NHTSA complaint: 2003 TOYOTA CAMRY — VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY 2003 TOYOTA CAMRY LE V6 INEXPLICABLY ACCELERATED WHILE I WAS DRIVING INTO MY GARAGE ON DEC 28 2006. THE CAR STRUCK THE BACK OF THE GARAGE WALL AND CAUSED THE WALL TO FAIL AND PARTIALLY FALL INTO MY HOUSES DEN. AT THE TIME I ASSUMED I HAD HIT THE ACCELERATOR INSTEAD OF APPLYING THE BRAKE. WHEN I THINK BACK THE CAR REALLY ACCELERATED HARD AND WHEN IT FIRST HIT THE WALL IT STOPPED THEN LURCHED FORWARD AGAIN. IN LIGHT OF ALL OF THE ISSUES SURROUNDING TOYOTAS AND UNINTENTIONAL ACCELERATION I SUSPECT THE CAR ACTUALLY ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AND I DID NOT TOUCH THE ACCELERATOR ACCIDENTALLY. THE CAR WAS REPAIRED AND IS STILL OWNED BY OUR FAMILY. I AM RELUCTANT TO DRIVE IT GIVEN ALL OF THE ISSUES SURROUNDING TOYOTA ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. *TR
