MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE 57 SOUTH FWY ABOUT 7P.M. WHEN HER FRONT RIGHT TIRE EXPLODED INTO SERVAL PIECES... THIS WAS THE ORIGINAL TIRE AND EQUIPMENT. WE UNDERSTAND A FLAT COULD HAVE OCCURRED FROM EVERYDAY WEAR AND TEAR; HOWEVER, THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SERIOUS OR FATAL ACCIDENT. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE EVIDENCE OF THIS, WE WILL PROVIDE PHOTOS OF WHAT IS LEFT. WE BELIEVE THAT THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND OR RECALLED.*AK

THE ALLOY RIMS ON MY 2000 CAMRY PURCHASED 5/03 ARE SHOWING EXCESSIVE CORROSION. ALL THE VEHICLES OVER TWO YEARS OLD ON THE DEALERS LOT ALSO HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. THE TOYOTA CERTIFICATION PROGRAM IGNORED THE PROBLEMS AS I WAS TOLD IT DID NOT MAKE THE RIMS DANGEROUS. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A PRODUCT DEFECT THAT IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED BY TOYOTA. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THIS IS CAUSED BY BRAKE DUST AND THERE IS NO CORRECTIVE REMEDY.
