NHTSA complaint: 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY — VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAVE A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY. WHILE PARALLEL PARKING, I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE CAR SURGED FORWARD AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED THAT I COULD NOT CONTROL. THE BRAKES WERE INEFFECTIVE AND I STOPPED BY CRASHING INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THERE WAS SOME MILD BUMPER DAMAGE. I BELIEVE THE SAME THING HAPPENED LAST YEAR WHEN I WAS IN A MINOR MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT. I WAS TRAVELING WITH TRAFFIC AND WAS UNABLE TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT AND HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME THAT WAS STOPPED FOR THE LIGHT. I WAS KEEPING WITH TRAFFIC WHICH WAS NOT TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED, BUT THE CAR KEPT GOING AND BRAKING WAS INEFFECTIVE TO STOP IT. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. *TR
