I WAS PARKED IN A STRIP MALL WHERE I HAD JUST PICKED UP SOME DRY CLEANING. I ENTERED MY CAR, A 2003 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE, AND STARTED THE ENGINE. I THEN PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE GEAR, AND REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE. THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED IN REVERSE,,AND WENT TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL, HITTING ANOTHER CAR PARKED ACROSS FROM MINE AND CONTINUED IN A SOMEWHAT CIRCULAR PATH UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO APPLY THE BRAKE AND COME TO A STOP. I HAVE CALLED NHTSA TODAY AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE HAVE BEEN 83 PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS FOR THIS VEHICLE UNDER "VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL," AND 15 COMPLAINTS UNDER "VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ACCELERATOR PEDAL." I HAVE ALSO CALLED TOYOTA MOTOR SALES (1 800 331-4331) AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A NEARBY TOYOTA DEALER TO HAVE MY CAR INSPECTED FOR ANY DEFECTS. I HAVE ALSO GONE TO A AUTO BODY SHOP WHERE THE DAMAGES TO MY CAR HAVE BEEN ESTIMATED AT $3,879.13. IN ADDITION, THE POLICE ARRIVED AT THE SCENE AND I WAS CITED FOR "CARELESS DRIVING," AND PAID A FINE OF $107.70. I AM ALSO BEEN REQUIRED TO ATTEND A 4 HOUR TRAFFIC SCHOOL WHERE THE FEE IS $35.95. I WISH TO HAVE THIS MATTER INVESTIGATED.
