In 2017 while driving home from a restaurant with my husband, mother and sister when on highway 60 in Show Low Arizona we started experiencing a shaking which seemed to come from the from end of the truck. Since we were only a short distance from home we slowly made our way down the side road. As soon as we turned into our driveway the truck came to a quick stop. We jumped out and found that the passenger front tire and rim had separated from the truck. A full bed tow truck came and took the truck to Hatch Toyota in Show Low Arizona. The second incident occurred last year (2021) while we were moving to Sarcoxie Missouri. My husband was on Interstate 40 just east of Albuquerque when he experienced the truck shaking and upon immediately pulling off to the side of the road noted the left front wheel and rim had separated from the vehicle. The truck was taken to the Albuquerque Toyota for repair. I am having the rims replaced at this time as I understand that after-market rims may be the cause. I would really like to know for sure. I would not want to trade this truck in for fear of another family being harmed.

The contact owns a 2013 Toyota Tundra. While driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle vibrated without warning. The vehicle was taken to prime Toyota in lancaster, MA where it was diagnosed that the two front tires needed to be replaced. The tires were replaced, but the failure recurred a day later. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 52,500.

  • 34,000 miles
Took truck in at 14,000 miles with a distinct vibration to dealer where truck was leased. Truck was returned with tires rotated and tires rebalanced. This problem resurfaced again at 24,000 miles and truck again was taken back to dealer. I was notified by dealers rep. That I needed to buy 4 new tires to which I told dealer rep that this truck was a leased vehicle which I did not own and it was up to dealer to fix truck. I also got in tuch with the maker of the tire which was michilin tire who stated to me that the tire in question size P255/70R 18 had a 5 year 50,000 mile warrenty. Michilin asked me for the number to the dealer and said that they would get in touch with dealer to try to see what the problem was and work with dealer to fix the situation. I got in touch with dealer on the next business day and the service manager said that he had consulted michilin and Toyota and they had worked it out but also requested from me to give the truck a wheel alignment, which I agreed to. Wheni went to the dealer later that afternoon to pick up the truck I paid for the alignment on truck and talked with the service manager who eluded to me that he was telling me somthing that Toyota did not want the custerer to know and that was that Toyota was having truble with these trucks and that they were to heavy in the front end for the tires to sustain the weight but that my truck was ready and I assumed that 4 new tires had been put on the truck so I picked it up and drove opff. Now appoximately 3 weeks ago as I had just reached 34,000 miles on the vehicle the vibration started up again and again I consulted michilin and they asked me to go to an autherized michilin dealer to inspect the tire and truck suspension system. This was done and to my surprise I found out that the Toyota dealee had not replaced all 4 tires as indicated at 14,000 milles but only put on 2 tires.
