| Description of the problem | Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6) my 2007 toyota camry car accelerated going 10 miles a hour in a parking lot with out warning. I could hear the engine race. I put the break on as hard as i could press down and the car would not stop. People were walking on my right, i saw the cement pillar and turn the wheel to hit that instead of the people. I bought the car new and in 3 years received letters that there was a problem with the pedal. All 3 times i took the letter into the dealership where they told me it was not my pedal. Now after the accident the service manager tried to blame me. I requested to meet with a toyota rep. The rep also tried to blame me. When i pushed the issue it came out that my camry was one with the pedal that could get stuck on a flour mat. The toyota rep, rob brown said when the car is fixed then we will send it over to the other department to modify your pedal. I told the rep rob brown and the collision manager i want documentation on the modification work done on the pedal. There was so much damage done to my car that those repairs are still not done 3 weeks later. I very well could have killed people that day. The dealership is hoselton automall [xxx]. |
