On my trip, three of the four tires failed. Looked closely at the third, and it was a passenger car tire rated for a max load of 1929 pounds... on a Ford Transit 350 XLT, which weighs 10,000 pounds unloaded and comes from the factory with light truck tires. I payed for the first two tires to be replaced being assured by the owner that I would be reimbursed, and I used the spare on the third. It took Turo over two months to get back to me after telling me they were going to seriously look into the situation for potential action against the owner. Their communication at that point was to tell me that I was not liable to pay for any damages to the vehicle and that they were closing the case. I responded that they owed me over $400 for the repairs I did to the vehicle, and it took them another two weeks to issue that refund. With at least that resolved, I went in to review my trip, and was locked out. Either the organization is very incompetent, or they purposefully drag out cases that could potentially result in bad reviews for their owners beyond the period of time they have arbitrarily set as the review period. The owner of the vehicle in question still has a five-star rating. Unlike other rental companies, I a convinced Turo cannot effectively regulate the upkeep of fleets of cars owned by private individuals. As such, finding your drive with Turo may mean finding your last drive ever.
