NHTSA Complaint #733682 — 2000 TOYOTA CAMRY

THE 2000 CAMRY LE WITH 15" BRIDGESTONE POTENZA TIRES I PURCHASED NEW IN AUG. OF 2000 VIBRATES AT SPEEDS OF 65MPH AND ABOVE. THE DEALER SERVICED THE CAR (ONLY 900 MILES ON IT), AND SAID THE VIBRATION MUST BE A TIRE PROBLEM AND SENT ME TO A TIRE DEALER. THE TIRE DEALER SAID THE TIRES WERE GOOD BUT ONE WHEEL WAS OUT OF BALANCE. THE ROAD TEST INDICATED A SMALL IMPROVEMENT AND THE TOYOTA SERVICE DEPT. SAID IT'S NOT OUR PROBLEM, IT'S A TIRE PROBLEM; BUT BALANCED THE WHEELS ON A JAGUAR SERVICE DEPARTMENT'S WHEEL BALANCING MACHINE. THE VIBRATION SEEMS TO HAVE IMPROVED SLIGHTLY, AND TOYOTA SERVICE HAS SCHEDULED A TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE TO TEST DRIVE THE CAR IN OCTOBER 2000. IT WILL BE HELPFUL IF YOU CAN INFORM ME OF ALL SIMILAR COMPLAINTS (I FOUND 3 AT YOUR WEBSITE) ON THIS VEHICLE.
