Description of the problem | Tl* the contact owns a 2009 toyota camry hybrid. The vehicle has an automatic start press-button. While traveling at speeds of approximately 60 mph the vehicle abnormally accelerated to speeds of 80 mph without driver intent. He then attempted to depress the brakes with extreme force, to no avail. He then was able to move the vehicle into a separate lane as the vehicle maintained 80 mph. He continued to use extreme force on the brakes until the vehicle slowly began to decrease in speed. The vehicle was moved into the pull-off lane. The vehicle had stalled sometime during the acceleration and upon several attempts, he was able to restart the engine. The dealer advised there was nothing wrong with the vehicle and the acceleration he experienced was normal for a hybrid vehicle. Later, he received a recall letter pertaining to unintended acceleration (see nhtsa campaign id number: 09v388000: component: vehicle speed control: accelerator pedal), however once the repairs were made, the contact experienced two additional unintended acceleration incidents. The failure and current mileages were under 8,400. |
