| Description of the problem | My 2006 camry ranaway on rt 290 west when it was a few months old following the replacement of an oxysendor and installation of toyota floor mats. I could not stop the car as it entered the highway and thus i rearended a semi who never even knew that i hit him. Yet, greater than 2000. 00 of damage happened to my auto. I have paid nearly 3000. 00 in penalties for an accident which i had no control over. From thence, i was told to put my car in neutral when i stopped at lights etc. It tried to runaway at least 20 times sporadically.. I took it to toyota dealers who told me that nothing was wrong with the car. I tried to file a lemon law. It was 3 yrs of driving in ?!@#$% never knowing what could happen next. I have witnesses. |
