| Description of the problem | While driving my vehicle on or about october 23, 2009, i approached an intersection and came to a stop. I took my foot off of the brake to press on the accelerator, however the vehicle did not accelerate as anticipated. I realized i would not be able to make it safely into the intersection at this point, and began to brake, at which time the vehicle suddenly had a burst of acceleration and the car shot out into the intersection, almost into the ditch on the other side, and me and my son were almost hit in the side by an oncoming car. This incident completely freaked me out, and i subsequently traded in the vehicle. I would absolutely not put my safety, especially my child's, at issue any longer, as this is the second issue i have had with that particular camry, the first issue resulting in a collision. |
