| Description of the problem | I was driving my 2008 toyota camry hybrid near shreveport, la using the cruise control, when i suddenly found myself off the road on the sholder. I applied the brakes to no avail. I lost control and rolled over twice. I had 22 staples in my head and a burn on my neck from the seat belt. I reported this to toyota, but praised the safety features for saving my life and purchased a 2009 camry hybrid when they became available. My family and friends encouraged me to report this because my experince was so similar to that of other camry owners. My car was deemed a total loss by my insurance company. Toyota's website indicated that hybrids were not part of the recall, however when i took my car in for 18000 -mile service, the dealer said it had been recalled! A repair was made to the gas petal. |
