| Description of the problem | I was dropping my children off at school when my camry went forward and i was unable to brake and my car went directly into a fire hydrant approximately 20 feet away. I was driving at a very slow rate of speed as i approached to turn a corner but the car accelerated straight ahead into the hydrant. I dislocated part of my foot because i was pressing on the brake as hard as i could to stop the car but it would not stop. It was as if i had no control over the car. The brakes and/or anti-lock brakes did not do anything. The anti-lock brakes did not activate. We had the car repaired at our expense but were not aware of the recall at that time and did not have the accelerator looked at. I was told at our last maintenance appointment that the floor mat in my car was secured but that the car would be recalled. I believe it was reported to the police when i was taken to the emergency room but i do not know if they made a report. |
