Toyota Camry Vehicle Speed Control Safety Report | Mar 07, 2011
Reported on Mar 07, 2011
| JUST 5 SECOND AFTER PULLING OUT FROM PARKING SPACE, WHILE GOING AROUND THE SCHOOL BUS AND TRYING TO AVOID THE CAR GOING TOWARD ME, PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE CAR SPEED UP AT WHOLE POWER AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP IT. IT FILED APPROXIMATELY 90 FEET REACHING SPEED AT LEAST 50 MPH IN APPROXIMATELY 1-2 SECOND. I WAS TRYING TO PUSH THE PEDAL TO STOP IT, AND AT THE SAME TIME TRYING TO AVOID COLLISION WITH THE TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME, I MANAGED TO JUMP ON A CURB AND EVENTUALLY STOPPED AFTER HITTING A BUILDING AND AFTER MY CAR FLIPPED ON THE DRIVER SIDE. I STRONGLY BELIEVE SOMETHING, INSIDE THE CAR (EITHER MECHANICAL OR AUTOMATIC SYSTEM) PREVENTED ME STOPPING THE CAR TIMELY. THERE WAS NO INJURY, BUILDING WERE DAMAGED JUST SLIGHTLY, MY CAR WAS DESTROYED , BUT IT HAS A FULL COVERAGE. THE WHOLE CRASH WAS TAPPED BY A SECURITY CAMERA. IT CLEARLY SHOWS THE ACCELERATION OF THE CAR, WHICH EVERYBODY, WHO WATCHED IT, BELIEVE COULDN'T BE DONE BY PERSON, BUT MOSTLY BY A CAR ITSELF. THAT SIMPLY LOOKS FOR ME SOMETHING THE SAME AS IT WAS IN PREVIOUS TOYOTA RECALLS. *TR | |
