GERMANY SENT US A DUD! SINCE BUYING THE CAR I HAVE NEEDED VARIOUS ITEMS REPLACED: A NEW COMPUTER, (REPLACED BY THE DEALER), A NEW FUEL SYSTEM WAS NEEDED BECAUSE MY CAR STALLED IN THE LEFT LANE OF A HIGHWAY WHILE DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE (LATER RECALLED BY AUDI BUT AFTER I NEEDED TO BE TOWED AND HAVE THE CPMPONENT FIXED ALONG WITH OTHER ITEMS SUPPOSEDLY ATTACHED TO THE SYTEM), AND MOST RECENTLY 2 SEPARATE PROBLEMS THAT HAVE NOT YET BEEN FIXED BUT HAVE OCCURRED WITHIN 1100 MILES OF EACH OTHER. FIRST DIAGNOSIS OF THE NOISE AND SHIMMY WHILE DRIVING WAS TIRE BALANCE AND LATER RACK AND PIN STEERING AND AFTER ALL THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE SHIMMY AT 65MPH + IS ALONG WITH THE WHINNING IN THE CAR THE FIRST 10 MILES FO EACH DAY (AFTER IT IS WARMED UP OR EVEN IF IT IS A WARM DAY). AND WHAT SUPPOSEDLY WAS FIRST THOUGHT TO BE A COIL IS NOW A MYSTERY. THEY HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR OVER 2 DAYS AND ARE STILL UNSURE AS TO WHAT IS GOING ON. THANK GOD I BOUGHT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY!

TL * THE CONTACT HAD TWO FRONT TOYO TIRES 275/70 R 22.5. THE CONTACT STATES THAT THEREWAS A BIG BULGE IN FRONT TIRE AND THE TREAD WAS SEPARATING. THE CONTACT STATED THE MANUFACTURER RECALLED ALL OF THE COUNTRY COACH TIRES, SPECIFICALLY THE TOYO TIRES, AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE TIRES HAVE ALSO BEEN DISCONTINUED. *AK

TRANPATH TOYO TIRES ON 2005 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER THE TIRE CAME ON THE HIGHLANDER. THE TIRE SEEMED TO FUNCATION WELL UNTIL ABOUT 15,000 MILES. THE ROAD NOISE IS GETTING TO BE UNBEARABLE AND THE TRACTION IS POOR AND HAZARDED ON WET ROAD. THAT COULD CAUSE A BAD ACCIDENT. COMPLAINTED TO THE CAR SERVICE DEPARTMENT THEY OFFERED TO SALE US NEW TIRES WITH NO DISCOUNT. VERY DISAPPOINTED TO THE TIRE. *NM

THE DAY AFTER PURCHASE OF MY 2006 MAZDA3 I WAS BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY, THE REAR BRAKES WERE GRINDING. THEY WERE GRINDING SO LOUD I COULD HEAR THEM OVER THE RADIO ON LEVEL 2 IN VOLUME. I SHOULD NOT HEAR THEM AT ALL!! I HAD UNDER 30 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THE GENTLEMAN I SPOKE WITH TOLD ME THIS IS VERY COMMON , THAT ALL DO IT. I AM SORRY , I DON'T BELIEVE THAT IT SHOULD BE HAPPENING, I HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE THAT HAS DONE THAT UNLESS THE BRAKE PADS, AND ROTORS DIDN'T NEED REPLACED. NOW, 2 MONTHS LATER, THE BRAKES ARE STILL DOING IT, AND SEEM TO BE EVEN LOUDER WITH A SMALL SQUEAK ADDED IN. *JB
