there is a spare tire recall on 2004-2011 toyota siennas. the "interim" fix removes the spare tire from underneath the vehicle and stores it in the passenger area. toyota has known about this problem since 2010. i bought this car for the extra cargo space and the seven passenger capability. now at best its a six passenger vehicle with a pretty big tire unsecured in the passenger/cargo area. the reason for this recall is that the spare tire had been suspended under the car and now it has been determined that the cable is deteriorated and could allow the spare tire to drop onto the road. it seems to me that toyota is in no hurry to make a permanent repair. in the event of really hard stop or collision this loose tire and wheel assembly could cause injury. *tr

I received a recall notice from toyota regarding cable corrosion for the spare tire assembly. i brought the car to the toyota dealer and they removed the cable and spare tire from under the car. i agreed to have this work completed based on an estimate from the dealer that the new parts to have the spare tire reinstalled would be made available within 4 wks. now about 7 wks have passed and there is still no word from toyota about when this spare tire solution will be made available. for 7 wks i have had to drive around with the spare tire the well of my toyota while it bangs around and takes up a lot of space. my storage in the car has been compromised and i have to put delicate things and groceries at other places in the car. it is imperative that toyota issue a permanent solution to this spare tire problem! *tr

215/65r-16 michelin defender sl; less 15k miles driven a cut through outer layers of sidewall and windings visible. thought it was likely some unnoticed road hazard until happened to second tire: again, do not recall any incident likely to have cut the tire. in 40+ years of driving, only these two sidewall cuts, on same make of tire, make me wonder if the compound is inherently weak. photo available of second cut. *tr

Michelin "hydroedge" xse tires. 90k mile warranty. after 30k miles there are deep dangerous seperations in the tread pattern on the shoulder at every single tread loop on all 4 tires.. reports say tires explode form loss of internal integrity and people have died in accidents caused from these blowouts. . web search confirms that there are many complaints and blowouts. tire shold be on a safety recall list but they are not. tires were so defective that michelin had to stop production. this is a safety hazard for blowouts. when will michelin be forced to recall these tires before someone else dies from a blow out???? when i attempted to fill out the rest of this form, the form would not allow me to enter the name for a tire line, "hydroedge" xse and the fact that all four (4) tires have the same defect. also two of my tires do not have any date stamp in the dot # area. how could this be?????
