| Description of the problem | I experienced a runaway acceleration while driving my 2010 camry le v6 (made in japan). While leaving the parking lot of my work place i was trying to pull away from a stop sign and the engine revved out of control. As i tried to pull away from the stop sign the tires slipped because it had just snowed. I gave it a bit more gas to get over the snow when the car started to pull away from the stop sign the engine revved out of control. I pressed and held down on the brake, the car continued to pull forward, i put the car in neutral and the engine was at redline for about 10 more seconds then returned to normal. At no time did i floor the accelerator, it was not stuck. I stepped down on the gas just a bit to clear the snow patch and the engine just revved out of control. I am lucky this didn't happen in traffic, and i knew enough to hold down firm on the brake, or there could have been an accident. |
