| 2006 toyota 4runner sport, 4.0l 4wd. vibration felt via steering wheel, which occurs during accelleration/deaccelleration and across wide speed range. higher frequency, low amplitude quality. felt when vehicle is traveling in straight line, but has changed speed and is felt when steering wheel is turned slightly off center as in small course corrections. when accellerating or deaccellerating, there seems to be resonant feedback felt through the steering wheel as if there is directing contacting the steering rod. dealer attempted to correct with an alignment of the frontend and rotation and balance of the tires/wheels. the result is that the original sensation is still present and the corrective attempt was not effective. | |||

| My toyota sr5 was bought in feb 06, i have 7400 miles on it. my right rear tire split open on tread and was splitting around the edge and sidewall. last saturday on my weekly inspection of the truck the tires had no defect. luckily it was caught before an accident occured. the dealer has ordered a replacement tire and statede it ws a defective tire. the tire was made by bridgestone, k0305 d840z p265/65r17 tubeless steel belted radial. my concern is that is made from a defective lot and that my other tires and tires currently sold have major safety problems. | |||

| Tire low light goes on a lot. the first time, i actually had a flat. the rest of the times it happened, i went to the tire shop, and they said that either one tire was a little low (not dangerously) or none of them were. this is annoying because the light won't go off by itself if you fill the low tire -- someone has to turn it off manually. also, i take the vehicle off paved roads fairly frequently, so i need to know whether there really is a problem if the light comes on. | |||

| There was a recent recall on toyota trucks for the tire gauge. i have had the exact problem with my toyota 4-runner (2006). the tire gauge light is always one. when i take it in for service they turn the gauge off but goes right back on. i have talked to others and they have the same issue with their 4-runners and lexus rx400h. i talked to the service manager and he said he sees the issue all the time with 4-runners. | |||
