| Description of the problem | Back in july 2009, coming to a stop on bond road and waterman in elk grove, ca my 2007 toyota camry xler accelerated and hit suv in front of me. No injury was caused, major damage to front end of my automobile no damage to suv. Took car to folsom toyota, reported incident, they said they would look at car, at the time was not advise of problems toyota was having with accelerator. Was told nothing wrong with car, then vsc alarm was coming on, then that battery in two (2) year old car needed to be replaced. I told them that it was the key battery, they insisted that it was the car battery. Which i questioned because it said key battery. Then replaced the battery, the company who sold me the battery when car was only two yeas old. Then when we brought old battery back to them as a core. The guy questioned that there was nothing wrong with the battery. The green eye was still green and he thought there was nothing wrong with battery. The car dies twice leaving myself and daughter stranded at my daughters dance class where i have to call my father a retired mechanic to come and jump my battery. Then i went to elk grove toyota and asked them to check battery in key they replaced the battery in key and the problem was solved. In september 2009 i received letter requiring that i take floor mats out of car. But still the car would accelerate especially when putting cruise control. So now worried to drive car. The floor mat were never the cause of acceleration. |
