| Description of the problem | As i turned into a parking spot in my 2013 toyota camry (7 months old) and put on the brakes, the window wipers started going like mad and the car accelerated at an alarming rate. At the time i had both hands on the wheel and i never touched the accelerator. It was the scariest experience of my life. I had no control of the vehicle because it took on a life of its own. It surged over the one foot curb (there is a huge drop on the other side of the curb) and smashed into a lightpole. The car is totaled. |
