Description of the problem | On the morning of oct 22 '10 , i was on my way to work when suddenly my 2009 toyota camry accelerated, i tried applying the brakes, however to no avail.. I tried to steer the car out of the way due to it was a busy intersection .. It finally came to a stop when it crashed head on into a vehicle ( after crashing into 2 more on the way), the airbags never deployed, also note that i had taking it a few months back for the recall; i was bruised , however the mental scars which are the worse, cannot be seen, constantly thinking of what could have been, i'm reporting this incident because even though i would never want anyone to go thru what i went thru, unfortunately it will continue to happen if nothing is done about it, i am urging the nhtsa and any other entities that have the power, to keep the roads & the public safe, this is an urgent matter and hopefully something drastic can be done before we lose more lives. |
