| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have read a report in usa today newspaper about the camry solara surging and i have experienced this myself. it has happened numerous times while traveling at highway speeds. most of my travel is at these speeds. at the time i did not notice the spedometer or the tachometer increase, it just felt like i got a sudden push from behind. it does not happen at any certain time, road condition, weather or anything else. each time on the highway i was using my cruise control. also i notice in the report that others have reported that the car accelerated while depressing the brake pedal. i myself was just involved in a minor crash recently where at the time i thought that something wasn't right. i had begun to move into the spot that the driver in front of me was moving out of. we were in the right turn lane, stopped, waiting to turn. as i moved i looked left for clearance and when i turned back, looking right, she had stopped. maybe 5-10 feet ahead of me. well i slammed on the brakes and it was like the car wouldn't stop. i could feel the pedal pusle from the antilock brakes. i wasn't going more than 5mph max. i had just started to move. i don't even think i touched the gas, just let off of the brake to coast ahead into what i thought was an unoccupied spot. at the time it seemed odd to me that i wasn't able to stop in such a short distance especially while going as slow as i was. but after your car gets crumpled you kind of forget about everything else except the vehicle and drivers condition involved. of course i recieved a ticket for careless driving for being the rearender, not the rearendee.*ak |
