| Description of the problem | This is a part of a certified letter i sent to toyota on feb. 18, 2010: report / notice: my 2008 toyota camry has exhibited various malfunctions brake malfunction acceleration malfunction on my first incident. I have been driving for over 40 years and have never had a fault accident until last month, 1/26/2010. My 2008 toyota camry accelerated forward. I am not sure whether it was caused by the accelerator pedal or the brake malfunction: i had the brake on, accelerator off. Second incident. On feb. 16,2010, while i was driving at approximately 10 mph coming to a stop light, i pressed my brake pedal. The brake started shaking and making a weird noise as if gears were moving/grinding. It was unlike the antilock brake srs symptom. I immediately placed my car on park and stopped the car. Thank god that i had enough time/space between my car and the car in front of me: i had started stopping well ahead, as i usually do. When i stopped the car, the car behind me started honking: it was rush hour. When the car in front started moving, i started my car again and drove into the nearest parking lot. I started my car and drove in circles in the parking lot. It return to normal. I am afraid to drive my car now. I am a 59 year old teacher / grandmother and would like to live a little while longer. I have not received my recall letter as promised. Will you please fix: (1) accelerator pedal, (2) brake pedal, (3) carpet problem. Please know that as an american, i am likewise concerned for toyota |
