SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING I SUDDENLY STARTED TO HEAR GRINDING ON THE FRONT ON BRAKING. IMMEDIATELY I ASSUMED ISSUES WITH BREAK PADS BUT PREVIOUS TO THIS THERE WAS NO WARNING OF ANY KIND FORM THE CAR SENSORS OR FROM A PREVIOUS SERVICE. FORTUNATELY I WAS CLOSE TO HOME AND A REPAIR SHOP. ASSUMING WORN BREAK PADS, I HAD ALL PADS REPLACED ON INSPECTING THE PADS IT WAS CLEAR THAT THERE WAS SOME QUALITY ISSUE TO ONE SET OF FRONT PADS AS ALL OTHER PADS WERE OF SAFE. IT SEEMS THAT THE PAD UNDER QUESTION BROKE APART WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. I BELIEVE THIS IS PRODUCT QUALITY ISSUE. I HAVE RETAIN ALL THE PADS FOR INSPECTION OF REQUIRED.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE ON A RAINY, COOL DAY WHEN I HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION. THINKING IT WAS A GUNSHOT, I LIKED AROUND THE VEHICLE TO MAKE SURE PASSENGER WAS OK. I HEARD A WINDY SOUND AND OPENED THE SUNROOF COVER PANEL TO SEE THAT MY ENTIRE SUNROOF IS CRACKED TO PIECES. I RUSHED HOME AND ONCE EXITING THE CAR, I NOTICE THE GLASS ON THE SUNROOF LOOKS TO HAVE EXPLODED OUTWARDS. IT IS COMPLETELY DESTROYED WITH NO SIGNS OF IMPACT OR DAMAGE CAUSED BY DRIVING. IT WAS COMPLETELY EXPLODED FROM THE INSIDE OUT.

STRUCTURE:BODY, SERVICE BRAKES
VEHICLE HAD AN UNINTENTIONAL BRAKING INCIDENT RELATED TO THE FACTORY SAFETY SYSTEMS WHICH CAUSED PROPERTY DAMAGE. OF CONCERN IS THAT ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER WHO READ THE EDR, THERE WAS NO RECORDED EVENT THEREFORE THEY ARE DENYING THAT AN UNINTENTIONAL BRAKING EVENT OCCURRED. I WAS NOT PRESENT AT THE DEALERSHIP WHEN THEY DOWNLOADED THE DATA HOWEVER THEY LEFT A THUMB DRIVE IN THE CAR WHICH ALLEGEDLY CONTAINS THE DATA THEY PULLED FROM THE CAR. WHEN THE EVENT OCCURRED, THE CAR WAS ON THE TRACK OF AN AUTOMATIC CAR WASH BEING PUSHED ALONG BY ROLLERS UNDER THE WHEELS WHILE IN NEUTRAL. THE SPEED WAS LIKELY 2-3 MPH. WHEN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WENT UNDER A CURTAIN OF SWAYING CLOTH STRIPS, ALARMS WENT OFF IN THE VEHICLE, LARGE ILLUMINATED LETTERS THAT SAID BRAKE APPEARED IN THE INSTRUMENT DISPLAY, IT BRAKED BY ITSELF CAUSING IT TO COME OFF OF THE TRACK ROLLERS AND THE CONVEYER PULLED THE VEHICLE BEHIND INTO THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE CAUSING DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES. THE OWNERS MANUAL LISTS AUTOMATIC CAR WASH AS A SITUATION WHEN THE SYSTEM MAY ACTIVATE (ALONG WITH PASSING OTHER VEHICLES, GOING UNDER HIGHWAY SIGNS AND ABOUT 20 OTHER COMMON EVERYDAY SITUATIONS WHERE ONE WOULD BE UNABLE TO DEACTIVATE THE SYSTEMS PRIOR TO THE SITUATION). THE OWNERS MANUAL DOES NOT TELL YOU TO DISABLE THE SYSTEM WHEN IN AN AUTOMATIC CAR WASH. TOYOTA DENIES ANY LIABILITY DUE TO THE EDR NOT RECORDING THE EVENT ALTHOUGH THEY IDENTIFIED THAT IT WOULD AND SHOULD HAVE IF IT OCCURRED. THERE CLEARLY IS A PROBLEM WITH THE EDR RECORDING PROPERLY IF IT IS NOT RECORDING WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO. THE DATA ON THE THUMB DRIVE IS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. THE DEALER IDENTIFIED WHEN THE CLAIM WAS FILED THAT TOYOTA HAS A UNIT DEDICATED SPECIFICALLY TO UNINTENTIONAL BRAKING, SAME AS THEY DO FOR THE UNINTENTIONAL ACCELERATION PROBLEMS THEIR VEHICLES EXPERIENCED SO CLEARLY THEY ARE AWARE OF POTENTIAL PROBLEMS. *TR

WHEELS
THIS CAR TIRE WAS CHANGED WITH PRIMEWELL PS830/850 & IT HAS 40000 MILES OF WARRANTY. TIRE WAS REPLACED IN 2012. AT THE TIME CAR MILLAGE WAS 47282. NOW THE 2 TIRES ARE WORN OUT COMPLETELY & 1 TIRE IS SEPARATING OUT. I HAVE TO REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES TODAY. TODAY MILLAGE OF THE CAR IS 80270 WHICH IS LESS THAN 40000 MILES. THIS TIRES ARE NOT GOOD FOR DRIVE & IT WILL CREATE SAFETY HAZARD. WHEN I CALLED PRIMEWELL THEY TOLD ME THAT TIRE HAS ONLY 5 YEARS OF WARRANTY, IF THEY GIVE ONLY 40K OR 5 YEARS OF WARRANTY THEN WHY NOT THEY WRITE IT DOWN IN TIRES. TODAY I REPLACED TIRES FROM FIRESTONE MOORESVILLE, NC 28117. SO I REQUEST YOU TO DO MORE INVESTIGATION ABOUT IT & PLEASE TAKE APPROPRIATE AN ACTIONS. I AM ATTACHING WHEN 1ST TIME TIRE WAS INSTALLED FIRESTONE COPY & TODAY I REPLACED WITH SAME TYPE OF TIRE COPY. ALSO ATTACHED PHOTOS OF SEPARATING TIRES COPY. FIRESONE GUYS TOLD ME THAT THEY WILL TRY TO KEEP THOSE TIRE FOR AROUND WEEK. SO PLEASE TRY TO SEE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTION. THANK YOU,
