Disappointed & Frightened
 When I purchased my Highlander, I told the sales rep I needed a safe, dependable car for my 6 grandchildren who I taxi almost daily.  In the snow, my brakes seem to lock the front wheels after a thumping noise.  I have sailed through three intersections; did a 360 spin in a roundabout doing 20mph with an inch of snow on the ground; came within  a hair of hitting a utility truck in a snow filled parking lot; and have spun around while turning a corner. I live in the northeast with snow from November to March. On 1/14/10 my dealer said, "Can't find a problem and -no- snow tires are not the answer." I'm afraid to have the grandchildren in the car and am now scared to drive in the snow.
