2017 Toyota Sienna

EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR ON OUTER EDGES. TIRES WERE ROTATED EVERY 5,000 MILES OR SO, AFTER 20,000 TIRES WERE VERY WORN. REPLACED AT 30,000, WHICH WAS ACTUALLY WAY PAST WHAT WAS SAFE FOR THEM. NOW, WITH MICHELIN DEFENDERS, AN ALIGNMENT UPON INSTALLATION (WHICH DID NOT SHOW ANYTHING), AND PROPER TIRE PRESSURE AT 4500 MILES, SAME WEAR IS HAPPENING. TOYOTA'S RESPONSE WAS THAT IT IS A HEAVY VEHICLE. WHAT IS IT: TIRES ARE FALSELY LABELED FOR HIGHER MILAGE THAN THEY GET OR ARE THE SIENNA TIRES NOT THE APPROPRIATE SIZE FOR THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE? ATTACHED PHOTOS: FRONT WEAR AT 4500 MILES AS COMPARED TO BACK TIRE AND ORIGINAL TIRES AT 30,000.

I AM HAVING TO REPLACE ALL THE TIRES, WITH ONLY 19,903 MILES ON MY AWD 2017 MINIVAN. AT MY 10,000 MILE TOYOTACARE CHECK, THEY DIDN'T ROTATE THE TIRES BECAUSE THEY SAID NO ROTATION NEEDED DUE TO LESS TREAD ON BACK TIRES, SO ALREADY NOTICING UNEVEN WEAR. AT 15000, THEY ONLY ROTATED ONE SIDE. NOW AT 20,000 THEY TELL ME THE FRONT TIRES SHOW INNER SHOULDER WEAR. THEY DID ROTATE. HAD AN INDEPENDENT DOUBLE CHECK. THE TIRES THAT HAD BEEN ON FRONT ARE VERY WORN/SMOOTH ON INNER SIDE, TREAD LESS THAN 5 IN THE MIDDLE. THESE ARE THE TIRES THAT CAME ON THE MINIVAN WHEN I BOUGHT IT, BRAND NEW. THEY ARE RUN FLAT TIRES. THEY COST OVER $1000, AND LASTED LESS THAN 20,000 MILES, AND ONLY 14 MONTHS OF DRIVING. NO SPARE TIRE OR JACK CAME WITH THE VAN, NOR IS THERE SPACE TO CARRY A SPARE, ALMOST FORCING ME TO BUY MORE RUN FLAT TIRES. FROM WHAT I'VE READ RECENTLY, TOYOTA MINIVANS ARE WEARING TIRES OUT MUCH SOONER THAN OTHER MAKES.

WIFE WAS DRIVING VEHICLE, WHILE TURNING OFF OF A MAIN ROAD WITH VEHICLE IN DRIVE THE VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING WITH FOOT DEPRESSING GAS PEDAL. PULLED VEHICLE OVER, TURNED ON AND OFF COUPLE OF TIMES, EACH TIME SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, BUT VEHICLE HAD NO RESPONSE. I CAME TO SWITCH VEHICLES AND SEND HER HOME WITH THE KIDS. I STARTED VEHICLE AND ATTEMPTED DRIVE AND REVERSE, NEITHER OF WHICH RESPONDED. I THEN SWITCHED TO STANDARD TRANSMISSION MODE, THE VEHICLE THEN WOULD DRIVE AND I TOOK IT HOME. I TURNED VEHICLE OFF AND ON, ATTEMPTED DRIVE AND REVERSE IN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION MODE, AND THE VEHICLE WAS WORKING FINE AGAIN AS IF NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, THEY COULD NOT "DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM" AND THE VEHICLE PASSED HEALTH CHECK. APPARENTLY THE ISSUE RESET ITSELF WHEN I SWITCHED THE TRANNY FROM AUTO TO STANDARD. NO FIX HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED. THIS OCCURRED AT 2122 MILES. THEN JUST TODAY I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE HEATER CAME ON FULL BLAST, TEMP. READING 77, ALL ON ITS OWN WITHOUT ME TOUCHING ANYTHING. WILL BE TAKING IT TO DEALER TODAY.

VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR NORMAL SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRES WERE NEEDING TO BE REPLACED AT 20997 MILES. TIRES WERE ROTATED PROPERLY AND VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVEN OUTSIDE OF NORMAL CONDITIONS. BRIDGSTONE TURANZA EL400 RUN FLAT TIRES ARE ORIGINAL TIRES. WINTER TIRES WERE INSTALLED AT ROUGHLY 6000 MILES AND DRIVEN DURING THE 2016 SEASON WINTER UNTIL 11000 MILES. INSIDE OF BRIDGESTONE TIRES ARE ALMOST TO CORD. TOYOTA SAYS THAT IT THE TIRE MANUFACTURES ISSUE, AND IT COULD BE AN ALIGNMENT ISSUE YET THE WINTER TIRES SHOW NO ISSUE OF WEARING OUT OF NORMAL WEAR. THEY STATE THAT IT IS OUR PROBLEM, WE NEED NEW TIRES. HAVE READ A LOT THAT OTHERS ARE SEEING THIS SAME WEAR ISSUE AND EVEN CALLED ANOTHER GARAGE AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THESE TIRES CONCERNING THE PREMATURE WEAR ON OEE TIRES ON THIS VAN.
