About 2013 Toyota Venza Tires

Other than getting the proper tire size, there are a couple of other factors to consider when buying Toyota Venza tires like how and where you drive, and how much you want to spend. When thinking about your driving conditions, consider where you live (mountains vs. city vs. countryside) and the kind of weather can catch you off-guard. (Watch out Tornado Alley!) It's not uncommon for drivers in states that experience all four seasons to buy more than one set of tires. one for summer and one for winter. Other drivers buy one set of all-season tires instead. That way they don't have to return to the tire shop and their vehicle is always ready for sun, rain, and light snow!

Next, consider your driving style. If you're a big off-roading fan who forges paths where others can't, you have very different needs than a long-distance commuter who sticks to the highway. Browse Toyota Venza tires online or come to your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you.

2013 Toyota Venza Oil Change Questions

  • How hard is it to change Toyota Venza oil at home?  Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly.

Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so.

  • How often should I clean my Toyota Venza fuel injectors?

2013 Toyota Venza Suspension Service & Repair

During the first few years you had your 2013 Toyota Venza, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Venza jolts, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2013 Toyota Venza in for steering and suspension services. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Venza suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work.

2013 Toyota Venza Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Why is my Toyota Venza bouncing excessively?  If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Venza goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my Venza's nose dive down when I hit the brakes?  As you brake, the forward momentum of your Venza combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Toyota's suspension?  Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.

  • What causes A/C system leaks?  Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Venza’s A/C system naturally degrade. Moisture can get into the system and cause a malfunction, or parts can simply wear out so that your system no longer seals properly.
  • Why won’t my Venza’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped?  If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your Venza’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Toyota. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Toyota Venza?  Yes. Toyota Venza transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
  • Is it okay to drive a Venza with a transmission fluid leak?  Driving with a transmission fluid leak is not recommended.
