On May 15, 2010, a sunny day, dry streets and warm temperature, I had come to a complete stop about 3 1/2 feet behind one car waiting at a red light at a very busy intersection. With my foot solidly on the brake my Toyota Camry engine began to rev, and in just seconds, there was a "sudden unintended acceleration" and my 2005 Camry crashed into the car ahead of me which had a wrap around rubber strip in the rear bumper. The crash bounced my car back over a foot and a half. I went from a total stop to a "run away" 2005 Toyota Camry. Had I been the first car at the stop light and my Toyota had accelerated into that busy intersection, there would have been a fatality. Two young men witnessed this accident and came running to help. There is a police report. And no citations were issued. I phoned the dealership and the car was towed to them. I was wearing my seat belt but my neck was snapped. On June 7, 2010 Toyota phoned to say this vehicle had been inspected and "there is nothing wrong with it" and that Toyota is neither liable or responsible. No repairs were made and the car was returned to me on June 9, 2010.. ironically about 3 weeks prior to my "sudden unintended acceleration" another resident of our independent living retirement community with an identical model Toyota had the same thing happen. Her car crashed into the cement wall of the underground parking garage and there was extensive damage and she was also told that there was nothing wrong with her Toyota. I will never be behind the wheel of that car again when it is started. It is dangerous, and the trauma it has caused will not be given a chance to be repeated. My car is showroom quality with only 18,000+ miles. Toyota has offered nothing to help replace this vehicle. I understand that beginning in 2011 Toyota vehicles will have an "override brake system" which surely indicates the company knows something is seriously defective in their engineering and designing.
