Description of the problem | To whom it may concern: i bought a 2009 camry le from herb chamber boson in last oct. Recently i heard the recall. However, i don't believe the reason for the recall simply blaming the floor mat. I did experience an unintended acceleration when using cruise. The cruise was set at 70 mph and suddenly the speed went up over 85 mph, and i noticed that the acceleration was at its full strength and showed no sign to stop. I immediately braked my car to automatically shut off the cruise control. At that time, i just blamed the stupid computer program, which may account for the incident. However, when reading other person's stories about the recall, i realized that something more serious than the floor mat was actually responsible for those accidents. To tell the truth, i barely use the cruise since that incident. I just want toyota to seriously look into this problem. I will keep a copy of this message here in case i need it in the future. |
