| Description of the problem | I had driven down the alley and was pulling my 2008 toyota camry hybrid into the parking place beside our garage behind our house. When suddenly it just accelerated and i crashed into our wooden fence doing about $500 worth of damage to the fence and denting the front right side of the car (we have not had that fixed nor have we gotten an estimate yet). When the car accelerated, i was only about three feet from the garage so i was not able to get the car stopped in time to avoid hitting the fence. Fortunately, the brakes did work and i had been only going very slowly when it happened (i was almost stopped) so i was not injured - just shaken. Thus far it has not happened again, but after hearing about the high speed accidents, we remain concerned about the possibility of this happening again. *dt |
