 Description of the problemUnintended acceleration not caused by the accelerator at least a dozen times over the 2 years i owned the car. The first time was about a month after i bought the car used. As i entered my garage at a creep, i felt the transmission drop into the lowest gear then the car leaped forward. My foot was off the accelerator and poised over the brake petal as i was almost in my parking position. Shortly thereafter, i took car to the t. Dealer who reprogrammed the transmission. Similar sudden acceleration in several scenarios occurred at least a dozen times over the next 2 years at low speeds. Each time the sudden acceleration occurred instantly when the transmission dropped from a higher gear into a lower gear. I am a back yard mechanic and have been driving for over 50 years. I feel that one of two things could be wrong. 1. The wrong transmission oil was used. Of the 4 vehicles i have had here, the camry was the only one which would climb over a one inch edge at the garage entrance without using the accelerator. The camry did not have much transmission slip which could be a design fault or more probably an oil with the wrong slip characteristics. 2. The transmission lock-up that comes on in overdrive was malfunctioning.
