2014 Toyota Camry Tires & Wheels Problems

AIR PRESSURE SIGNAL APPEARED IN THE DASHBOARD. WITHOUT MY CONSENT THEY CHANGED THE FOUR TIRE SENSORS AND THEY PUT A NEW BATTERY. STILL THE AIR PRESSURE SIGNAL APPEARED IN THE DASHBOARD, I WENT BACK TWICE THEY NEVER FIX IT , THEY HAVE CHARGED ME $ 1,154.02 AND STILL NOT FIXED

YOKAHMA AVID ASCENT TIRES, FRONT PASSENGER SIDE, TREAD SEPARATED AND CAUSED A BLOW OUT TIRES ONLY HAD A40000 MILES ON THEM FOR A 65000 MILE TIRE. NO PREVIOUS PROBLEM, SARTED BEING BUMPY AT 40MPH. I PULLED OVER DID NOT SEE ANYTHING, TOOK OFF AND POW TIRE WAS SHREDDED, THE TREAD JUST POPPED OFFF AND WAS FLAPPING AROUND. IT WAS ON A PAVED CITY ROAD IN ZIP CODE 37072

ROAOING NOISE WHEN WHEELS TURN. LOUD ON SMOOTH ROAD FROM 20MPH ON UP. RYTHEM INCREASES WITH SPEED. TOYOTA INSPECTION STATED ALL TIRES HAVE INSIDE EDGE FEATHERED TREAD. VERY EXCESSIVE ON REAR TIRES. REPLACE ALL TIRES TO STOP NOISE. CAUSE UNKNOWN

THE ISSUE: A SERVICE PROVIDER VIOLATING THE 'MAKE INOPERATIVE' PROVISION OF THE LAW. WE PURCHASED FOUR TIRES AT SAM"S CLUB #8247, IN HOMEWOOD, AL. WHEN THEY RETURNED THE CAR WE RECEIVED AN ENVELOPE WITH THE INVOICE, THE KEYS AND A BROKEN "AIR PRESSER SENSOR". THEY JUST HANDED US THE ENVELOPE AND MADE NO MENTION OF THE BROKEN SENSOR. WE ASK THE YOUNG MAN YOU WAITED ON US 'WHAT HAPPEN' ? HE HAD NO CLUE, HE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE SENSOR WAS. AFTER LOOKING AT THE INVOICE SOMEONE HAD WRITTEN AT THE BOTTOM 'ROD BROKE SENSOR'. WE TALKED TO A STORE MANAGER SHE TOLD TO TAKE THE CAR TO A REPAIR SHOP, PAY FOR THE REPAIR, BRING THEM THE INVOICE AND THAT SAM'S WOULD REIMBURSE US FOR THE COST UP $350.00. IT MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE REPAIRED THE SENSOR BEFORE ALLOWING THE VEHICLE TO LEAVE THEIR SHOP. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, ON THEIR PARKING LOT.

DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT HAD A BLOW OUT. TWO WEEKS LATER ANOTHER BLOW OUT . DECIDED TO CHECK REST OF TIRES AND THERE IS A BULGE ON THE SIDE WALL OF THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE BELIEVE THAT THEY ALL WERE FACTORY DEFECTS..

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR (TPM) INDICATOR DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE TPM FAILED TO PROPERLY BALANCE THE TIRES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,500. UPDATED 06/13/17*LJ UPDATED 10/12/2017*JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 TOYOTA CAMRY EQUIPPED WITH BRIDGESTONE TURANZA EL41 TIRES, SIZE: 215/55R17. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BE SERVICED, THE TECHNICIAN FOUND VISIBLE BLISTERS LOCATED ON THE INSIDE WALLS OF THE FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRES. THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE TIRE AND VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,983. THE DOT NUMBER WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

BUBBLE ON INSIDE OF RR TIRE, SUGGEST REPLACING 215-55-17 BRIDGESTONE POTENZA. WOLFCHASE TOYOTA MAY HAVE REPLACED TIRE ON RF OF CAR, NOT RR. I CAN ONLY PRESUME BUBBLE MAY STILL BE ON TIRES WHICH WERE SUPPOSEDLY ROTATED. ANOTHER DESCRIPTION ON FIRST PAGE OF OWNER'S RECEIPT STATES "C/R REPLACE TIRE THAT HAS A BUBBLE ON IT. REPLACED RIGHT FRONT TIRE." I CANNOT TELL WHICH TIRE WAS REPLACED, OR IF ANY WERE REPLACED. DRIVING WITH A BUBBLE ON A TIRE MAY CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I ONLY HAD 24.983 MILES ON THE TIRES, BUT WOLFCHASE TOYOTA REQUIRED FULL PURCHASE PRICE OF $211,15 FOR REPLACEMENT TIRE AND MISIDENTIFIED WHERE THEY REPLACED THE TIRE. WOLFCHASE PROVIDED NO ROAD HAZARD OR WARRANTY ON THE TIRE BECAUSE REP SAID I FAILED TO PURCHASE THIS COVERAGE WHEN THE CAR WAS NEW. I TOLD THE REP THAT I WAS NOT TOLD I NEEDED TO BUY THE COVERAGE WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR. BASED ON YOUR DATABASE, BRIDGESTONE HAS HAD BUBBLE PROBLEMS ON THEIR TIRES WHICH HAS CAUSED ACCIDENTS. WOLFCHASE TOYOTA FAILED TO SHOW ME THIS TIRE WITH A BUBBLE WHICH HAS BEEN A CUSTOMARY PRACTICE AT OTHER SERVICE PLACES THAT I'VE GONE TO.

I HAVE A 2014.5 TOYOTA CAMRY ROUTINE MAINTAINED COMPLETED. AT 10000 MILES AIR LEAK OCCURRED TIRE NOT REPAIRABLE TIRE REPLACED. 3 WEEKS AGO AT 15,000 MILES TIRE HAD CATROPHIC FAILURE TIRE BLEW AT 25 OR LESS MILES PER HOUR CAUSING 3000.00 DAMAGE TO CAR INCLUDING ABS BRAKE SYSTEM. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON FREEWAY I WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD. TIRE IS MICHELIN PRIMISE 215517 MXV4 DT000 835 70M I
