Description of the problem | Returning from church (my church is situated on a hill) my 2009 toyota camry suddenly accelerated while returning to the highway. I immediately stepped as hard as i could on the brake pressing it to the floor, i also shifted the transmission handle to park, it had no effect. I reached the bottom of the hill and shot across four traffic lanes and cut my wheel to the left and slammed into the guard rail. The car then seemed to stop and i was able to shift out of park to neutral. The brakes seemed to come back. However i parked the car and called the sheriffs office who took the accident report. I had the car towed to the toyota dealer. I previously had both recalls performed on the car. |
