I terminated a lease on a 2006 toyota camry on feb. 28. i only drove it from nov. 1 to jan. 9 when for the third time in those two months it surged ahead when i was parking. the surge was so powerful, that the car flew thru the air and damaged another car in the parking lot. my foot was on the brake. the car suffered $6000 worth of damages. i contacted the dealer to say i would have the damaged car towed to their shop and they said the body had to be repaired before they would check to see why it malfunctioned. i was told that a regional engineer from toyota would inspect the car. i had great hopes that they would find the problem and fix it but the report said there was nothing wrong with the car. of course there is something very wrong when the car will not stop but rather surges ahead when you are braking. they implied that after 45 years of accident free driving , i put my foot on the accelerator instead of the brake. i terminated the lease. but i am very fearful and very perplexed that toyota is unconcerned about the safety of their cars. toyota must address this problem---it is very wrong to ignore this safety hazard. i am filing this complaint about a car i no longer have because it has been sold to an unsuspecting person. the new owner was not told of the problem because they say there is no problem. i don't know how to contact the new owner. i thought the dealer would do the right thing and send the car back to the factory to be fixed. *nm see odi 10155560 also. *dsy
