NOTICED PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE TRACTION WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEED IN WET OR SNOWY WEATHER. PROBLEM WITH ACCELERATION AND TRACTION WHEN ACCELERATING.

WE LIVE IN A VERY DRY CLIMATE WITH VERY LITTLE TO NO PRECIPITATION BUT NOTICED IT AGAIN AFTER RAINFALL. FILED A CASE# [XXX]ON 12/10/13 WITH TOYOTA WITH NO RESPONSE. PLEASE HELP! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
