Description of the problem | We own a 2004 camry le. This car had been in two separate accidents - one in 23 december 2007 and 21 august 2009 wherein the accelerator took over the car causing accidents and extensive hood damages costing the insurance well over $5,000. "i have no control over my car" was the only reason i can give for these two incidents. These incidents were reported to romano toyota only to be told that maintenance cannot explain why these uncontrollable incidents happened. In the meantime our insurance company dropped us and our insurance premiums have increased. On the recent wave of reports on toyota camry failures, romano toyota was again approached to have my camry le evaluated for the same failures. We were told this time that my car is not part of the recall years. Do we have to wait until there is a loss of life before something is done with my car? This has been happening sporadically over the course of the years of ownership. Although both incidents were not reported to the police, the insurance company had their representatives inspect the damages. *cn |
