| Description of the problem | 2007 toyota camry with unintended acceleration. The consumer stated his wife was driving the vehicle. She gently applied pressure to the accelerator and it inexplicably went to the floor. She frantically tried to pull the accelerator up from the floor with her foot, but was unsuccessful. The vehicle was picking up speed and racing uncontrollably down the freeway. She attempted to slow it down by pressing firmly on the brakes, but to no avail. Luckily, she threw the gear into neutral and pulled off to the side of the freeway. The consumer stated the floor mats were anchored in place with factory clips and installed correctly at the time he took possession of the vehicle. The consumers wife entered the vehicle and then proceeded to drive, when a short while later, the accelerator slammed to the floor. Again, the vehicle began to accelerate down the freeway. She threw the gear into neutral again and braked and pulled over to the side of the freeway. The consumer has since sold the vehicle. *jb |
