| Description of the problem | My wife was driving to work monday morning march 29, 2010 about 7:15 am in a toyota camry hybrid on a road she usually takes to work. She was on a straight and level part of the road. All of a sudden the car started to accelerate. She tried braking but the car would not stop. She landed up hitting a tree that stopped the car. After hitting the tree she could not turn the car off. The car was a total loss and is now the property of our insurance company. I have filed a claim with toyota. |
