Steering problem

While making turns on well-maintained city streets, the Camry Hybrid's rear end is unstable. It fishtails. I experienced this twice while making right-hand turns, once on dry pavement and once on wet pavement. These are low-speed turns. I also experienced this while driving on a roundabout at a low speed in a local shopping center. I am a safe, cautious driver and purchased this car for myself because of its excellent crash-safety ratings. I will no longer drive it because of the rear-end stability problem, so my spouse took over driving the vehicle. This morning, he returned from an outing and said that the car fishtailed three times today, while making both left and right turns. The streets are damp today (from an overnight rain). The car is dealership-maintained; the tires are in good condition and are properly inflated. I have never had a vehicle behave in this manner (have owned or currently own and drive Honda accord, Mazda b2200 pickup, mercedes 300se, Subaru forester, vw jetta, gm sierra pickup, Ford f150 pickup). I have completed two Toyota surveys detailing this complaint and have heard nothing. Want to send someone by to drive the car?.
