| Description of the problem | I own a 2007 toyota camry. On many separate occasions, i have experienced not a sudden acceleration but a subtle increase in speed, while on level road. The impression i had was that the cruise control was operating when it was not even turned on. I was able to maintain control of the car. I have taken the car to the dealer and explained what it was doing but was told i must have had the cruise control activated. They did try to recreate the problem but could not. The vehicle has since had the "accelerator pedal fixed" as a result of toyota's most recent recall. However, the car continues to randomly "accelerate". I do not believe the pedal was ever the problem and in light of the current number of reported incidents, i have lost all confidence in driving this vehicle. I feel it is important to report these incidents because i believe this is the same as the more critical reports and that the cause of the problem is still unknown and the nature of my incident is probably happening to alot of drivers but they either don't realize it or think it is not important enough to report. |
