AT APPROXIMATELY 2:30 PM, MY SON WAS BACKING OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY IN OUR 2001 4 CYLINDER CAMRY. HE PLACED THE CAR IN REVERSE AND THE CAR SHOT BACKWARD AT VERY HIGH SPEED, COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL. THE CAR TRAVELED ABOUT 65 FEET ACROSS OUR NARROW SIDE STREET, WHERE THE CAR SIDE-SWIPED A CEMENT WORKER'S TRUCK AND SUBSTANTIALLY SLOWED DOWN FOR ABOUT 1 SECOND DUE TO THE CONTACT. MY SON WAS ATTEMPTING TO PULL THE ACCELERATOR UP WITH HIS FOOT WHILE THE CAR WAS SIDE-SWIPED, THINKING THAT THE ACCELERATOR HAD JAMMED, WHEN THE CAR BROKE AWAY FROM THE SIDE-SWIPE AND AGAIN SHOT OUT AT UNCONTROLLABLE SPEED. THE CAR HAD BEEN STEERED SLIGHTLY TO THE DRIVER'S LEFT, SO THE CAR PROCEEDED IN A SEMI-CIRCLE ANOTHER 75 FEET, BACK ACROSS THE CURB OVER OUR LAWN THROUGH AND OVER APPROXIMATELY 1 FOOT HIGH LANDSCAPING STONE AND CAME TO A REST INCHES FROM OUR HOUSE, ONLY AFTER MY SON PULLED UP THE PARKING BRAKE AND SOMEHOW THREW THE CAR INTO PARK I'VE GONE THROUGH TOYOTA REGIONAL IN AURORA, IL - THEY SENT THEIR ENGINEER WHO PERFORMED A NON-ROAD TEST ON THE CAR AT THE BODY SHOP, FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THEREAFTER, ONE OF MY CO-WORKERS DID SOME WEB SEARCH AND DISCOVERED THE CONCEPT OF "SUDDEN ACCELERATION", THE RECALL ON THE 2001 6 CYLINDER TOYOTAS AND THE NFTSA INQUIRIES ON THE 2002-04 MODELS. TOYOTA REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN HAVE THEIR ENGINEER MEET ME TO DO A ROAD TEST AFTER THE BODY WORK IS FIXED. I AM SHOCKED AND STUNNED AT TOYOTA'S LACK OF CONCERN ON SUCH AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISS
