2010 Toyota Tundra Tires & wheels Problems

I HAVE ENCOUNTERED ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THE SENSORED TIRE VALVES FAILING AND LEAKING. I REPORTED THE FIRST TO TOYOTA AND THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE FAULTY VALVE. APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS LATER I HAD A SECOND VALVE FAIL AND AGAIN HAD IT REPLACED AT A TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. ON JUNE 25, 2012 I AGAIN HAD A VALVE FAILURE AND CONTACTED THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER CARE CENTER THINKING I HAD A DESIGN PROBLEM AS THREE OF THE FOUR VALVES FAILED WITHIN 6 MONTHS. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE ANY VALVE DEEMED DEFECTIVE BUT NOT REPLACE ALL FOUR AS I REQUESTED. MY CONCERN IS THAT WITH THESE VALVES A FAILURE COULD OCCUR AT ANY TIME AND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THIS COULD BE TRAGIC. I AM ASKING THAT THIS AGENCY LOOK INTO THE VALVE DESIGN AND FAILURE RATE TO DETERMINE IF THE PUBLIC SAFETY IS AT RISK. I HAVE REPLACED ALL THE VALVES WITH STANDARD RUBBER VALVES MAKING MY PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM INOPERABLE. TOYOTA WILL MAKE NO ATTEMPT TO RECTIFY THIS SITUATION TO MY SATISFACTION AND I AM TRULY CONCERNED THAT A POTENTIAL PROBLEM TRULY EXISTS. I AM SURE THAT MY PICKUP TRUCK IS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS TYPE OF FAILURE RATE. *JS

AT 25000 MILES THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ON MY 2010 TOYOTA TUNRDA DUE TO POOR OUTSIDE WEAR. I ROTATE AND MONITOR MY TIRE PRESSRE REGULALY. THE DEALER CHECKED THE SUSPENSION AND SAID THERE WAS NOT ISSUE WITH IT, YET THEY REPLACED THE RACK STEERING AT 27000 MILES. I HAVE SINCE REPLACED THE TIRES AND HAD THE VEHICLE ALIGNED AND THEY ARE ALREARY WORN OUT AGAIN WITH 10000 MILES ON THEM. ANY NEWER TUNDRA I SEE ON THE ROAD SEEMS TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH VARIOUS TIRE BRANDS HIGH END OR NOT. IE MICHELIN, TOYO, BRIDGESTONE. *TT

I HAVE NOTICED AN INCREDIBLE BOUNCE WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND LOCAL WAY. IT HAS ONLY 1,500 MILES AND THIS DOES NOT SEEM NORMAL AND CONCERNS ME. THE TIRES DOESN'T SEEM TO CHANGE THE BOUNCE EFFECT. I CAN'T EVEN PUT MY FAMILY IN THE BACK SEAT BECAUSE THEY FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE AND START BOUNCING EVERYWHERE. THE PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED BY BOTOYA. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2010 TOYOTA TUNDRA IN AUG. AT NEARLY 3K MILES, BOTH THE FRONT TIRES - BRIDGESTONE DUELER H/T P275 65R18 114T M+S - HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO EXTREME CUPPING. NOW AT CLOSE TO 8500 TOTAL MILES, FRONT TIRES ARE CUPPING AGAIN. DEALER TELLS ME TO "KEEP DRIVING," THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I HAVE 4-5 DOCUMENTED CASES OF BRINGING THE VEHICLE IN COMPLAINING ABOUT THE CUPPING SINCE PURCHASED NEW IN AUGUST. I JUST EXAMINED TIRES AGAIN THIS MORNING AND THEY CONTINUE TO WEAR, OUTSIDE EDGES - CUPPING. ALIGNMENT ON VEHICLE HAS BEEN PERFORMED TO SPECS NUMEROUS TIMES. *TR
