| Description of the problem | Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). I bought a 2006 toyota camry le seden in november of 2004. After i start to drive the car i noticed almost every time i saw the red light and took my foot from gas pedal but did not push any brake, the car will slow down. But when the speed at about 28 miles/ hour the car will suddenly speed up to 29-30 miles without even touch the gas pedal. I brought the car to the toyota dealer in el monte ca,longo toyota in jan. 2005. After the mechanic drive with me he also noticed the problem. He told me that there may be a problem with the soft wear that control the gas. But when we got back he told me that the problem is not the same as the lexus which had a similar problem. I brought the car back again after i almost involved an accident due to sudden accel. But was told that there was no issue and no recall regarding this model. Though i still keep the car and i have to be very careful due to this sudden acceleration issue. I definitely think this is the same problem all the cars were recalled. [xxx]. |
