Problems with 2010 Toyota Camry TIRES

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 toyota camry equipped with federal super steel tires. while driving approximately 55 mph, the front passenger side tire fell apart, the fender loosened, and all the sensor wires disconnected from underneath the vehicle. the vehicle was towed to a mechanic who diagnosed that the tire was defective. the tire size was unknown. the approximate tire and vehicle failure mileage was 90,000.

On or about the above date of april 15, 2015 i washed my 2010 toyota camry at a local car wash using their automated high pressure wash and wax. a few days afterward i realized the center trunk area, that holds the spare tire, held 2 to 3 inches of water, and the right side of the trunk also had water. i have read post after post online stating many other toyota owners had the same problem, and some have stated the rear window and body panels were not securely sealed from the outside elements when the vehicle was assembled at the factory. in june of 2014 water was getting inside on the carpet on the driver and passenger side soaking the carpet completely. the air conditioner condensation drainage tube had plugged up underneath the vehicle that caused the interior by the driver and passenger side to be soaked in water. there is no evidence whatsoever that this vehicle was ever involved in an accident. the odometer just recently turned over 45,145 miles. now, there is already an indication of mold, and mold can be deadly. *tr

In late 2009, i purchased a new 2010 camry hybrid. the vehicle came with bridgestone turanza tires. i have just had to replace these tires after 2.5 years and only 19,700 miles. the front tires were 4/32 and right at the wear mark, the rear at 6/32. the worn tire treads became evident with the first chicago snow. at 10 miles per hour, i was sliding as i drove home and, at one point, had to skid into a curb in order to stop the vehicle so as not to slide into oncoming traffic in a crowded intersection. fortunately, there was no accident and no damage to my vehicle or other property. i contacted the dealer (from whom i purchased the car) to complain. he told me the tires were guaranteed for five years but had no estimated mileage, which is hard to believe. i also contacted another toyota dealer and was told that these tires last no more than 25,000 miles. i spoke with a bridgestone dealer and was told 40,000 miles. i have changed the oil on my car regularly and also had my tires rotated every six months (my car has very low mileage to date). it is evident that bridgestone turanza tires do not meet even the minimum endurance requirements.

I have a 2010 toyota camry. when i reached 70 mph while driving my steering wheel would vibrate very badly. when i took my car in for an oil change and tire rotation, i was told that the vibration is coming from the tires and that the steel mesh was coming through my two front tires and that if i didn't get new tires immediately it was a safety hazard and i could experience a blowout in the very near future. i ended up getting 2 new tires, and my 2 back tires will also need to be replaced soon as they were showing signs of the same problem. *tr

2010 toyota camry right front tire was completely worn down to the mesh, left front tire was still full of tread, advised toyota of issue, they refused to replace. local tire company stated this should not have occurred. *tr

I have a 2010 camry le which i purchased three weeks ago. the car has bridgestone turanza el 400-02 tires, which had 689 miles on them. the rear driver side tire failed at 60 mph when the tread split. after reading all the similar complaints by other toyota car owners, i believe these tires are dangerous. after a very ugly discussion with the dealership, the one tire was replaced, but toyota would not replace the remaining three. *tr

I bought a brand new 2010 camry le (4 cylinder), and it has already been through the set of factory-installed tires, another set of four michelin tires, a third set of four, and 2 more tires as of 10/27/2013, although the vehicle only now has approximately 74,000 miles on it. the tires curiously go uniformly bald on the front in less than 1/3rd of the life of the tire. each company from which i have purchased new michelin or bfgoodrich tires for this camry said this is highly unusual. they stated that the tires should not ordinarily be uniformly bald or be worn out so quickly. they have also stated that the vehicle must have come out of the factory aligned this way, since the first pair was useless after so few miles and the new tires are wearing out so quickly. moreover, there are electrical problems with the ac system controls and the sensor on the driver's side power window. the ac mysteriously turns its recycled air switch from recycled to vent (without being pressed to make the switch) while driving. also, the driver's side power window will go nearly all the way up (when pressed), but it stops short of the top and then rolls itself back down. the service manager at robbin's toyota said his mechanics could not get these problems to re-occur when driven, and therefore, he could not and would not fix the two issues, although the vehicle was under warranty at the time. finally, i cannot remove the oil filter canister for a home-oil change. i've used the oem filter cap wrench, but i am unable to get the canister housing to turn, which makes it impossible to change the oil filter at home. this was the first toyota i've owned, and it will be the last. *tr

Purchased 2010 toyota camry in 12/10/09. car/tire was wobbling, felt that alignment was out. i took vehicle to dealer on 12/21/09. i was told that one of the tires was off. dealer service just rebalanced rear passenger tire and inflated well beyond required psi's. car continued to wobble, and drive with a distortion in ride and have to hold steering wheel to the left to keep the car straight. went back for service on 1/23/10. again, service admitted radial pull. they rebalance the wheels, and realigned the car and that didn't correct the problem. dealer put 4 new tires and realigned. problem continued. car is not sitting on the frame properly but service will not admit it. took car to service again on 2/13/10. again a 4 wheel alignment was performed and didn't fix the problem. took to service again 3/8/10 complained that car isn't driving properly, i have to hold my steering wheel a certain way to keep the car driving straight. went for a test drive due to the distortion, wobbling of car and was told that toyota tires roll from left to right. incredible! the car accelerates when coming to a stop and steering wheel is turned to the left to go straight. one side of the car is higher than the other. when i asked what was done to the car, i was told that they made some adjustments and was dismissed. people driving behind me flash their lights at me and i've been stopped and told that my car is crooked . i can feel it and see the same thing. service inflated my tires to over 42psi's. that's too much air. this car is still drifting to the right or left depending upon which way the tires are moving from "left to right", in which i was told this is a toyota thing. insulting! i feel this was done in order to mask whatever the real problem is. i traded a 2004 camry that had the same issues. i had over 30 alignments, 4 brake jobs, a steering shaft replaced and 4 sets of tires in 4 yrs. i have documentation on that car. this car is doing the same thing. feel unsafe. *tr
