| Description of the problem | 11/24/09 i was driving my 2010 camry in a parking lot. My children were in the back seat. I was traveling 10 mph. My right foot was not on the gas, nor the brake, the torque of the engine was sufficient for moving us along while looking for a parking space. My right foot was above the brake as i was slowly looking for a parking spot. Suddenly, i heard a very loud vvrrooommmm and the car spontaneously accelerated and lunged forward approximately 20 feet. Thankfully, i was able to brake quickly and stopped the car. I then took it to the dealership. Conicelli ran a diagnostic on my car. Later that day when i picked up the car, they said they found nothing. When i asked them where the "spontaneous acceleration" (a problem toyota earlier in the day told me they were having) would have appeared on the diagnostic, they were at a loss. Let me be very clear that there was not a floor mat in the driver's side. I do not believe the "spontaneous acceleration" was caused by the "mat issue." i know my experience was real and not caused by driver error. I feel the problem is elsewhere and exacerbated for some drivers because they had the floor mats in place. Please press toyota to get to the bottom of this issue. I no longer feel safe in my 2010 toyota camry that i bought for safety reasons in the first place. Thank you. |
