I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING MUCH DIFFICULTY WITH ACCELERATION WHEN DRIVING MY 02 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE..I STEP ON THE GAS AND THE CAR HESITATES TO ACCELERATE..THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT GOES HARD..THIS IS NOW ON A DAILY BASIS WHENEVER I DRIVE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY TOYOTA 2002 SOLARA INTO THE PARKING LOT ON 6-27-10 TO THE POST OFFICE. WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT ALONG SIDE OF THE POST OFFICE BUILDING, WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES THE ACCELERATION STARTED TO INCREASE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT DOWN ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. THE CAR JUMPED THE PARKING STOP AND THEN THE SIDE WALK INTO THE WALL OF THE BUILDING. THE TWO AIR BAGS EXPLODED, THEN TRYING TO PUT THE CAR INTO PARK THE CAR WENT INTO REVERSE BACK INTO THE PARKING LOT. THEN FINALLY THE CAR WAS IN PARK AND IGNITION WAS SHUT OFF. I CALLED 911 AND THEN WENT THE HOSPITAL FOR X-RAYS. THIS IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THESE CARS AND THE FLOORMAT DIDN'T GET STUCK ON THE GAS PEDAL. IS THIS A PROBLEMATIC THROTTLE CONTROL SYSTEM WITH TOYOTA CARS? IS THERE A WAY TO FIND OUT WHAT CAUSE THIS PROBLEM? IS THERE ANY COMPUTER IN THE CAR THAT WILL STORE THIS INFORMATION WHAT HAPPEN? I'M AM SO SHOOK UP THAT I DON'T THINK I CAN EVER DRIVE ANOTHER VEHICLE AGAIN. PLEASE KEEP ME INFORMED WHAT I CAN DO ABOUT THIS AND WHO DO I CAN SUE WHAT HAPPEN TO ME.

WE WERE LEAVING A GAS STATION AND PROCEEDED TO GO AROUND THE BACK OF THE GAS STATION BUT DECIDED THERE WAS INSUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF AREA TO GO THROUGH BETWEEN THE GAS STATION AND AN IGA STORE.. THE WIFE PUT THE CAMRY IN REVERSE AND THE ENGINE ACCELERATED AND BACKED INTO A TELEPHONE POLE ..IT THREW US FORWARD AND AGAIN BACKED INTO THE POLE.. MY WIFE AUTOMATICALLY PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND THE CAR SHOT THROUGH BETWEEN THE STORE AND THE GAS STATION.. IT BROKE BOTH SIDE MIRRORS AND SCRATCHED DOWN THE SIDES OF THE CAR.. WE PROCEEDED INTO THREE LANES OF TRAFFIC, HITTING A HONDA VAN IN THE PASSENGER DOOR.. THE CAR KEPT GOING ACROSS TWO MORE LANES OF TRAFFIC AND INTO THE GAS STATION ACROSS THE STREET BEFORE I FINALLY REACTED AND TOLD THE WIFE TO APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE...THE CAR STOPPED ABOUT TWO FEET FROM HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE..AND THE OTHER GAS STATION.. BOTH VEHICLES WERE TOTALED IN THE ACCIDENT.. THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP EVEN WITH MY WIFE RIDING THE BRAKE UNTIL WE HIT THE VAN.. WITNESSES SAID THEY HEARD THE BRAKES SQUEALING AS WE WERE COMING OUT OF THE GAS STATION AREA.. *TR
