2010 Toyota Camry Tires Problems

While driving your 2010 Toyota Camry, you heard an unusual noise when pressing the brake pedal, and your tire pressure warning light came on. A mechanic found that both your regular brakes and parking brake had failed and needed replacement, and all four tires also needed to be replaced. After these parts were replaced, the vehicle was repaired. The repairs likely involved replacing worn brake pads, brake rotors, and all four tires.

All four of your tires are losing air, causing the car to wobble while driving. You've had to use a compressor to repeatedly add air to keep them inflated. A mechanic found a nail and cut in the front driver's side tire and patched it, while a Goodyear service center replaced that tire and adjusted all four tire pressures, but the problem happened again with all four tires losing air. The issue likely involves either a defect in the tires themselves, a problem with the tire valve stems, or damage to the wheel rims that's preventing a proper seal.

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.

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
