Toyota Camry Wheels Safety Report | Sept 21, 2012
Reported on Sept 21, 2012
| SEPTEMBER 21, 2012 I JUST HAPPENED TO CHECK THE AIR PRESSURE OF THE TIRES (JUST BOUGHT A NEW TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE) WHEN I NOTICED A LARGE BULGE ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE. I TOOK IT TO MY TOYOTA DEALER IN ROUND ROCK TX AS DIRECTED BY MY SERVICE ADVISOR. HE INDICATED THAT THE TIRE WAS PINCHED OR HIT SOMETHING TO CAUSE THIS BULGE AND THAT TOYOTA WOULD NOT REPLACE IT UNDER ITS ORIGINAL WARRANTY. HE TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO THE FIRESTONE STORE NEXT DOOR AND SEE IF THEY WOULD REPLACE IT UNDER WARRANTY. NEEDLESS TO SAY THEY CLAIMED THAT IT WAS A ROAD HAZARD AND WOULD NOT REPLACE IT. NOW, MY WIFE AND I HAVE BEEN DRIVING A COMBINED 62 YEARS AND WE'VE NEVER HAD A NEW TIRE BLISTER LIKE THIS, GRANTED ALL THE TIRE THAT CAME WITH THE CAR AND THE SUBSEQUENT ONES WE PURCHASED WERE MICHELINS. LOT OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THESE BRIDGESTONE OEM TIRES ON THE INTERNET. *TR | |
