Recently reported WHEELS problems on 2011 Toyota Sienna

The van has extreme outer tire wear on the front of the vehicle. driver's side front seems to be to worst. tires are being rotated at recommended intervals (5000-6000mi) and an alignment check and adjustment is done at the same time. 60,000mi rated tires are lasting 10,000-15,000mi before requiring replacement and causing very poor turning/steering, excessive steering wheel vibration and pull, and dramatically increased hydroplaning in mild rain conditions.

Tires on this vehicle are experiencing excessive tire wear. i bought the vehicle used, but it had a new set of tires on it. the tires had to be replaced at about 18,000 miles due to excessive wear on the outside tread of the tires. the following is a video i posted on youtube describing the problem: https://youtu.be/2eok7u3raym

Tires worn out so quickly, i have 94,500 miles & this is my third set. tires stay good for only 20,000/25,000 miles. i do regularly tier rotate, balancing & alignment but still worn out. i am using michelin primacy mxv4(same kind of tiers) when i bought car, all time. it's seems toyota had bad design so tires worn out so frequently. i went on cargurus.com & saw lots of similar kind of complains.

We purchased our sienna feb 2015 from a dealer. in may 2016 we were informed our tires had worn on the inside and they needed to be replaced and an alignment needed to be done. we did both as recommended. in september 2016 we were told that our tires were feathering due to an alignment issue, so again the van as aligned. the tires are balanced and rotated per the recommended time frame. i took my van in june 2017 to the dealer to have an oil change done and was informed that i will need new tires soon. these are michelin tires which are 60,000 tires. they currently have 25,859 miles on them. the tires measured 4/32, 5/32, 5/32, and 5/32. i have had another alignment done in june. we are now looking into another set of tires since we will be moving next year and have little ones in the car to keep safe. i have read so many forums that state the exact same issue we are having. that the toyota sienna eats through tires. i was very unhappy with the dealer ship when i questioned them why this is happening. i was basically told ...

Tires wear out very quickly. i'm on my 3rd set of tires and only have 75706 miles.

Apparently, there has been two recalls involving the toyota sienna 2011. however, the system show that the recall is still incomplete, or, otherwise, not available to offer a remedy or repairs. what are my next steps? should i take my car to the dealer for inspection and repairs? should i sell my vehicle? can i be reimbursed by toyota for having my car repaired elsewhere?

I received two letters in the mail for safety recalls on my takata front passenger airbag inflator (zone a) as well as excessive corrosion of the spare tire carrier cable. i tried contacting two dealerships near me, and they did not try to meet basic safety standards. the dealerships told me that i must wait several months to solve my issues or that they would call me back soon (and of course, they didn't). the nearest one to me, bredemann dealership @ (847) 655-1435, told me that i must wait three months for supplies to come in. my life and safety are on the line, and i do not want to put myself in danger because of a dealership's lack of customer service and meeting basic safety standards.
