My 5 month old toyota camry se v6 2005 with 5,200 miles on odometer suddenly accelerated when approaching slowly into driveway as usual for nearly 20 years of my residence. the camry was only stopped on itself after it hit the wall of rocky ledge standing at driveway's end. i felt very lucky and god blessed because if this accident happened on the road its consequences is very horrible beyond any imagination of fatalities.after this accident,i notified the toyota corporation and they answered me that they found nothing defective with this camry after an investigation. i was really disappointed at toyota corp action. repair of damage cost more than 7,000 dollars and i must pay surcharge since 2005 until now on my insurance policy. at that time,i was completely given up because toyota is a very powerful corporation and my voice unheard and unnoticed by anyone. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2005 toyota camry. occasionally when the contact attempt\ed to brake at any speed, he noticed that the vehicle suddenly surged forward without warning. the vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated that the computer needed to be replaced. the current and failure mileages were 23,000.

While stopped at an intersection, the engine suddenly and unexpectedly began to rev uncontrollably without any input from me. due to the high revolutions of the engine the brakes were incapable of prventing the car from moving forward even though the brake petal was fully depressed. the only way to prevent my car from hitting the car in front of me was to shut off the engine. two subsequent attempts to re-start the engine resulted in a repeat of the over-revving situation. only after the third attempt did the engine resume normal operation. a passenger in the car at the time verified that the accelerator was not engaged at any time during the incident. the car was immediately driven to the dealer who inspected it and found no fault with the etc system and no stored codes that would verify my complaint. the car was subsequently returned to us and was driven without incident for the next nineteen months before the problem once again presented itself. as we were pulling into a parking space while my foot was on the brake petal the engine once again began to over-rev without any input from me. again, the passenger in the car who had witnessed the first incident immediately looked to see if the accelerator was accidentally being depressed. it was not. again, the only means of preventing my car from striking the vehicle in front of me was to shut off the engine. *nm
