Description of the problem	11 days ago the marina toyota dealership performed both toyota recall repairs on my 2008 camry. On march 10, around 0519 am, i was starting to park my car at the gym. I applied the brakes to slow into the parking stall. The moment that i applied the brakes; the engine started to race; the car lurched forward; the brakes were useless in stopping the vehicle; and i could not steer the vehicle. My vehicle slammed into a parked jeep cheroke; the jeep inturn collided with a parked subaru outback. My vehicle was towed to the dealership and we are waiting for toyota's technicians to examine the car. I am very thankful to god that no one was injured or killed in this incident. However, i firmly believe that my camry is unsafe and i will never drive it again. I have written the vehicle off as a total loss. Since i am a jehova witness, i cannot sell the vehicle because then i would be blood-guilty if anyone was injured or killed by the vehicle. I am a electrical engineer with a masters degree in electronics and control systems. I have 32 years experience in systematically solving electrical problems (particularly intermittent electrical issues). In my case, given the simultaneous failure of multiple systems (engine rpm control, braking and steering), the cause is definitely electrical , not mechanical. My experience with computer controls strongly suggests that the key hardware involved is the on-board cpu. Therefore, in my professional engineering opinion, toyota has not determined the root cause of the sudden acceleration problem.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
