| Description of the problem | 2010 toyota camry bought 2 months before recall news / 5,000 miles / had recall work done at a toyota dealership on march 4, 2010 / on july 25, 2010 while in line at drive-through, i had my foot on the brake waiting my turn in line. Suddenly, the engine began to rev, even though i didn't have my foot on the accelerator but did have my foot on the brake. The back tires began spinning, and although i was mashing down on the brakes as hard as i could, the vehicle moved forward (producing skid marks) and hit the truck in front of me. My camry pushed into the truck's trailer hitch, bending the rebar in the front of my car , which pushed up the radiator, etc. There was a witness who was standing next to the drive-in window because the restaurant had messed up his order. He reported to the officer that came to the scene that he heard the camry's engine start revving, and when he looked to see why, he could see that i was trying to get the car to stop. Obviously, the toyota camry recall work is not effective. My granddaughter (who was in the car) and i could have been killed if this had happened at higher speed. |
