2015 Toyota Sienna

I HAVE A BRAND NEW TOYOTA SIENNA AND THE TIRES SEEM TO START SHOWING SIGN OF WEARING OFF IN 6 MONTHS, AS IF IT HAS ALIGNMENT ISSUES OR SOMETHING. THE CAR DOES NOT PULL TO ONE SIDE OR ANYTHING. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT IT COULD BE THE TIRE PRESSURE THAT NEEDS TO BE KEPT UP AND THEY SAID THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE INDICATOR IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO MAKE SURE IF THE PRESSURE IS GOOD? ALSO THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TIRES THESE DAYS ARE SOFTER SO THEY DON'T LAST AS LONG? THIS ALL SEEMS A LITTLE HARD FOR ME TO BELIEVE. OEM TIRE WARRANTY UP TO 60K BUT NOT LAST LONG . JUST CHANGE NEW SETS OF TIRE WITH ALIGNMENT . TOYOTA ENGINEERING NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE

VEHICLE WEARS THROUGH TIRES AT AN ALARMING RATE (APPROXIMATELY EVERY 15,000 MILES). VEHICLE HAS BEEN ALIGNED PRIOR TO NEW TIRE INSTALLATION EACH TIME; HOWEVER, TIRES WEAR ABNORMALLY FAST. DRIVING WAS UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS, HIGHWAY AND LOCAL STREETS. SEVERAL TIRE MANUFACTURES WERE TRIED, BUT ALL TIRE WEAR RESULTS WERE THE SAME.

EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR ON FRONT OUTSIDE TIRES. WHEELS/TIRES HAVE BEEN BALANCED AND ROTATED THEIR WHOLE LIFE. ALIGNMENT OF VEHICLE IS GOOD. TIRES HAVE BEEN CONSTANTLY MONITORED TO REMAIN THE RECOMMENDED PRESSURE OF 36 PSI. LIFESPAN OF TIRES IS SUPPOSED TO BE 60000-80000 MILES. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT 26000, AND TIRES ARE SHOT. THIS IS CLEARLY A FLAWED DESIGN. VEHICLE IS ADULT DRIVEN.

WE BOUGHT OUR 2015 TOYOTA SIENNA LE ALL-WHEEL DRIVE IN FEBRUARY 2015. AT 16,000 MILES, WE TOOK IT IN FOR MAINTENANCE BECAUSE IT WAS SHAKING DURING BRAKING. WE WERE INFORMED THAT THE ROTORS WERE WARPED AND NEEDING REPLACED. THEY WERE REPLACED. AT 22,000 MILES, THE WHEEL INFLATION SIGNAL KEEPS COMING ON EVERY OTHER DAY AFTER REFILLING AIR INTO ALL TIRES; WE INSPECTED THE TIRES AND FOUND THAT THE TWO REAR TIRES WERE VERY WORN ON THE INNER SIDE OF THE TIRES. WE TOOK IT TO SHEEHY TOYOTA OF FREDERICKSBURG AGAIN FOR MAINTENANCE. WE WERE TOLD THAT IT NEEDED ALIGNMENT AND 4 NEW TIRES. WE WERE ALSO TOLD THAT THE TIRES WOULD NOT BE COVERED BECAUSE FACTORY TIRES FROM DEALERSHIPS WERE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. BUT THE MAIN CONCERN IS THAT, AT JUST 22,000, THERE'S ALREADY ROTOR ISSUES AND ALIGNMENT ISSUES FROM JUST NORMAL DRIVING. NEVER DROVE IN GRAVEL OR ROUGH ROADS. I BELIEVE THERE'S AN ISSUE WITH THE 2015 SIENNA LINE OF VANS, REGARDS TO BRAKE ROTORS AND ALIGNMENT PROBLEMS. IT'S A BIG SAFTEY CONCERN FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. AND IT'S DISAPPOINTING TO HEAR THAT TOYOTA WILL NOT COVER ALIGNMENT ISSUES, THOUGH THE VEHICLE IS STILL SO NEW. IT COULD HAVE BEEN TRAGIC IF WE DIDN'T CATCH THE WORN TIRES THIS SOON. FOR THE RECORD, WE HAD NEVER MISSED AN OIL CHANGE OR SCHEDULED ROUTINE MAINTENANCE.
