NHTSA Complaint #10390027 — 2009 TOYOTA CAMRY

ON WEDNESDAY, 2/16/11, AT 4:50 P.M. I WAS TRAVELING DOWN SUDBURY STREET IN BOSTON, MA TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN ONTO CONGRESS STREET IN BOSTON. I CAME DOWN THE HILL AND STOPPED AT A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT. MY CAR, FOR NO APPARENT REASON, BEGAN TO RACE AND WOULD NOT STOP. I APPLIED MORE PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE AND SHIFTED THE CAR INTO PARK. IT CONTINUED TO RACE FOR 5-10 SECONDS AFTER I DID THIS. THIS WAS A VERY FRIGHTENING INCIDENT, GIVEN THERE WAS A STOPPED VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, A VEHICLE BEHIND ME AND MANY PEDESTRIANS AT THAT HOUR. I NO LONGER FEEL SECURE WITH THE CAR AND AM ANTICIPATING THAT THIS MAY RE-OCCUR AT ANY TIME. *TR UPDATED 1/13/2012 *LN *TR
