Consumer Description

IN PARKING LOT. REVERSING TO BACK OUT OF SPOT AND FRONT WHEEL TOUCHED CURB, SO PUT CAR IN DRIVE TO STRAIGHTEN OUT THE CAR WHEELS BEFORE CONTINUING TO BACK OUT. WHEN THE CAR WAS PLACED INTO DRIVE, THE CAR SUDDENLY LURCHED FORWARD AT HIGH ACCELERATION, JUMPING A GRASSY MEDIAN, ALL THE WHILE WAS TRYING TO BRAKE, TO NO AVAIL. HIT ANOTHER CAR IN FRONT AT OTHER PARKING SPACE. NO ONE WAS HURT, BUT IF ANYONE HAD WALKED IN FRONT OF THE CAR, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN RUN OVER AS THERE WAS NO WAY TO STOP THE CAR. EVEN AFTER THE CAR HIT THE OTHER VEHICLE, IT CONTINUED TO SUCCEED TO PUSH THE OTHER VEHICLE A GOOD 6 OR 7 FEET BACKWARDS BEFORE IT FINALLY STOPPED... HAVE OWNED THE CAR TEN YEARS AND BOUGHT IT NEW, AND NOW AT 175,938 MILES THIS HAS HAPPENED TO TOYOTA CAMRY 2003. *TR
