| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Excessive front tire wear, said by toyota to be "inherent in a hybrid vehicle" but not advertised to purchasers anywhere in their sales brochures or warranty packet, is a safety hazard to anyone expecting tires to last more than 12,000 miles. toyota blames the tire manufacturer; bridgestone blames toyota. toyota also refuses to specify whether the 2004 model, which has substantially larger tires, will be any better. they simply won't admit that there is a problem. *jb |
