| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Unintended acceleration occurred while operating at slow speed resulting in a collision with parked vehicles and deployment of airbag. my wife is the primary driver of the vehicle and has complained on at least two previous occasions that, while parking, the anti-lock braking system activated and the car accelerated with her foot on the brake pedal. this occurred while traveling at approximately 5 to 10 mph in a right turn. on one other occasion she stated that the brakes would not stop the car and the engine speeded up as she was braked for an intersection ? again she stated that the anti-lock brakes activated reducing braking effectiveness and allowing the engine to accelerate the car. i test drove the car each time and found that it operated normally. these events have occurred during the 2 years we have owned the car. the acceleration during the last event was stronger and resulted in a crash. my wife has a good driving record, knows if she is depressing gas pedal instead of the brake pedal, and the floor mat was not a factor. the 2005 toyota camry was new when we purchased it. the car has is located at a local auto body shop for repair. *jb |
