| Description of the problem | 2006 toyota camry. Consumer states unintended acceleration. *tgw the consumers wife was driving on the interstate with the cruise control engaged, when all of a sudden the vehicle in front of her slowed down. When she put her foot on the brake, the vehicle started going faster. There were cars on both sides of her, but she was able to swerve to the right just missing the vehicle in front of her. When she removed her foot from the brake, the vehicle began to slow down. One year later, while pulling into a parking lot, the consumers wife was going about 5 mph about to pull into a parking space, she put her foot on the brake and the vehicle lunged forward. She shifted the gear into neutral and shut off the engine and stopped within a foot of the pole. A month after that incident, she was traveling down the freeway and when she applied the brake to prepare to exit, the vehicle accelerated. She took her foot off the brake and the vehicle slowed down. The consumer contacted the dealer and was told his vehicle was not included in the recall. *jb |
