    I bought a toyota rav-4 sport in january 2009. It is a v-6 with the run flat tires. In july, i purchased a new, very expensive computerized sewing machine--one that i had hoped to be able to buy for a long, long time. It was just over $1400.00. I placed it in the back of my rav and drove home. I swung open the tailgate, not thinking i had to peak inside first. The sewing machine fell right out of the car unto the…

    My fiance was driving my rav 4 this past saturday. The car has 4 copper discoverer tires (dot# utdac5t0704) that were purchased in early 2006. They were traveling at about 70 mph on a busy highway. One of the tires completely came apart, leaving only some ragged sidewalls on the wheel. There were (miraculously) no injuries and he was able to get the car under control and off to the side of the road. *tr

    Yohoma tire tread on a new 2 month old toyota rav 4 completely disintegrated on the freeway. We have a picture of the tire. Dealer will not address the problem because there was not enough tire to send back to tire manufacturer. Very concerned with safety associated with 3 remaining tires.*ak

I was coming home one day and proceeded onto a freeway onramp. The roads were wet but not…
