| Description of the problem | My mother was driving my 2008 camry in august 2009. As she was parking the car she experienced a sudden acceleration which propelled the vehicle over a raised sidewalk and into the side of a retail building. The vehicle had 3000 miles on it and no modifications had been made since purchased new. There were floormats in the vehicle which may have contributed to the accident, but have since been removed. My mother says the vehicle is unsafe and refuses to drive it. No injuries were sustained, but properly damage to the vehicle was $1800 and damage to the building was $6700. Toyota has been contacted but denies any responsibility. |
