Camry

  • Automatic transmission
  • 47,000 miles

this morning I pulled into a parking space in downtown garage on the forth floor as I am
ready to unbuckle my seat belt the car accelerated by itself and hit a barrier that was protecting the concrete wall of the garage. it hit the barrier where it caused major bumper damage and i had to tow it because it could not driven. the air bags did not deploy however the impact was hard enough where i hit my head with the steering wheel and pull shoulder as I had the seat belt on. i really think this is a malfunction in this car and now I am afraid to drive it.

At a stop sign in a residential area, lifting my foot off the brake to make a left turn, the car then suddenly and unexpectedly surged forward. There was no control of the steering wheel, or the brakes. The car finally crashed to a stop in someone's house! While the car was lurching forward, it made a low, grinding sound. The car had lurched one time before, not to this extent, and I was able to slam my foot on the brake to finally stop it. This time was different, my foot was pressed as far as it could go, and nothing would stop it. Also, the airbag did NOT deploy. I hit my head on the windshield. This could have been much worse! In my 40 years of driving, I have never, ever had an any driving issues, my record is impeccable. There is no doubt in my mind that there is a mechanical problem with these cars, especially after reading so many other complaints with 2005 Camry (as well as other years). I reported the incident to the Saftey Commission in Washington, DC and the first thing they asked me was if my car was equipped with Cruise Control and Ant-Lock Brakes (which it is), so you can't tell me that they are unaware of a problem. My license has been revoked, and my reputation and almost my life have been destroyed because of something I had no control over.
