My 2009 Toyota Venza handles horribly in snowy conditions. As long as I never have to stop while I'm driving things are fine. But once the vehicle comes to a complete stop it is extremely difficult to drive because there is no traction. Don't know if it's related to a sensitive accelerator (which I believe that the accelerator is) or if it's related to the traction control system. It's very dangerous. I can not even get through a stop light, once the light turns green. Other drivers are frustrated and some have been coming so fast behind me that I'm frightened that I'll be struck from behind. I've owned several cars and I happen to love everything about this one, EXCEPT this. I would like to know if anyone else has experienced this and if it's something Toyota really needs to take a look at.
