 Description of the problemI'm a school counselor. I was going home from work at about 3:50 pm yesterday, 4-6-2010, going south on rt. 222, about 4 miles north of the denver exit. I went to pass another car and pushed hard on my 2008 toyota camry's accelerator. It locked and kept accelerating as i pulled into the passing lane. I took my foot off the pedal all the way, maybe a half a foot, but all i heard was the engine racing as i saw myself getting closer to the car in the lane in front of me. I panicked and began to stomp down on the pedal several times, i figure i was above eighty mph by then. As i was trying to decide how to steer around everyone i hammered down on the pedal again and it stopped. The car accelerated ok and i carefully used the gas until i got the car home. I then called the new holland toyota dealership who did the recall fix on 3-27-2010, told doug what just happened. I never had the car do this before! I always thought it had a good smooth ride. Doug gave me the 800 number to call toyota to file for a case manager. I'm very upset and afraid to use this car for me or my family. I feel like it's unbelievable that it happened to me but it did. What is being done about this terrible situation? Please help me with what i should do next.
