Description of the problem | My wife was pulling into a parking spot and all of a sudden the car accelerated very quickly, she was quick enough to turn the wheel sharply to the right and hit the front left fender on the wall of the building, she also hit a parking sign on the right front fender. The damage to the car was over $7500. No air bags were activated. This is a 2009 toyota camry that we had brought into the dealership for a recall in april of 2010. My wife does not believe she stepped on the gas pedal but that the car just suddenly accelerated. |
