NHTSA Complaint #10292264 — 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY

ON 7/22/09, I HAD FOUR NEW TIRES REPLACED ON MY 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY (LE) AT PEP BOYS #430 LOCATED ON 260-310 RTE 73, N. BERLIN, NJ 08009 PH # (856) 719-0770. THE NEW TIRES WERE CORNELL 1000 RADIAL P215/60R16 M+S 94S. DURING WET PAVEMENT THE TIRES SPIN ON THE ROAD (WHEN I AM STOPPED AT A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT AND TRY TO MOVE WHEN IT TURNS GREEN, EVEN AT THE SLOWEST ACCELERATION SPEED POSSIBLE) AND ON AN EXIT RAMP THE CAR LOSES CONTROL AT THE MINIMUM SPEEDS. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY OF OTHERS ON THE ROAD, MYSELF AND PROPERTY DAMAGE DUE TO THESE TIRES UNSAFE BEHAVIOR. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BETWEEN JULY AND NOV. 2009 BUT I WAS NOT SURE THAT THE DEFECTIVE TIRES COULD BE THE ROOT CAUSE FOR THE CAR'S BEHAVIOR. I HAVE TALKED TO THE SERVICE MECHANICS AT THE STORE WHERE THESE TIRES WERE INSTALLED AND SO FAR NO HELP IS PROVIDED TO CORRECT THE DEFICIENCY. *TR
