| Description of the problem | I would like to report a dangerous and almost deadly incident regarding driving my toyota camry(2007). On december 13, 2009, my wife was driving my toyota, camry in wilkes barre, pa. Visiting family. She was on rte. 81 and the car starting rapidly accelerating without her pressing the accelerator. The car speed got up to around 100 mph when she finally was able to slow the car down by pressing the brake heavily and then putting the car in neutral. My wife came very close to crashing the car which at that speed would have surely meant death. My wife was quite anxious to say the least after experiencing this incident. I would like an investigation of this matter and am quite angry at toyota for this safety issue to occur. I am considering taking legal action against toyota. |
