| 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 | |||

| Vehicle pulls to left or right--mostly left. vehilce will not drive straight without constant pressure on the steering wheel. i have complained and have taken it in for service and/or test driven a total of eight times. four times have been in the last month. the springs have been replaced and a wheel alignment has been performed. two service managers have driven with me from two different dealerships. they could feel the car pulling but said it was normal. there is a technical service bulletin to repair the vehicle pull/drift but there has not been any improvement to my vehicle. i hear rattles in the driver window, the passenger window/door, and the dash. the windows were serviced once. the dash has been serviced twice. servicemen replaced the seatbelt panel on the passenger side because they thought the noise existed there. the noise still exists. since then, they don't try to repair and i've been told 'a little play in the windows is normal.' | |||

| The odometer read 3% more than the consumer had actually driving. this caused discrepancies in speed control, warranty issues and caused an overage of 1440 mile in the consumers 48000 mile lease. the consumer was told, by a representative, that a 10% error variance was acceptable for the odometer readings. *ak *nm | |||
