Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have 2002 camry se v6. the car came with brigestone tires that were totally uncontrollable under very little snow conditions. driving this car on a couple of snow days gave me the scare of my life. i tried to contact the dealer and toyota many times and did not get any help. i have spend $300.00 traded my new tires to different tires. the traction of the vehicle greatly improved. i simply can not believe a 'reputed' car company can s... customer like this when they spend $30,000 on a brand new car. the second problem i have is that the car 'wobbles' while driving at all speeds. may complaints to the dealers got the same response: "the road are to be blamed, nothing wrong with the car". recently i got the wheel balance/alignment done. not much difference. i drive my other vehicle on the same roads and never feel this way. driven other cars and not felt like this. this definitely seems some defect in the suspension/wheels or frame. toyota - you better do something about this or people will just "talk" about these problems and you will have to hear them. jb
