2024 Toyota Venza Hybrid

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? I purchased four tires from Belle Tires on April 1, 2026, 14 days ago (note: mileage at accident 10,776 vs mileage at tire purchase 10,360 or 416 miles of wear). On Wednesday, April 15th, I was about to change lanes after entering the Tri-State Expressway (route 294) going southbound from Half-Day Rd. (route 22), I had crossed the first two lanes without incident, and moving into the third lane, when I experienced a blowout of my driver’s-side rear tire. The car started a fishtail counter-clockwise spin and crossed the third and the fourth lanes (i.e., the far left lanes) before smashing into the concrete median, separating my Southbound lanes from the opposing traffic lanes. I have kept both the tire and rim in my garage. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? As I started sliding or spinning, I cannot honestly say, whether or not I hit the brakes or can really describe the spinning that occurred. As the rim of blowout tire was evenly torn up on its outer edge, I know that the tire was turning. All I can recall is hearing the car hit the concrete median twice. I know that it had to be counterclockwise since I started going southbound, and after the car came to a rest next to the median, I was facing southbound again. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? I took the tire on it’s rim to the Belle dealer who would not acknowledge a blowout, but he kept insisting that he is not an expert on crash interpretations. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Allstate Insurance, Toyota used a Bosch representative to retrieve the Electronic Data Recording (EDR) information. I have copy of this report available for expert interpretation. No warnings were given prior to this blowout.

I heard loud sound then the tire of driver’s side front was blown out suddenly with warning alarm on the 210 east bound freeway on 10th of May, 2026 at 1:40PM, I stopped in the shoulder then called AAARoad service to change it to the spare tire. The service technician said that the tire has defect and blown out. I visited Toyota Pasadena to change the tire, the service representative suggested to claim the defect to Bridgestone personally because my mileage of car was only 33,416 and I have still warranty of this tire. I reported to Bridgestone but they didn’t do anything to follow up. Tire size is 225/55R29

225 55/R19. New 2024 Toyota Venza (purchased XXX) with under 4k miles when tire blew out. Was driving the speed of traffic eastbound on [XXX] near [XXX] merge just east of Des Moines in heavy, heavy semi traffic when tire went flat. I had been driving for several hours since my previous stop and was in the far left lane when noise a loss of control made me pull off the road. I have pictures & a video that appears to show a tire defect. Neither Toyota and Bridgestone paid for my replacement tire, nor admit to a defective tire. I am concerned my other factory installed tires are also defective, and neither company are interested in my pics/video. Since I already purchased a replacement tire, they have no interest in my concerns. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
