ALL FOUR TIRES DEFECTIVE AND DANGEROUS 1.On February 10, 2020 we purchased four Goodyear Assurance Weatherready tires from Riverside Garage (19 East Ave., Riverside, 60546 708-447-7221 (see attached receipt) 2.On August 5, 2022 the rear/driver's side tire went flat in Springfield, Illinois during a family visit. We were unable to reinflate the tire. Discount Tire inspected it and found a 12 inch or greater slit and a 1-1/2 inch slit on the inside wall of the tire (see attached photos). The slits revealed white...

mesh inner membrane. It was unsafe to use, so Discount Tire replaced it. 3.On August 7, 2022, while on route back to Riverside, Illinois from Springfield, Illinois on Interstate 55 we observed a "low tire" light another Assurance tires at rear/passenger side tire. 4.On August 8, 2022 Riverside Garage inspected the rear/passenger tire to find a 1-1/2 inch slit on the inside wall of the tire, which was similarly situated as the other tire. It also revealed an interior mesh membrane similar to the other flat tire. Further inspection of the remaining two tires showed faint "lines" similarly positioned across the inside walls of the remaining front two tires. The tires are preserved at the garage for inspection. 5.On August 10, 2022, the three remaining Goodyear Assurance Weatherready tires were replaced with Goodyear Eagle tires. It is very likely that all of these tires were dangerously defective on manufacture and that others are probably in us. This incident occurred about 2 years post purchase, meaning that other who bought similar tires will begin to experience blowouts and accident in the same time span. Please take action to protect others from blowouts on these defective tires.

Takata recall it was raining I was coming out of antloch church rd to turning on augusta rd peidmont sc 29673 when I hear a big boom and pull over at the spinx to see what it was and had three big potholes in the road I could see that my wheels was bent and also it was pulling to the right.
In the last 30 days the chrome on the inside of 2 wheels where the tires bead seals has shown to be defective and the tires will not hold air. I am afraid of the tires bead that seals against this part of the rim losing air at a high rate when driving at highway speeds or, going around a curve. So far the flats have accrued once in the garage and the other at a slow speed. I would guess the 2 remaining wheels are suffering the same defect and will show up soon. The chrome wheels came with the car and are a...

lexus product. Not a after market wheel. I have owned the car sense new. I can not find any recall or, mention of this problem. The repair shop said this is fairly common whit chrome wheels. The repair shop ground the bad spots down and put a sealer on the rim. They would not say how long it would last. I would think anything to do with wheels or, tires would be of great concern. *Tr
The wheels on this car accumlate corrosion and cause the tires to go flat while driving. Lexus doesn't seem concerned with this defect. *Tr
1. Salt and winter conditions are the events leading up to the failure. 2. The failure is the flaking and pitting of chrome wheels due to apparent inappropriate chroming process. 3. Lexus replaced the 4 wheels in 2006, but unfortunately with another set of chrome wheels that began noticeably displayed pitting and flaking in 2009. *Tr
I purchased a certified pre-owned 2006 lexus 430, including 2 additional warranties, from lexus chandler in may 2009 upon which I experience an inability to start and unlock the steering wheel eight times within the first two months and intermittently months after. If I sit for an hour the system will unlock itself and will start. Dealer refuses to involve itself and claims it is unable to repair. I took to another dealer which stated they could disconnect the anti-lock mechanism but then the car would not have...

any security functions. I have contacted the state attorney generals office which they have contacted the dealer but no resolution has been provided at this time. I have written a letter to my senator, john mccain, about the issue and am waiting a response. I feel this is a safety concern since it leaves me stranded. Updated 04/09/10. *Lj the consumer also stated the vehicle needed a new battery and tires. Updated 09/21/10

Tl*the contact owns a 2002 lexus ls430. The contact stated that the tire made a squeaking noise after it was replaced. The noise was caused by loose bolts. The noise recurred two months ago and could possibly result from a manufacturer defect with the tire bolts and the wheel assembly. The vehicle would shake very violently while driving various speeds. The contact pulled over and noticed all of the bolts and nuts on the ground. He has paid $3,000 in repair costs. The failure mileage was 72,000 and current mileage was 77,000.
On 9/6/2007 I had a flat tire. I took it to the tire place, I bought a new tire that they installed. As I drove away I heard a clicking sound and I went back to the store. Two studs were backed up a little and loosened the nuts. On 11/23/2007 I had to replace two tires. I tightened the studs. I drove several hundred miles and then on 11/29/2007 I was on the freeway and suddenly the car was shaking and hard to control. I reduced speed and pulled onto the shoulder. I called for a tow truck and towed the car to the...

Failure or non-function of tire pressure monitoring system without a warning resulting in blowout of tire and near lose of control. *Nm
No specific event took place fortunately. As a result of the complaint I wish to bring to your attention, however, significant safety issues do result from the problem! The "run-flat" tires used by lexus sc430 are a catastrophe. They are so firm that all road forces are transmitted to wheel rims and tire sidewalls with the result that wheel rims are easily bent and tire sidewalls are damaged. This severely affects vehicular handling and maneuverability, creating dangerous situations at highway speeds, etc. ...

The damage has resulted form ordinary and usual road surface irregularities and occur readily despite continual vigilance to avoid wintertime potholes and other pavement irregularities. I have had continuing negative experience with numerous replacements of wheel and tires, in spite of low mileage and cautious driving habits. *Nm
