| Description of the problem | I was parking my 2007 toyota camry behind a jeep wagoneer that was headed forward in a parking lot. I was almost at the stopping point with my foot on the brake and within a foot or so of stopping, when my car suddenly lurched forward with extreme force, pushing the jeep wagoneer about 8-10 feet forward. My car continued accelerating and the passenger side of my car severely crashed against the side of the suv that was parked next to the jeep wagoneer. My car finally came to rest. My 2007 toyota camry was part of the recall in 2010 and i had my car in for the recall repair in feb. 2010. Prior to hearing anything about toyota's sudden acceleration problems, i had a similar experience with the same vehicle around mid-2009 (uncertain of date). At that time, i was again turning slowly into a parking space and almost at the stopping position when the car roared forward, jumping the curb of the parking lot and going towards the right on a grassy knoll. There were no injuries nor any car damage, so i did not report it and did not understand the cause of the incident until i began learning of toyota's sudden acceleration problems. |
