The vehicle has been brought back to the dealership many many times since it was first purchased (5 times i believe for steering related problems and other times for a brake boot problem and a variety of other issues).the other problem the vehicle has had is what ford is calling a "shimmy". They originally told us we needed new shocks because of this problem which we disputed and took it to a specialist in shock replacement who told us this was not the problem.then they told us it was the tires (which they are contending in the form letter they sent us-that states we must maintain proper pressure to control this problem). Unfortunately, proper tire pressure seemingly has nothing to do with this problem and we continue to have the problem to which ford's answer to us is "get new tires" (the tires have only 22,000 miles on them, they are the tires ford put on the vehicle when we bought it and they, of course, are not a warranty item).all in all, the truck has had many issues, some of which have been fixed repeatedly only to appear again in the same or similar way.

My ford f-350 has severe vibration and steering issues. I received the letter about these issues april 2009. Shortly there after while on the highway at 65mph the truck started vibrating uncontrollable. About the time i got it slowed down i heard a loud pop in the passengers side front end. This was about april 25 2009. On may 14 2009 i went to ford for my oil change. They discovered the front passengers universal joint is broken. I was not in four wheel drive when this loud pop occurred. But i did almost lose control prior to hearing it pop, my speed at the time of pop was about 35mph. I keep the tire pressure up, by checking it almost every time i add fuel. And the tires are checked at each oil change, every 3,000 miles. The letter i received from ford, says to check tire pressure. The tire pressure was good when i checked it shortly after hearing the universal joint pop. The size of tire is the same as the ones installed at the factory. I do not have any suspension modifications. After the ford dealer told me i need a new universal joint, i took the truck to another alignment shop. He had a f250 he was working on that had about the same thing happen. And told me this has been happening alot. After which i called ford, they will not warranty the issue, although it sounded to me that the operators were well aware these trucks shimmy and then pop there universal joints. I am fearful to drive the truck, as i think next time i may lose all control. Ford will not warranty the issue because the warranty is expired, but the operators told me i should sell it, as they have lots of complaints like this. I would not want to hurt somebody else by passing this problem truck on, but i do not have finances to scrap it ether. Please help me. Thank you

New tire blows off after driving forabout 5,000 to 7,000 miles.
I own a 2008 toyota highlander limited. After driving 25k miles, i noticed a vibration in my steering. I then noticed my tires tread on all 4 tires worn down to almost 2/32" of tread depth remaining. I have original tires: open country a20 p 245/55r19 103s.i called toyo tire consumer relations dept. And they said there is no mileage warranty on the original equipment. They offer 30% discount on new set of tires installed at tire dealer center. New tires, after discount will cost about $900, but they on the back order and become available only by the end of december 2009. I forced to keep driving my car with bad tires.they don't offer any replacement tires for this odd size, manufactured only for this car.these tires create a hazard to me, my family and public safety, especially driving in the north-east areas. I have never had a new vehicle that need new tires when it is barely two years old. I try to replace this tires before i have an incident. I have noticed numerous complaints about these tires on various web sites. All toyota highlander owners very disappointed and lost. Many try to change tire size to more common used, which will void power-train warranty and could create more of safety problems.i hope you find this situation very disturbing and potentially safety hazardous and will lead to your investigation and correction.
I ask because today had a horrible experience with toyota. They told me my shredding, bald tires are safe and nothing wrong with them. Called toyo who makes the tires and they offered me 50 percent discount on new tires and tire place said car wouldn't pass inspection.. .all this when an hour earlier toyota dealership said everything is safe and sent me off with a safety inspection report saying all is well... From what i see online, it seems like hundreds of customers dealing with same 2008 vehicles with only 10-18k miles on tires that are shredding and bald. Personally i think this could be another toyota example of turning the other way. From reading consumers stories and comments online i am afraid this could result in more injuries than the whole brake situation. Appreciate anything you can do to draw some attention to this.

Toyota highlander 19" rims with toyo open country a20 tires are very unsafe.this tire/wheel combination was standard on 2008/09 limited and sport highlanders.my 2009 highlander would slip all over the place in winter driving.by far the worst winter vehicle i ever owned and i've owned plenty that were not all-wheel drive.luckily the traction control system is good and saved me from several accidents.toyota used very large 19" rims and performance tires on the vehicle.the tires were worn out after 18 months and 21,000 miles. Why toyota thought big wheels and performance tires were important to an suv purchaser is beyond me.toyota also refuses to stand behind their safety defect (not to mention the tires only lasted 21,000 miles).i purchased 17" rims on my own and toyo provided credit for 2 of the 4 new open country ht tires and the suv is now much safer - it no longer feels like i am riding on roller skates!
This report concerns a 2008 toyota highlander limited that was purchased new as a dealer leftover.the vehicle has just over 20,000 miles and the toyo open country a20 tires are shredding and have pieces of the tread missing.this is on all four tires.the tires are p245/55r19 with a dot number cxhh-dk80508.i have not yet contacted toyo, however from other complaints noted, it does not seem that the manufacturer will willingly accept the defect of premature wear of this tire.the tire size is unique, which causes the replacement cost to be much higher than more standard sizes.
The contact owns a 2008 toyota highlander equipped with toyo open country at tires, size p245/55r19. The contact stated that all four tires were chipping away on the shoulder of the inside. While drivign 35 mph, the tire pressure warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a repair shop where the tires were inspected and the chipping was discovered. The contact called the tire manufacturer who advised her to take the vehicle to their tire dealer. The contact did not feel comfortable driving the vehicle to the dealer with the defective tires. The tires had not been replaced. The failure mileage was approximately 28,000.
The contact owns a 2010 toyota rav4. The vehicle has toyo tires, model number a20, and line size 225/65/r 17. The contact stated the low tire pressure warning light illuminated. The contact found the rear passengers tire was flat and there was a screw puncturing the tire. After checking the remaining tires, he found that the rear drivers tire pressure was above 50 psi. The dot decal stated that 32 pounds was the recommended psi for rear and front tires. The contact stated the tire pressure was in excess of 50 pounds. The dealer was not notified. The contact stated that tires registering that high in numbers should be inspected thoroughly. The failure and current mileages were 200.
Toyo a20 open country tires in 245/55r19 size wear prematurely with potential loss of traction and control.drivers unaware of the fact these tires wear out in less than 20,000 miles may fail to check them for wear soon enough.these tires are the oem tires used on the 2008 toyota highlander sport model and probably some other toyota models and model years as well.the 2008 vehicle owners will be the first to report problems.this blog on consumer reports details the problems.http://blogs.consumerreports.org/cars/2009/04/toyota-highlander-how-to-choose-the-best-replacement-tire-.htmltoyota dealers are offering no compensation or replacement assistance and this size tire is unique so that only two firms offer replacements - toyo and bridgestone.the bridgestone oem tires in this size may have the same wear and traction problems.

Greetings.i am writing to you regarding my 2008 highlander sport, serial number [xxx].specifically, i am writing about the oem tires, toyo open country, dot cxhh, dk82508.as of today, i have 23, 897 miles on the vehicle; and the tires are completely worn out to a point below the wear bars, which indicates that they must be replaced now.when i purchased the vehicle in october 2008, i purchased the toyota maintenance program, so the tires are rotated and balanced (if necessary) every 5,000 miles when i also change the oil.i am a 46 year old father of three small children, with no moving violations, tickets or accidents. I tell you this about my life to indicate the type of conservative driver that i am.i have conducted extensive research online and have identified the lowest price for a set of four tires at $759.88, which will actually more expensive during the buy due to the tpms system, the necessity for an alignment when replacing four tires, and tax.i realize that tire replacement is just one part of the overall maintenance requirement for a vehicle.however, tires on a $33,000 vehicle should provide far more mileage than 24,000 miles.in fact, if you have the time-i invite you to go the blog titled toyota nation, where all of the writers consistently make disparaging remarks about toyota?s cheap tire selection.so much in fact, writers discuss various methods for overcoming the burden of finding a suitable, well-priced replacement when there are only three companies who make the 245/55-r19.those companies are toyo, bridgestone and hankook.most writers convert to a larger tire or a smaller tire with new wheels, which of course affects not only the speedometer/odometer readings, but more importantly performance and possibly safety of the vehicle.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The tires on my 2009 toyota highlander hybrid failed and had to be replaced. The car was unsafe to drive in the snow even though it was an all wheel drive vehicle.
The contact owns a 2008 toyota highlander equipped with toyoopen country tires, size p245/55/r19. The contact stated all 4 tires on the vehicle, including the spare, exhibited tread separation. The dealer performed an alignment yet the failure persisted. The vehicle and tire manufacturers were contacted and neither would provide any assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000 and the current mileage was approximately 27,000.
The contact owns a 1998 ford f-150.the vehicle has toyo open country at tires, size p235/70/r16.the contact noticed that the sidewalls of the front driver's side, front passenger side, and rear passenger side tires were cracked.the vehicle was taken to an independent repair shop and all four tires were replaced.the contact was concerned of the safety risk involved. The failure and current mileages were 116,000. Updated 12-01-08 updated 12/02/08.
Toyo open country a20 tires 245/55/19 which came as standard equipment on 2008 toyota highlander hybrid wore significantly and prematurely.at 18000 miles these tires were worn nearly to the wear bars resulting in extremely poor wet and snow traction leading to sliding and hydroplaning.the tread also began to peel on one tire.i did not notice the wear until it was pointed out by a mechanic as they looked good from a distance and i didn't think to check the tread on a 60,000 mile warranty tire at only 18000 miles.toyota states that this is normal wear and toyo does not honor a mileage warranty on oem tires.these are dangerous tire as they were sold on one of the best selling family vehicles in the industry and could result in a serious accident especially coming into the winter months as owners of low mileage vehicles may not realize that the tires are actually complete worn out already.
