TIRES
THIS COMPLAINT IS BASED ON MULTIPLE REPLACEMENTS AND REPAIRS, AN ABNORMALLY QUICK/CONSTANT LOSS OF TIRE PRESSURE, AND A DISASTROUS BLOWOUT THAT CAUSED ME TO MISS MY FATHERS DEATH BY 1.5 HOURS. I PURCHASED 4 ARIZONIAN SILVER EDITION PLUS TIRES ON MAY 22ND FROM DISCOUNT TIRE. IT DIDNT TAKE LONG FOR THE TIRES TO LOSE AIR. ON JULY 2, ONE OF MY TIRES WENT FLAT. ON JULY 5, DISCOUNT TIRE REPLACED THE FLAT TIRE AS WELL AS A SECOND TIRE. ON SEPTEMBER 6, I NOTICED A TIRE WAS LOW AGAIN. WHEN I WENT TO DISCOUNT TIRE, THE EMPLOYEE TOLD ME THAT MY AIR VALVE WAS LOOSE, BUT THAT THEY HAD INFLATED THE TIRE TO ITS PROPER PRESSURE LEVEL AND INSPECTED THE OTHER TIRES AS WELL. ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2018, I WAS DRIVING TO THE DENVER AIRPORT AFTER FINDING OUT THAT MY DAD WAS IN CRITICAL CONDITION IN AUSTIN, TX. AT 12:00 PM MT, WHEN I WAS DRIVING SOUTHBOUND ON THE E-470 TOLL ABOUT TO EXIT FOR DENVER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (EXIT 28), MY REAR PASSENGER TIRE COMPLETELY BLEW OUT. I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING. I WAS NOT SPEEDING NOR DRIVING ERRATICALLY. I WAS 10 MINUTES AWAY FROM THE AIRPORT. I MISSED MY FLIGHT. I HAD TO WAIT AN ADDITIONAL 6 HOURS TO GET ON THE NEXT FLIGHT. I ARRIVED IN AUSTIN AT 10:45 PM CST. UPON LANDING, I DISCOVERED THAT MY DAD PASSED AWAY 1.5 HOURS EARLIER. I WAS DEPRIVED OF THE CHANCE TO SEE MY FATHER ONE LAST TIME BY A MATTER OF 10 MINUTES, WHICH WAS HOW FAR I WAS FROM THE AIRPORT WHEN MY TIRE BLEW OUT. ITS NOT A HYPERBOLE TO SAY THAT THIS SITUATION WAS THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. BUT FOR THE BLOW OUT, I WOULDVE BEEN ON TIME FOR THE 1:55 PM FLIGHT AND WOULD HAVE MADE IT TO SEE MY DAD BEFORE HIS DEATH. WHEN I WENT TO DISCOUNT TIRE ON SEPTEMBER 24, 2018 FOR A TIRE REPLACEMENT, I WAS TOLD BY THE EMPLOYEES THAT UPON EXAMINING THE BLOWN-OUT TIRE, THERE WAS NO INDICATIVE REASON AS TO WHY THE TIRE BLEW OUT. THESE TIRES WERE DEFECTIVE, CAUSING A CATASTROPHIC LIFE EVENT FOR ME.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 5:45 A.M., NO CARS IN SIGHT, I HEAR A LOUD NOISE SUCH AS THAT YOU WOULD HEAR FROM A GUNSHOT. STARTLED, I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY TO ASSESS THE SITUATION. MY SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED WITHOUT CAUSE. IT LOOKED AS IF IT WAS BLOWN OUT FROM THE INSIDE. LUCKILY FOR ME, THE COVER WAS CLOSED SO NO GLASS HAD FALLEN INSIDE THE CABIN. WITH NO CARS IN SIGHT, I QUICKLY DISMISSED THE IDEA THAT IT WAS A ROCK OR ROAD DEBRIS. IT JUST RANDOMLY EXPLODED WITHOUT WARNING. THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WAS 46F AND THE DIGITAL CLIMATE CONTROL WAS SET TO 72F. I AM VERY THANKFUL THAT MY TWO YEAR OLD SON WAS NOT IN THE CAR AS THE NOISE WAS VERY LOUD.

ON FRIDAY JULY 13TH I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT IN A PRIVATE LOT WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, WITH MY FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE MY CAR SUDDENLY AND VIOLENTLY ACCELERATED, FOR A SECOND OR TWO HITTING A VAN DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME AND ALSO THE SUV TO THE LEFT OF THE VAN DAMAGING THE RIGHT BACK BUMPER. THE VAN WAS HIT SO HARD, IT WAS PUSHED ABOUT 20 FEET HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE AND ROLLED BACK HITTING MY CAR. THE VAN WAS IN PARK, WHICH CAUSED TRANSMISSION DAMAGE, AND NOT SURE WHAT OTHER DAMAGE IT HAD. TOYOTA WAS CALLED AND THEY SENT A REPRESENTATIVE OUT TO EXAM THE CAR AND DO SOME DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THAT WAS ON JULY 25TH..IT CAN TAKE UP TO A MONTH TO GET THOSE RESULTS . I WILL NOT DRIVE THIS CAR SINCE THIS HAPPENED. AS FAR AS I CAN SEE, THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR.

ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING DOWN 15TH STREET HEADED TO MCALISTER'S ON JULY 9, 2018. IT WAS RAINING REALLY HARD. I WAS IN THE LANE CLOSEST TO CENTRAL AND MONISH PARK. WHEN I CAME UP ON CHECKERS THE WATER WAS EXTREMELY HIGH AND PROCEEDED TO COVER THE FRONT PART OF MY HOOD. I DROVE THROUGH IT AND REACHED MY DESTINATION. I NOTICED THE NEXT DAY THAT MY AIR WAS NOT BLOWING OUT COLD, BUT WARM AIR. MY HORN SOUNDED REALLY FUNNY WHEN IT WAS BLOWN. I FIGURED WATER MUST HAVE AFFECTED IT BECAUSE MY CAR WAS FINE BEFORE THEN. I GOT MY CAR CHECKED OUT ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT BOTH COOLING FANS HAD DETACHED AWAY FROM THE MOTOR.
