NHTSA Complaint #10321077 — 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY

AFTER COMING TO A STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, MY CAR ENGINE SPED UP, FORCING ME TO PRESS DOWN HARDER ON THE BRAKE. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO INCREASE IN SPEED, AND I PLACED THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL, AT WHICH POINT THE ENGINE RACED QUITE HIGH. I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION, THE ENGINE STOPPED, AND I RESTARTED IT A FEW SECONDS LATER WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. MY FOOT HAD NOT BEEN ON THE ACCELERATOR FROM THE TIME I STOPPED AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT UNTIL I RESUMED MY TRAVELS, AFTER RESTARTING THE ENGINE. NOT SURE ABOUT THE MODEL YEAR; IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A 2010 MODEL. I RENTED THE CAR IN LAS VEGAS FROM ADVANTAGE AND HAVE ASKED FOR THE VIN, BUT HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THE COMPANY YET. IT IS THEIR CAR # [XXX] . INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
