My tires were rotated by discount tires ([redacted]., ocnsd, ca). They did not tighten all the lugs on my right driver side tire and it flew off when i was driving and badly damaged my car. They are denying all responsibility and assume that the lugs are either tightened fully or not at all. I located all the lugs and only one sheared off the stuff. Also the safety stud was not tightened. Please investigate them to…

There is a considerable amount of rust underneath my truck, despite the frame being replaced from a voluntary recall. The tire pressure monitoring system has deteriorated from rust and is no longer functioning.

All four rims are the alloy wheel . They are all blistering and pieces of rims are falling out. Called toyota they told in short there is no recall on them and there is nothing they can do. They also would not comment if there were others complaints on the rims. They told me there is nothing they will do until they are in recall. *tr

Wheel corrosion on my 2006 toyota tundra 4d v8. Dealer had the wheels replaced about 2 yrs. Ago (still under warranty at that time). Now having the exact same problem or bubbling/corrosion under the sealant/paint with the new wheels and being told, "sorry, they're out of warranty". Would appear to be an obvious manufacturing process defect to me that would lead to eventual lack of structural integrity. *tr

I feel this is not an isolated case and can lead to catastrophic failure of the alloy wheels on toyota trucks causing serious injury and possible death to driver and/or passengers. Alloy wheels are corroding with only 40,000 miles and toyota won't even call me back. Service manager at northshore toyota in louisiana said it was due to extreme use. This was after a 30 second inspection. When i asked to speak with a…
