 Description of the problemMy complaint concerns my 2007 toyota camry which seems to be similar to a current open investigation # dp09-001. While trying to exit the freeway my foot "stutter stepped" up and down on the accelerator trying to merge to the proper lane. I was "stutter stepping" because there was a vehicle in the lane i was trying to change to and we both accelerated and decelerated at the same time in an attempt to change into each other's lane. I accelerated and decelerated approximately three time. This motion on the accelerator seemed to cause the accelerator to "stick" and my vehicle was accelerating out of control. Several attempts to slow the car down failed. The brakes would not respond as i applied foot pressure. As i approached the intersection at an extremely high rate of speed (and increasing) i was able to finally stop the car by applying both feet on the brake pedal using my back against the seat to gain leverage. I am a 6'5" male weighing 200+ pounds. The car went into a skid when the brakes kicked in allowing me to regain control of the vehicle without damage or injury. The car resumed its normal function after the incident. There was a period of time when the vehicle was not responding that i feared for my life. I was motivated to file this complaint when i learned about a deadly crash in san diego, ca involving an off duty chp officer. He was driving a 2009 lexus es 350. Toyota is blaming the "run-away" car on a defective floormat. Based on my experience i believe there is a much more serious safety related defect. I'm not sure what to do at this point, but i do not feel safe driving the vehicle. My wife has told me that she experienced a less severe incident of unintended acceleration also. She can provide details if it will help your investigation. I intend to get rid of the vehicle, but i need to get some advice on how best to do that and also help prevent other potential deadly crashes for others. Note: i am not certain of the incident date.
