| Description of the problem | While attempting to accelerate my 2004 toyota camry le onto a parkway, my vehicle would not respond. I pressed the gas pedal all the way to the floor expecting that my vehicle would increase in speed. I wanted to increase my speed so i could match the speed of traffic already on the parkway, enabling me to get onto the parkway safely. Instead, my camry remained stationary at idle speed for about 6 seconds. After the 6 seconds or so, the vehicle started to increase speed slowly. Fortunately the person behind me maintained a safe following distance avoiding a potential accident. On june 14, 2006, i brought my car into the dealer and told him what happened. On the dealership form it stated "we have inspected your vehicle and vehicle is operating within manufacturer guidelines. No repairs are needed." i have also filed a complaint on nhtsa web site (odi # 10317412) concerning my 2004 toyota in which the engine rapidly and exponentially accelerated on its own after i put my car in park position. My right foot was on the brake pedal (and only the brake pedal) while putting transmission in park. |
