| Description of the problem | I was driving on a local road (40mph) in january 2015 and at some point had to press on my brakes somewhat abruptly due to a car in front of me suddenly slowing down. A few minutes later my car accelerating capacity suddenly turned off and the car was coming to a stop in the middle of the road and the car was making a loud revving noise as i tried to increase the speed. It also was not moving further. I somehow pulled over to a right turning lane, where i stopped the car and turned off the engine. When i turned it back on, the car began running fine. Then again on 3/1/2015 i was driving on a road connecting to the highway at maybe 35-40mph when this time i had to make a sudden break due to another car merging into the lane unexpectedly. My car then immediately stopped moving forward and the car was turning off in the middle of the road. In order to be hit by traffic coming behind me at 50+ mph, i was finally again able to veer into a right turning lane where i turned the car off and started it again. It was also making that same loud revving noise when i was veering it into the safety lane. It again drove fine all the way back home. This is a 10 month old toyota camry se (bought in april 2014) and i'm terrified that if for any reason i need to hit my brakes suddenly on a highway or anywhere else, my car will turn off and that will be the end of my car and me. There is clearly a serious defect in this car or model and others need to know. The care was bought in ms. |
