Read complaints for BRIDGESTONE/FIRESTONE NOR TURANZA EL42 (Unknown)
I had purchased my vehicle in december 2010. When i had purchased it, it seemed to have a barring problem, or a brake problem. It kept shaking, and making a thump-sound. It kept pulling, when i stepped on the brakes. About march 2011, i was driving on the highway, and all of a sudden, my car was shaking so much, that i had to pull over. It blew my entire rim and tire off. I got a tow truck and brought it to my mechanic, had to purchase a new tire and rim. About a couple months later, i noticed the pulling in the brakes again,it was getting worse, so i brought it back to my mechanic, and he checked out the whole car. He noticed that their was braking fluid leaking, and that it needs new brake pads. I had my car for 7 months, and all of a sudden i need new brake pads. He said it shouldn't of passed the safety. My dad and his lawyer looked at the safety and e tested papers, and it looks like it was forged, so it probably wasn't a proper safety. I am planning to give the car back, as it does not seem to be a proper safety.
The contact owns a 2001 saturn l200 equipped with brigdgestone/firestone matrix tires, tire size 195/65/r15. The contact noticed the side wall on the front passenger and driver tires exhibited ply separation. The contact stated that the tires were purchased three months prior to the defect. The vehicle was taken to a tire center where both front tires were replaced with new tires. The manufacturer was not made aware of the defective tires. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000. The dot number was unavailable.
I have a 2010 toyota camry.when i reached 70 mph while driving my steering wheel would vibrate very badly.when i took my car in for an oil change and tire rotation, i was told that the vibration is coming from the tires and that the steel mesh was coming through my two front tires and that if i didn't get new tires immediately it was a safety hazard and i could experience a blowout in the very near future.i ended up getting 2 new tires, and my 2 back tires will also need to be replaced soon as they were showing signs of the same problem.

I bought a 2011 toyota siena xle with bridgestone p35/55rf18 tires. They are the original tires and have been rotated according to schedule. After 25,000 miles, they are bald. I noticed slipping and tire failure, then inspected them. The front tires look like racing slicks with no remaining tread.
Belts separating on tire.normal in-city driving at 30 mph, the tire started to make very loud noise while driving, started to bounce, and car wouldn't drive straight and pushing my car into the right lane almost hitting every car passing on the right as i was trying to slow down.the belts were separating from the tire located on the right rear of the tire.this tire is an anomaly from the other tires as it had made a lot of tire noise for a few months, and had excessive wear, but firestone said it was normal and would not do anything about the tire.note, the tires were in perfect four wheel alignment.now that the belts are separated, firestone will not replace the manufacturing defective tire.
The contact owns a 2007 dodge caravan sxt equipped with bridgestone turanza el 42 tires, line size p215/65/16, dot number 7x6vct20807. The contact stated that the tread belt on all four tires was severely dry rotted. The vehicle was taken to a tire center and the four tires were replaced with a different brand of tires. The failure mileage was approximately 22,000.
I purchased a 2011 awd limited sienna and within 4,000 miles of me owning it (bought certified preowned from toyota) i failed inspection for tires.i replaced all 4 tires (by toyota) and they put run flat bridgestone's on.again...about 15,000 miles later, i am again running on tires that are needing to be replaced for irregular wear.told my mechanic that the tires are not safe.toyota said there are no issues with the vehicle (suspension and alignment are perfect).so what is the problem?i am driving 3 small children in this vehicle and this is a safety concern!
