Toyota tacoma. Consumer writes in regard to an auto accident causing the vehicle to catch fire. The consumer went to the truck to get some papers and when opening the passenger door the truck exploded in flames in which the consumer suffered 8 degree burns after being parked for 3 hours.
I recently bought a 2015 toyota tacoma and straight off the back I noticed that the tired were not in good condition under specific circumstances. If there were some loose dirt or gravel on the road the tire would not grip causing me to slip for a split second. Ignoring the warning signs of my split second slips here and there I decided to go out in the rain with 4 wheel drive on. I felt confident because I have had many tacoma's before and I trust toyota.
Have had two tires fail by tears in the bottom of the tread. These failures have been sudden and instantly flat while the vehicle was in motion. All other tiers are showing checking/cracking in the same manner as the failed ones. Bf goodrich has been no help so far. Will some one have to die before something is done?
