| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2006 camry....while inching my car forward in my driveway to position the car to back it up, i was applying the brake and moving at a speed of no more than 2-3 mph. the car started to accelerate which kept increasing. i was taken by surprise, didn't know what was happening. i looked down at the accelerator to make sure it wasn't me. my foot was on the brake. before i knew it, i hit head on the very large tree at the end of my driveway. i was approximately 4 ft from the tree when the engine started revving. i had my seat belt on, which saved me from smacking my face on the steering wheel. my head jerked forward and i had a tremendous headache afterwards with pain in my neck. the air bag did not deploy. i put the car in park and my husband reached in the window and turned the engine off. when i started it up again, there was no problem and i carefully moved it away from the tree. the force with which i hit the tree pushed in my front end and also did some damage under the hood since the power steering fluid was leaking. i am currently waiting for the insurance adjustor to check this out. he did say that if he doesn't experience the same problem, he doesn't know what can be done by toyota. needless to say, i am anxious for the results and will not feel safe driving my car. *jb |
