TIRES
LEASED A NEW 2000 TOYOTA SOLARA CONVERTIBLE IN JULY 2000. TOOK CAR FOR ALL REQUIRED MAINTNEANCE CHECKS. AFTER ONLY 20,000 MILES WAS INFORMED THAT ALL 4 TIRES WERE COMPLETELY UNSAFE FOR DRIVING. IF I HAD NOT HAD CAR SERVICED I WOULD HAVE DRIVEN NEW CAR AND WAS IN DANGER OF A FATAL ACCIDENT. TIRES USUALLY ARE SAFE AT SUCH A SHORT AMOUNT OF MILES. I WANT TO REPORT THIS TO YOU SO THAT OTHERS ARE ADVISED TO CHECK THEIR TOYOTA BRIDGESTONE TIRES. IT COULD SAVE THEIR LIVES. ALSO I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE HAVE BEEN MANY ACCIDENTS DUE TO THESE TOYOTA BRIDGESTONE TIRES AND SHOULD TOYOTA STOP USING THEM ON THEIR CARS AND LET THEIR CURRENT CUSTOMERS KNOW TO HAVE THEIR TIRES CHECKED. IT WAS THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP THAT DISCOVERED MY BADLY WORN AND UNSAFE TIRES.

VANITY MIRROR FELL OFF DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR. THE MIRROR HAD ONLY BEEN USED TO A MINIMAL DEGREE--ONCE A MONTH OR LESS IN THE 20 MONTHS SINCE PURCHASE. A SHORT TIME AFTER, VISOR HINGE BECAME LOOSE. TOYOTA SAID PLASTIC HINGES WERE WORN AND ENTIRE VISOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER $200.00 FOR PARTS AND LABOR. CLEARLY THE PARTS USED IN THE VISOR HINGE AND TO ATTACH THE VANITY MIRROR TO THE VISOR ARE DEFECTIVE. THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT EITHER PART COULD DISLODGE WHILE DRIVING CAUSING AT THE VERY LEAST A DISTRACTION TO THE VEHICLE OPERATOR THAT COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. MR
