start date: 2007-08-31
description: I AM THE OWNER OF A 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY THAT IS PART OF BOTH RECALLS FOR THE FLOORMAT ISSUE AND THE ACCELERATION ISSUE. WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED MY CAR IN AUGUST 2007, I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED ACCELERATION PROBLEMS AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT IT. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT IT IN AND REPAIRS WERE MADE, HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM CONTINUED TO EXIST AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NOTHING SERIOUS. IN FEBRUARY 2008, WE WERE INVOLVED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT IN MY VEHICLE WITH OUR TEENAGE DAUGHTER AN A FRIEND. WE WERE COMING TO A STOP LIGHT AND THERE WAS A CAR IN FRONT OF US AND OUR CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AND WE HIT THE BACK OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF US. THERE WAS SEVERE FRONT END DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE, BUT THANKFULLY, NO REALLY BODILY INJURY TO THE PASSENGERS. AFTER PLACING A CALL TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER THE ACCIDENT AND EXPLAINING THE ACCELERATION ISSUE TO THEM THAT I BELIEVE WAS THE REASON FOR THE ACCIDENT, I WAS TOLD THAT IT COULD NOT BE THE ISSUE AND THAT MY INITIAL ACCELERATION ISSUE HAD ALREADY BEEN FIXED. I HAVE FOUR CHILDREN THAT ARE IN MY CAR EVERYDAY AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY VEHICLE. MY FLOORMAT ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN FIXED AND NEITHER HAS THE PEDAL ISSUE. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE WAY THIS SITUATION IS BEING HANDLED, ESPECIALLY SINCE I FIRST NOTICED THE ISSUE RIGHT AFTER THE PURCHASE OF MY CAR AND I WAS ASSURED THAT IT WAS FIXED. PLEASE ADVISE. THANKS *TR
