2010 Toyota Highlander Tires & Wheels Problems

REAR WHEEL HUBS. I REPLACED THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL HUB AT ABOUT 6500 MILES AND 92000 MILES. I REPLACED THE LEFT REAR WHEEL HUB AT ABOUT 85000 MILES. IS THERE AN ISSUE WITH THESE ITEMS WEARING OUT PREMATURELY? I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR OVER 50 YEAR AND HAVE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE LIKE THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH THE CONTACT SMELLED A BURNING ODOR. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE CAUSING THE CONTACT TO STOP THE VEHICLE ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT NOTICED THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE APPEARED TO HAVE SMALL HOLES IN IT AND WAS EXTREMELY WORN. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE TIRE WITH THE SPARE TIRE AND DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIANS STATED THE FAILURE MAY HAVE OCCURRED DUE TO EXCESSIVE TEMPERATURES. THE CONTACT STATED THE WHEEL MAY BE DEFECTIVE AND CAUSED THE TIRE TO WEAR EXCESSIVELY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000.

I PURCHASED A 2010 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER FROM FREDERICKSBURG, VIRGINIA LOCATION. THE VEHICLE RODE SMOOTH UNTIL I HAD ITS FIRST SERVICED AT TOYOTA. THE VEHICLE RODE LIKE A JEEP, ROCK AND ROLLING, AT NORMAL DRIVING SPEED AND HIGHLY AT LOW SPEED. ALL THIS STARTED AFTER THE FIRST VEHICLE SERVICE. I TRADED IN MY 2006 FOR 2010 AND IT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. FOR THE 2006, I PURCHASED NEW RIMS, TIRES, LUGS, WHEEL BALANCING AND FULL FRONT END ALIGNMENT. THE VEHICLE STILL RODE THE SAME ROCKING AND ROLLING. IN THE PAST, I HAVE WORK AS SYSTEM ENGINEER ON A MILITARY PROJECT. THE VEHICLE HAD PROBLEMS WITH ITS TRACKS, THE PROBLEM THE LUGS NOT BEING ADJUSTED THE SAME ON EACH WHEEL RESULTING IN TRACK BREAKING OR DAMAGE. THE SAME FOR ANY VEHICLE THAT HAS LUGS AND WHEEL. BACK TO MY 2010, BOTTOM LINE IS EACH WHEEL MUST BE TORQUE THE SAME. IF EACH WHEEL IS TORQUE DIFFERENT OR EACH TUG, THAN THE VEHICLE WILL HAVE A ROCKING AND ROLLING AFFECT. ALL VEHICLE SERVICE SAYS, IT'S THE WHEEL, BUT NO ONE EVER TORQUE THE LUGS RESULTING IN THE SAME ROCK AND ROLLING AFFECT. UNDERSTANDING THE BASICS OF LUG ADJUSTMENT CAN SAVE CUSTOMERS, MONEY, TIME AND EASY FIT.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER EQUIPPED WITH TOYO A20 TIRES (NA), SIZE 245/55/R19. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN RECEIVING THE VEHICLE, IT SWAYED TO THE SIDE IT WAS TURNED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE TIRE MANUFACTURER WHO OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE AND REFERRED HIM TO THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE BRAND OF THE TIRES WAS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 208. THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN GOING AROUND CURVES, THE VEHICLE WOULD LEAN INTO THE CORNER CURVE MORE THAN NORMAL, WHICH WOULD CAUSE THE CONSUMER TO FORCIBLY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK INTO THE CENTER OF THE LANE. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE SIDEWALLS OF THE TIRES WERE TOO SOFT, WHICH ALLOWED THE VEHICLE TO ROLL SIDEWAYS BECAUSE OF ITS WEIGHT, INTO THE CORNERS AND CURVES OF THE ROADWAY. THE CONSUMER STATED DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS, HE PURCHASED A NEW HEAVIER SET OF TIRES. UPDATED EVOQ 03/04/11

THE RIGHT REAR TIRE ON A 2010 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER FAILED. IT WENT COMPLETELY FLAT OVERNIGHT. I HAVE NOT FOUND ANY EVIDENCE OF A FOREIGN OBJECT LODGED IN THE TIRE. WHEN I TRIED TO ADD AIR, I COULD HEAR IT HISSING OUT. NOT CLEAR IF IT WAS A PUNCTURE, TIRE CRACK OR SOME OTHER TIRE FAILURE. I HAVE NOT YET TAKEN IT TO A DEALER, BUT PLAN TO DO SO. THE VEHICLE HAD ONLY 2,950 MILES ON IT. THE TIRE WAS A TOYO OPEN COUNTRY A-20. *TR
