2005 Toyota Camry

I stopped my car at my mailbox at the foot of my 45% incline short driveway and put it in park with the engine running. after getting out to get my mail, i re-entered the car, put the car in drive, and touched the accelerator. the car engine "roared" more loudly than i had ever heard and lunged forward uphill towards my brick home. i slammed the brake pedal one time as hard as i could and the car stopped. i had not expected it to stop. there was no collision, but thank god i did not kill or injure some innocent person or myself. i now refuse to drive the car, which is a real problem for me and my family. i understand your agency has failed to force toyota to include the 2005 model in your recall to install new braking system override. this is unconscionable. *kb
