I HAD ONLY DRIVEN 2 MILES FROM WHERE I HAD STARTED AND MY TIRES WERE FINE WHEN I LEFT. THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED TWICE. ONCE ON AUGUST 1ST, 2018 AS I PARKED ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET (THE LOW PRESSURE LIGHT DIDN'T EVEN COME ON AT THIS TIME) AND THE SECOND TIME TODAY, OCTOBER 3RD, 2018. BOTH TIMES I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRE BECAUSE IT IS COMPLETELY SHREDDED. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A TIRE EXPLODE LIKE THIS AND I HAVE SEEN IT HAPPEN TWICE OVER THE COURSE OF TWO MONTHS IN A 16 MONTH OLD CAR WITH ONLY 20K MILES ON IT. I HAD A 200K MILE 2002 HONDA AND WHILE IT HAD FLATS ONCE EVERY 5-6 YEARS MAYBE, I NEVER HAD A TIRE EXPLODE LIKE THIS AND I DRIVE LESS NOW THAN I DID WITH MY HONDA. THERE IS CLEARLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THESE TIRES THAT MAKES THEM SO SUSCEPTIBLE TO SHREDDING LIKE THAT. IT MAKES ME VERY SCARED TO CONTINUE DRIVING. I WORRY THE NEXT TIME THIS HAPPENS I WILL BE ON A FREEWAY OR NOT SOMEWHERE EASY TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

Potential Consequences:
THERE HAS BEEN MANY TIMES THAT WHEN I NEEDED THE CAR TO ACCELERATE IT WOULDN'T, NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT SEVERAL TIMES. WHAT USUALLY HAPPENS IS I WILL COME UP TO A CORNER TO MAKE A TURN AND INSTEAD OF STOPPING I ACCELERATE TO AVOID ONCOMING TRAFFIC ONLY TO HAVE THE CAR HESITATE . SOMETIMES I HAVE HAD TO PUSH THE ACCELERATOR PEDDLE TO THE FLOOR AND EVEN THEN IT TAKES SOME TIME FOR THE CAR TO MOVE FASTER. ALSO I HAVE FOUND THAT IN TRAFFIC I WILL NEED TO ACCELERATE TO AVOID A COLLISION ONLY TO FIND THE CAR DOES NOT DOWNSHIFT AND SEEMINGLY HESITATING. NOW NOT EVERY TIME DOES THIS HAPPEN, BUT IT HAPPENS SPORADICALLY. THIS DANGEROUS, AND I ASKED THE DEALER TO CHECK OUT THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH THEY DID BUT THEY FOUND NOTHING. IT WAS ON JULY 19, 2017 THAT I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, LOMBARD TOYOTA CUSTOMER #103445, INVOICE #382304.
