| Description of the problem | Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). I purchase a 2006 camry in dec. 2005. Within weeks the oxygen sensor needed replacement. Jan 2006 as i entered 290w in northboro ma the car accelerated from 10mph to 80 +mph without warning. As traffic was bumper to bumper the car slammed into the back of a semi trailer. When the car was repaired of course i was told i had stepped on the gas not the brake. This was not true!!! However, having no other explanation i accepted the cause. However, as many as 2 dozen times the car accelerated when parking into a spot. I had been instructed to shift the car into neutral if this ever happened again, and i did. I drove the car for 3 years, took it to dealers, tried to file a lemon law complaint, but to no avail. I have finally traded in the auto and want to recoup my $4000. 00 of deductibles and surcharges that i paid for no fault of mine. How do i do this. [xxx] |
