• P2115 [1] Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor "D" Minimum Stop Performance

I had two blowouts on the front tire (drivers side) and back tire (drivers side). On sept. 26, 2009. I ran into the curb and almost lost control of the vehicle; but since i was only going about 40 mph i was able to keep from crashing or rolling over. On the 7th of sept my tire went flat and i took it to sears and they advised it was the valve stem that caused the flat. They replaced the valve stem per my road hazard agreement. Back in march of 2009 i had a flat while on vacation in fort worth and took it to discount tires, and they informed me that it was the valve stem and that there was a recall on the stem. Upon returning home i took my car to sears and informed them of the incident and they advised they were not aware of a recall, checked the valve stems and said they didn't see anything wrong. When the blowouts occurred, we took the tires back to sears and had to pay for replacement tires (with the roadhazard fee it was apprx $230) because sears still says they have not received information on a recall notice for bridgestone tire valve stems. I found the information on the internet and also was made aware in march by the discount tire store in fort worth. I still have 2 tires from sears remaining on the vehicle and they will not replace them due to recall. *tr

I purchased four premium bridgestone tires ($168 each). Two of these have now failed prematurely due to catastrophic tread separation. The first was at 29,000 miles, the second at 32,000 miles. Both still had plenty of tread depth remaining. I believe that my safety is at risk with the two remaining tires. These tires were never driven off-road, and were well cared for prior to sudden failure. The tire model was bridgestone r273swp. *tr

I purchased new tires around february 2007 from sears at the virginia center commons store location. Within three weeks between april and may of 2008 i experienced three flats. Two of the flats were on the same day within 2 hours of each other. I had the fourth one replaced at this time. All three flats were because of faulty valve stems. Recently i read about a 6 million recall of tr413 valve stems from tech international a distributor of shanghai baolong. I believe my problem is part of the recall which notified the clients but not the public. Fortunately none of the flats occurred at high speed while on the highway but on secondary roads at speeds of 45mph or less. I did complain to sears on their feedback survey but received no reply. I had purchased road hazard with the tires so i was not charged for any of the repairs but am upset about the lack of reply and the lack of notice to the public. I am unsure if any tire damage resulted from the flats. Sincerely denise barwick *tr

Vibration at speeds of approximately 42, 62 and 72 mph, especially when road is curving to the left, that makes the entire vehicle vibrate, so that it is undrivable. Capitol honda replaced tires with other tires and vibration was not found. When original tires reinstalled, vibration returns. Honda dealer believes that the imbalance is in the tires. Have taken tires back to america's tire twice for re-balance and they have added weights each time, by about 1/2 oz. *tr

Driving on fla. Turnpike, experienced tread separation on right rear passenger tire. Had to change tire to small "doughnut" spare. Went back to home base to purchase tire(s) for car before proceeding with trip. Was told by pep boys i only needed to replace the tire that had tread separation, so consumer only purchased the one tire. Consumer continued on trip. Next day, consumer experienced another tread separation, this one on left front drivers side. This tread separation caused extensive damage to the vehicle's (a 1990 cadillac fleetwood brougham, in show room shape) front panel, rocker panel, wheel trim, ball joints, idler arm and alignment of chassis. Consumer had to change this tire to small spare, causing stress and possible injury to lower back. Consumer had just completed back traction treatments on 8/30/07. The treadless tire and damaged wheel structure parts are available for inspection and pictures taken of it and damages to vehicle. Consumer purchased new tire to replace this second separation and in fear that the remaining two tires that had tread on them would separate as well , purchased new tires for them as well.

My 2005 toyota sienna has bridestone run flat tires. I noticed wear on my front tires at 15,741 miles and rotated my tires. I was noticing a noise from the front of my car and had the brakes checked, they were ok but my tires were not. Took vehicle to a bridgestone tire dealer and he said that the tires were shot with 17,600 miles. They are contacting the manufacturer to see if they will replace or adjust the tires. Is it safe to drive this car with these tires in this kind of condition? Mike berg. *jb

I was 60 miles from home and my bridgestone run flat tire blew on my 2004 sienna. The vehicle required towing because the run flat didn't do the job it was supposed to.(you're supposed to be able to drive 100 more miles at 60mph) i drove 11 miles and the tire was down to the rim. My toyota dealer said these tires are only rated for 20,000 miles but i'm only at 17,000 when the mishap happened. The tires are over $300.00 a piece. Now all 4 tires are wearing on the inside due to the awd so i am told. Buyers beware!!!!!!!

Relates to a 2004 toyota 4runner. The tire pressure sensor system malfunctions and the light blinks indicating low pressure in the tires (blinking of the light per the provided manual is indicative of low pressure in tires). Toyota and its dealers refuse to acknowledge the issue and unable to offer a fix. I have had my vehicle in the dealer shop now twice and involved regional toyota technical support with no resolution. Each time the sensor is reset, the light triggers on after a few days. Likely a failure of the either the tire sensor or the electronic control module. By admission of the dealer multiple vehicles have similar problems. The failure of the tire pressure sensor system tends to occur each time after driving conditions that involve higher (legal) speeds and after continuous driving for more than 30 minutes on highways. *nm

Brigestone, rd-604 steel, P2115/75r15 tire. I was driving along on a city street when a large amount of tread peeled off the tire. Fortunately, it was a city street and i was going under the poates speed limit so i was able to stop.*ak

My son's 2000 honda accord is fitted with four bridgestone blizzak tires for winter driving. I suggested that they be inflated to 32 psi as indicated on the door frame plate. The installer insists, however, that they should be run 5 psi lower (i.E. 27 psi) than nominal. I think that running at the lower pressure is dangerous especially in northern vermont where frigid temperatures drop tire pressures even lower. The tire manufacturer's consumer website has been unresponsive. Please advise where i can get expert advice on this matter.

Tire blew out for no apparent reason after only 3 weeks of driving. *ak

Right front tire blowed out,on newell motor home (1995) and the tires were the orignal tire(bridgestone) that had a rating of appoximately 6,100 lbs. The front axle of the motorhome weights in excess of 15000 lbs. And this is in excess of most state highway weight limits, for the front axle of a motorvehicle.

Our tire shredded while we were traveling on a california freeway at 75+ miles per hour. We were fortunate that my husband was able to control the car when the tire blew and neither myself, my husband or 18 month old baby were injured. However, there is no telling what might happen next time one of our tires shreds. Please do not wait until more people die or get injured to recall these faulty tires. *ak( dot number: )
