NHTSA Complaint #10313686 — 2006 TOYOTA CAMRY SOLARA

I AM REPORTING 2 INSTANCES OF UNINTENDED THROTTLE ACCELERATION IN MY 2006 SOLARA. CIRCUMSTANCES IN BOTH CASES WERE SIMILAR. THE TWO CASES: (1) APPROXIMATELY NOVEMBER 1, 2009 -- I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY IN A PARKING LOT. I BRAKED TO MAKE A TURN WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED VIOLENTLY. STEPPING HARD ON THE BRAKE AND PULLING THE SHIFTER INTO N STOPPED THE ACCELERATION. THE CAR THEN OPERATED NORMALLY. (2) APPROXIMATELY DECEMBER 20, 2009 -- I WAS PULLING SLOWLY INTO A PARKING PLACE IN FRONT OF A POST OFFICE WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED VIOLENTLY. STEPPING HARD ON THE BRAKE AND PULLING THE SHIFTER INTO N STOPPED THE ACCELERATION. THE CAR THEN OPERATED NORMALLY. OBVIOUSLY I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ESPECIALLY WITH THE PUBLICITY AND RECALLS BUT UNDERSTAND THAT MY MODEL IS NOT ON RECALL. *TR
