NHTSA Complaint #10631668 — 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY

AS I PULLED ON TO THE DRIVEWAY AT A FUNERAL HOME, MY CAR STARTED SPEEDING, CRASHED INTO A BRICK WALL, AT WHICH THE AIR BAG POPPED OPEN, THE CAR BOUNCED OFF THE WALL, STARTED SPINNING IN CIRCLES, CRASHED OVER A CONCRETE BARRIER, AND STARTED SPINNING AGAIN AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER CAR WHICH WAS TOTALED. I THOUGHT I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKES & EVEN TRIED TO TURN THE CAR OFF WITH THE KEY. BUT AFTER THE CRASH PEOPLE ASKED ME IF I HAD MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR, AND I SAID I MUST HAVE, BUT COULDN'T UNDERSTAND HOW I COULD HAVE MISTAKEN ONE FOR THE OTHER. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING SINCE 18 YEARS OF AGE, AND HAVE NEVER HAD THAT HAPPEN. I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND HOW AND TOLD MY DOCTOR I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE AGAIN (4 DAYS AFTER THE ACCIDENT) HE TOLD ME TO WAIT A MONTH OR TWO UNTIL I WAS FEELING BETTER FROM THE SEVERE SPRAIN TO MY NECK AND SHOULDER, AND BAD BRUISING OF MY BREAST ABOUT A MONTH AGO MY BROTHER IN FLORIDA TOLD ME ABOUT PROBLEMS WITH MY MODEL OF TOYOTA WITH THE ACCELERATOR STICKING. I NEVER REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT THAT COULD HAVE BEEN THE CAUSE, NOTHING ELSE MADE SENSE TO ME UNLESS I WAS LOOSING MY MIND, AND EVERYBODY I KNOW ASSURE ME "NO" *TR
