Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: This incident involves changing a flat tire (front passenger side) on my 2004 toyota camry. this was the first time i have had to change a tire since i bought this vehicle new in 2004. i loosened the lug nuts slightly and then placed the jack under the car as indicated in the owner's manual. as i started to raise the car, i noticed that the jack was twisting under the weight of the vehicle. i then lowered the vehicle, repositioned the jack and tried again. the jack appeared to be slightly twisted but not as much as the first attempt. i removed the lug nuts and took off the flat tire. at this time the jack fell over and the car came to rest on the wheel rotor. the car was on level ground during this incident. my feeling is that this jack is not sufficiently designed to lift a vehicle of this weight and could cause serious personal injury and/or property damage under some circumstances. *jb
