NHTSA complaint: 2005 TOYOTA CAMRY SOLARA — ENGINE
PREVIOUS ODI 10576595, 2 APRIL 2014/ TODAY 25AUG2017: AT APPROX. 1910-1915 HRS I WAS DRIVING SOUTH ON BELL AVE. APPROACHING HURLEY AVE, IN SACRAMENTO, CA., WHEN FOR THE THIRD TIME I HAVE EXPERIENCED VEHICLE ACCELERATION WHILE BRAKING. THE SECOND TIME, I WAS DRIVING IN THE LATE EVENING, 2200, TO THE MOVIES; APPROACHING ARDEN AND FULTON, SAME THING, BRAKING AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ALMOST HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME; THAT TIME MY ACTIONS OF STANDING ON THE BRAKE AND TURNING OFF THE IGNITION KEY KEPT ME FROM HITTING THE OTHER CAR. THIS SECOND INCIDENT HAPPENED MAYBE 2 MONTHS AGO! I CONSIDERED THAT MAYBE MY SANDAL GOT CAUGHT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, WHICH IS WHY I DID NOT MAKE AN IMMEDIATE REPORT! NOW I KNOW FOR SURE THAT IT IS AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN A TAUTLY PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKING, ENGINE REV/ACCELERATION PROBLEM! TOYOTA DENIES THAT THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS WITH THE SOLARA! TONIGHT, I ALSO STOOD ON MY BRAKES WHEN I HEARD THE ENGINE REV AND THE CAR ACCELERATED, HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THE VEHICLE WAS PUSHED OUT INTO THE INTERSECTION, BUT, NOT INTO CROSS TRAFFIC! INSTEAD OF THE STUCK VEHICLE CROSSING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND PULLING OVER, THEY/HE/SHE SPED OFF DOWN BELL ABOUT? TO NORTHRUP AND TURNED LEFT. I CALLED CHP AND THE MADE A REPORT: NCIC 9250 / OFFICER 19071. TRIED PULLING UP MY PREVIOUS REPORT VIA VIN# AND ODI# AND FOUND NOTHING ON FILE! WHAT GIVES? THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED DURING THE PERIOD OF TOYOTA DEALING WITH MASSIVE VEHICLE RECALL FO
