| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2005 toyota sienna limited minivan. came with runflat tires (no option) and tire pressure measuring system. problem is that even with complete flat (0 psi) the system is not informing the driver. since the tires are run flat they look no different and my wife is driving around at highway speeds with a dangerous tire and no way to know it. toyotas response is to check tire pressure regularly. well that's fine, but still if you get a flat and drive all the way home on the interstate at 65+ mph it's not within the ratings on the tire which says specifically not to run the runflat tires over 55mph. on top of that we have one tire almost worn out already due to running low on pressure. multiple complaints like this are noted on internet web sites - toyota needs to issue a recall and fix this problem as many of us with young children bought this vehicle in large part for safety reasons and it is not safe! the tire pressure system is defective, and does not work at all. toyota is unwilling to fix it and so help me if anything ever happens i'll see them in court. |
