| Description of the problem | Driving my new toyota camry hybrid anniversary model - as i entered a local shopping area my car suddenly accelerated and i couldn't stop it. My foot was strongly on the brake but the car kept going fast. The only thing that stopped me was a dense row of shrubs which i went into and which caused considerable damage to my car. I took the car to the toyota dealer where i had purchased it and service it regularly. They kept it 2 days and said there was no problem with the brakes. They didn't say anything about the gas pedal. I took my car to a body shop for repair which cost me $915. 26. This problem has not happened again but left me scared whenever i drive my car. |
