This complaint is concerning Bridgestone All Season Tire (BL 205/55R 16). I was driving on the road and all of a sudden the steering wheel was moving back and forth and the right front tire was bouncing uncontrollably while was while driving. My car was pulling to the right as I drove, creating a dangerously unstable driving condition, This issue posed a significant risk not only to my safety but also to others on the road, as the inability to control the vehicle could result in an accident. I pulled over, and saw that the tire was not flat. I was two blocks from the sister store in Halladale. I asked for the manager to look at my wheel as it is under warranty. The manager said it was a bubble in the tread of the tire. I asked the manager since this is a manufacturer defect, can I get tire replaced at no charge. He said he would replace it not for free, but he would prorate the tire. He gave me the estimate and I informed him that since I bought the extended warranty, mounting and balancing was supposed to be free of charge. He says he can't honor the warranty. He not only charged me for the mounting and balancing, but charged me for another warranty! (that they won't honor) The warranty was good for 40,000 miles and this tire only had 16,000 so I felt I was treated unfairly, I called Firestone customer complaint line several times and they said the district manager would call me to rectify my issues, but no one ever called me back. I went to another tire shop to purchase ano

My Scion XB has a set of dealer installed TRD springs front and rear. The springs in the rear have rusted to the point where I question their resistance to breaking and thus the safety of the car when turning a corner. The springs came from the factory with a coating that has quickly worn off an exposed the bare, untreated metal to excessive rust and corrosion. If one of these springs breaks while driving, then the car could be difficult to control and result in a wreck.

The contact owns a 2010 Scion XB. The contact stated that while the vehicle was idling, the vehicle would shake and vibrate abnormally. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the motor mounts were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired.

The local dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 225,000.

WE HAVE CONTACTED OUR LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER TO HAVE THE PART REPLACED, AND WE CONTINUE TO WAIT 4 MONTHS LATER FOR PARTS THAT ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE. THIS IS A FAMILY VEHICLE THAT NEEDS TO BE USED ON A DAILY BASIS IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. TOYOTA TELLING US "WE ARE WAITING FOR THE PARTS" AND YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED VIA MAIL WHEN THEY DO, TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT IS NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM. THEY DO NOT EVEN HAVE AN ESTIMATED TIME FRAME.

TAKATA RECALL THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS. MY SON IS DRIVING THIS CAR NOW. THIS SPECIFIC RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED IN MAY 2016, BUT TOYOTA HAS FAILED TO MAKE A REMEDY AVAILABLE. THIS MEANS MY SON, AND HIS PASSENGERS, ARE AT RISK OF A DEADLY AIRBAG EXPLOSION AND TOYOTA MUST BE MADE TO ACTUALLY IMPLEMENT THE RECALL REMEDY IMMEDIATELY. WE CAN'T AFFORD TO PARK THE VEHICLE UNTIL TOYOTA GETS AROUND TO IT, OR TURN IT INTO A ONE-PERSON VEHICLE, WHEN WE PAID FOR A 4-PERSON VEHICLE.

"TAKATA RECALL" I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL WHICH STATES THE PROPELLANT IN THESE FAULTY AIRBAG INFLATORS MAY DEGRADE AFTER PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO HIGH HUMIDITY AND FLUCTUATING HIGH TEMPERATURES.

I ASKED IF A RENTAL VEHICLE WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE MEAN TIME, SHE STATED TOYOTA DOES NOT COVER A RENTAL, ALL CUSTOMERS HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. I FEEL THAT TOYOTA OF THE DESERT HAS FAILED TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM IN A REASONABLE TIME, AND HAS FAILED TO PROVIDE ITS CUSTOMERS WITH A RENTAL VEHICLE DUE TO THE DELAY.

THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 9,000.

UNINTENIONAL ACCELERATION. *TR

THE FIRST TIME MY BRAKES STOPPED WORKING WAS IN THE ENDINGS OF MAY OF 2010, I WAS IN A BUMPY ROAD GOING ABOUT 45 MPH. I WAS NEARING A STOP SIGN AND MY BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK. THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD TOUCH THE FLOOR UNTIL I RECEIVED SIGNALS THAT IT WAS WORKING. IT DID THIS ABOUT 3-4 TIMES. I TOOK MY CAR IN THAT SAME DAY AND NOTHING WAS FOUND TO BE WRONG. SIX MONTHS LATER, THIS SAME INCIDENT HAPPENED AGAIN. BUT THIS TIME I WAS IN A TRAFFIC AREA AND PEOPLE AROUND. MY BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK, THEY WERE AGAIN DOING THE SAME THING. I CONTACTED A SPECIALIST FROM TOYOTA SCION AND HE CAME A WEEK LATER AND INSPECTED MY CAR AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. BUT HE DID ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, WHICH WAS GREAT. HE REPLACED MY BRAKE CYLINDER. SO AFTER THIS SECOND TIME I THOUGHT IT WOULDN'T HAPPENED AGAIN. BUT IT WAS A MUCH SHORTER TIME FRAME THAN THE LAST 2. THE THIRD TIME WAS ON FEBRUARY 14, 2011, ONLY 3 MONTHS FROM THE 2ND,. NOW I JUST DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY VEHICLE. I HAVE A CHILD, AND A LITTLE SISTER THAT OFTEN RIDE WITH ME. I DON'T WANT THERE TO BE A BAD ACCIDENT WHERE I WONT BE ABLE TO BRAKE AT ALL. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT MY BRAKES SHOULDN'T BE DOING THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 TOYOTA SCION XB. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES FELT VERY LOOSE AND THAT THE ROTORS OVER HEATED AT 5,000 MILES. WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED IT FORCED THE CONTACT TO INCREASE THE STOPPING DISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES FOR THE FAILURE. THE DEALER RESURFACED THE ROTORS; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE ROTORS CONTINUED TO OVERHEAT AND THE BRAKES MADE A LOUD SQUEAKING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 18,812.

I HAVE A RS 7.0 WHICH HAS THE BODY KIT. VERY OFTEN, WHEN I TURN, ESPECIALLY IF THERE IS A PASSENGER OR EXTRA WEIGHT IN THE CAR, IT SOUNDS AS THOUGH THE FRONT WHEELS ARE SCRAPING AGAINST THE BODY OF THE CAR. OF COURSE, THE DEALER CAN'T HEAR THE SOUND AT ALL. BUT THAT IS WHAT I EXPECTED. I JUST HOPE THAT WHEN THE TIRE BLOWS BECAUSE OF WEAR, I DON'T GET KILLED. THE CAR IS ALMOST THREE MONTHS OLD AND THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I BOUGHT IT. *TR

A CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD HAS APPEARED. IT IS ABOUT 12' LONG, IN A SLIGHT "L" SHAPE, STARTING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE NEAR THE TOP. THERE WAS NO IMPACT BY PEBBLES OR ICE OR ANYTHING. THE CAR IS A MONTH OLD TODAY, AND HAS ABOUT 1900 MILES ON IT. *TR

BRAKE PEDAL FEELS SPONGY. IT FEELS LIKE THERE IS AIR INSIDE THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM. THE CAR TAKES LONGER TO STOP TIME TO TIME. THE BRAKING IS INCONSISTENT. THIS IS A VERY BIG SAFETY PROBLEM IN THIS CAR. *TR
