2017 Toyota RAV4 Owner Comments

RAV4

  • 24,000 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

I was driving on I 10 southbound with my two disabled children. My front driver's side tire blew out the sidewall in 1-2 inch chunks. It sounded like machine gun fire. I had to safely coast to the shoulder holding my steering wheel firmly and putting my car in neutral. I had air checks and balancing regularly. I keep my car in a garage with low mileage. Discount tires checked my tires on three occassions and told me to go to Toyota dealership for help. Their customer service was rude and dismissed my concerns completely making it sound like my tires were wearing at a normal rate, which is not true. I asked them to help me reach out to the tire manufacturer and/or help me determine if my new Rav4 came to me with it's original tires off the lot. They dismissed me and I will never go back to Toyota to purchase a new car again. Beware, once they have your money, it seems they no longer care about you after the initial sale. I am uncertain if this is the case with all Toyota dealerships, or just ours in tucson, AZ, but please, buyers beware! they endangered me and my children and refused to admit there is an issue with this problem. The road I travelled was smooth, I was traveling at 65mph, and I did not hit anything in the road. My spine is a wreck from the jarring... legs are bruised up, too. Thankfully a state trooper assisted us. State farm roadside assistance was absolutely botched up by their automated system and dispatched to somewhere in phoenix. So grateful for the state trooper and discount tires for their care. Toyota needs to take responsibility for this issue and the terrible tires. The manufacturer needs to know this is a problem. My last tires lasted to 60,000 miles. No reason I should have had to change all 4 tires on a new vehicle at 19,000-20,000 miles. I would like to know if there has been a safety recall on my vehicle. Toyota should pay for my tires.
