10/19-left rear tire kept loosing pressure, I took it to the mechanic, they couldn't find anything, I again took it after 2 weeks, they changed the tire. Miles 7014. On 9/26/20-miles 16430, the same tire left passenger blew out on the freeway. No indicator of tire pressure being low came on. The tire was completely blown out. I lost control of the car, thankfully it stopped on left side. It was very scary. No was hurt, but I could have died. I was driving about 70mph.

2 Toyota complaints: 1) my 2019 Prius prime 11,597 miles: On hwy 85 South 11/27 10:30pm got flat tire & drove to side lane on hwy. Called Toyota tow service @ 10:37pm which is in Georgia not calif. Tow not show until 1:16am 11/27 and towed car to dealer. It took 20 min. For call center in Georgia to initiate tow 2) the Prius prime does not come with a spare tire but has a tire puncture repair kit. My tire beyond puncture repair. A car with no spare tire of any kind is extremely dangerous situation for anyone. 2019 Prius primes don't come with spare tire. This hazard feature needs to change. I have expended warranty and service contract and tire was not covered so besides the unsafe condition my husband endured we also got a bill for $168.19 to replace and install the damaged tire. I will write to Toyota roadside assist. Regarding Georgia center dispatching tows in calif.? & Toyota to complain about no spare tire and a design instead of lift back maybe side opening like Jeep so spare tire can go on back like Jeep spare. I have read on yelp about other Toyota owners complaining about no spare tire.

Car had 27540 miles on factory original toyo nanoenergy tires when the rear passenger tire blew out. I was 22 miles into my drive home. No tps warning and I had visually looked at my tires before heading home. The entire tread separated from the sidewalls. The sidewalls stayed with the rim and I was able to safely stop the car on the grass median. This type of sidewall blowout has never happened in all my years of driving. I was on us-321 North bound just after the hardin rd exit going 70 mph at time of blowout. Not in a turn but nearly straight line driving. Weather was mostly sunny and 65 degrees.
