TIRES, TIRES:SIDEWALL
I PURCHASED A SET OF WINSTON WINNER 185/60R14 82 H THE TIRES WERE ROTATED AND AT ABOUT HALF OF THE LISTED LIFETIME OF THE TIRES, AND WITH PLENTY OF TREAD, ONE OF THE TIRES BLEW OUT AT 60MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. THE TIRE APPARENTLY BLEW OUT AROUND THE LETTERING OF THE TIRE AT THE T OF WINSTON. UPON CLOSER INSPECTION IT APPEARED AS IF A FEW OF THE OTHER LETTERS WERE CRACKING AT THE EDGE OF THE LETTERS ON THE SIDEWALL. THIS APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURING FLAW AND NOT A CUT OR SOME ROAD DEBRIS. *TR

THE 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA (CE) CAR ENGINE DIDN'T PICK UP SPEED IN HIGHWAY UNTIL PULLING CAR OVER TO SHOULDER AND RESTARTED THE CAR. THIS SITUATION HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES YESTERDAY WHEN I DRIVING IT WITH MY FAMILY ON HIGHWAY I-95 IN JACKSONVILLE FLORIDA. NEXT DAY I WENT TOYOTA DEALER TO FIND OUT THE ISSUE. THEY HOOKED THE ENGINE WITH THE COMPUTER BUT DIDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. I FEAR THIS WILL HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE AND MAY CAUSE LIFE THREATEN SITUATION. *TR

TIRES
ON 5/30/07 I LEASED A 2007 TOYOTA COROLLA, IT CAME EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR INTEGRITY TIRES P185/65R15 . ON 7/21/07 I WENT TO THE DEALER & TOLD THEM I WAS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR RETENTION IN THE TIRES. IT HAD BECOME NECESSARY WITH THIS CAR & THESE GOODYEAR INTEGRITY TIRES TO CHECK THE TIRES WEEKLY & ADD AIR AT THAT SAME TIME. I ALSO STRONGLY FELT THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM EITHER WITH THE TIRES OR THE VALVE STEMS & ASKED THAT THEY CHECK THEM. THEY CHECKED THE TIRES & INFORMED ME THAT EVERYTHING WAS FINE, MILEAGE AT THAT TIME WAS 503 MILES. SINCE I CONTINUE TO FEEL UNSAFE WITH THESE TIRES EVERY TIME I GO OUT I CHECK THE TIRES & PUT THE REQUIRED AIR IN. ON 8/17/07 I CONTACTED GOODYEAR & EXPLAINED IN DETAIL THE SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THESE TIRES OR THEIR MANUFACTURE GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER 918405 & SENT ME TO THE NEAREST GOODYEAR STORE TO HAVE THE TIRES & VALVE STEMS CHECKED. THE SERVICE PERSON AT THE STORE TOLD ME EVERYTHING WAS FINE WITH THE TIRES & ASKED WHAT TYPE OF A TIRE GAUGE I WAS USING & SOMETIMES THEY ARE NOT ACCURATE. AT 67 YRS OF AGE I KNOW HOW TO CHECK TIRE PRESSURE & I CAN ALSO TELL BY THE WAY THE CAR DRIVES, HANDLES, & STOPS THAT THE TIRES ARE NOT AT THE RECOMMENDED AIR PRESSURE. I DON'T DO A LOT OF DRIVING (MILEAGE NOW 956) BUT WHEN I GO BACK TO WORK I WANT TO FEEL SAFE WHILE DRIVING. I AM TERRIFIED WHEN I DRIVE THIS CAR SINCE I FEEL IT HAS EXTREME SAFETY ISSUES WHERE THESE TIRES ARE CONCERNED & I DO NOT WANT TO BECOME A STATISTIC NOR DO I WANT TO KILL SOMEONE. I AM GETTING NOWHERE WITH THE TOYOTA DEALER OR GOODYEAR THE "OLD BOY'S CLUB" STICK TOGETHER. THERE IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH THESE TIRES & IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED EITHER BY THE TOYOTA COMPANY, DEALER OR GOODYEAR BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *JB

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE A 2005 COROLLA S. IT HAD A REALLY BAD VIBRATION IN THE DASH AND COULD NOT BE DETECTED. THE DEALER REMOVED THE DASH NUMEROUS TIMES OVER A 7 WEEK PERIOD. THE VIBRATION WAS FINALLY LOCATED IN THE PILLAR(IT WAS THE DRAIN PIPE FOR THE SUNROOF). THE DASH NOW HAS A VIBRATION THAT AT 70 MPH SOUNDS LIKE A LOUD WHISTLE- VERY ANNOYING. THE DEALER WILL NOT WORK ON IT BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL 36,000 MILE WARRANTY IS PAST. I BELIEVE THAT THE ROSEBURG OREGON DEALER SHOULD STAND BEHIND THE FACT THAT THEY REMOVED THE DASH ENOUGH TO CAUSE THIS VIBRATION. *JB

AIR BAGS
I WAS IN A ACIDENT LAST WEEK, SOMEONE TURNED LEFT IN FRONT OF ME. WE WERE GOING STRAIGHT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. OUR AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, A NUMBER OF PEOPLE (RESCURE PERSONAL, AUTO REPAIR SHOP) ALL MENTIONED THAT WERE SURPRISED THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. WE WERE GOING AROUND 15 TO 20 MPH, I AM NOT SURE IF THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS OR IF THE BAGS SHOULD HAVE GONE OFF OR IT THIS IS THE CORRECT PLACE TO REPORT IT. ALL I CAN SAY THANKS FOR SEAT BELTS, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN JUST MORE THAN JUST BRUSING. SINCERELY, *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY COROLLA IS A 2006 WITH ONLY 14,000 MILES.THE ENGINE COMPUTER WENT OUT AT 13,000 MILES ABOUT 5 WEEKS AGO. MY CAR STAYED IN THE SHOP AT THOMASVILLE GEORGIA TOYOTA FOR TWO WEEKS. I GOT IT BACK AND DROVE IT TWO WEEKS AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I CUT IT OFF AND RECRANKED IT AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY CAN'T GET IT TO DO IT AGAIN. THEY KEPT IT ANOTHER WEEK AND DID NOTHING TO FIX IT. I CANNOT EVEN GO ON VACATION OR LET MY DAUGHTER TAKE IT TO COLLEGE FOR FEAR THAT IT WILL BREAK DOWN AGAIN AND LEAVE HER STRANDED ON A DESOLATE ROAD IN DANGER FOR HER LIFE. THE DEALER ADMITTED THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS AND I KNOW IT HAPPENED IN 2001 CORROLLAS ALSO. THE CAR IS 14 MONTHS OLD WITH 14,600 MILES ON IT.I WANT THE CAR REPLACED OR BOUGHT BACK.I OWE AROUND 13,000 ON THE CAR AND THEY ONLY OFFERED ME 11,000 ON A TRADE IN. YET THEY ARE SELLING ONE JUST LIKE MINE WITH MORE MILES FOR 15,788.THEY ARE TRYING TO ROB ME BLIND.THIS IS VERY CROOKED DISHONORABLE BUSINESS PRACTICES. THE CAR IS USELESS TO ME TO LEAVE TOWN AND VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE CAR GETS VERY HARD TO STEER AND WILL BARELY RUN 2 MPH. PLEASE HELP ME. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW FOR MY DAUGHTER. *TR
