| Description of the problem | I am concerned that my 2006 toyota camry is not on the recall list. While reversing out of a parking place the vehicle accelerated and crashed into a tree then surged forward at a high rate of speed back into the parking area with trees that i had reversed out of. My foot was firmly on the brake but the vehicles engine revved and surged back through the trees. Impact with tree on left drivers side first then vehicle slammed into tree on the right side. There is no time to react to this type of deadly speed acceleration. When my vehicle did come to a stop it was in neutral. The damage to the vehicle was $4,300, my insurance doubled and i am lucky to be alive and that i didn't kill someone in the parking lot. Toyota has no recall for 2006 camry but i have counted 50 to 60 plus complaints on this site alone under brakes, ignition, acceleration etc. Toyota says i will have to pay for the repair which is totally unfair. My vehicle has depreciated quickly in value because of this defect, the accident, and used parts being used in the accident repair. I feel as if i am taking a chance with my life and the life of my child each time i drive this car. You cannot get the car into neutral fast enough to avoid a crash. This is deadly safety issue. |
