NHTSA Complaint #11085113 — 2005 TOYOTA CAMRY

ON 4/13 AROUND 2PM, I ARRIVED AT FRIEND'S TOWNHOUSE (ADDRESS: 203 WILDFELL TRL. CARY NC27513). I DROVE MY CAR INTO A PARKING LOT IN FRONT OF THE TOWNHOUSE SLOWLY WHILE STEPPING ON THE BRAKE. BEFORE I SHIFTED THE GEAR TO THE 'PARKING', MY CAR SUDDENLY SHOOT UP AND HIT THE ELECTRICAL TRANSFORMER BOX IN THE FRONT OF THE TOWNHOUSE. THE CAR KEPT MOVING FORWARD UNTIL IT HIT THE OUTSIDE WALL OF THE NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE, THEN MOVING BACKWARD AND STOPPED. THE ELECTRICAL TRANSFORMER BOX WAS DAMAGED, THAT CAUSED THE POWER OUTAGE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD FOR AT LEAST 6 HOURS. THE FRONT BUMPER OF MY CAR WAS ALSO DAMAGED. I ALSO GOT THE CITATION AND GOT CHARGED WITH 'THE MISDEMEANOR OR INFRACTION' FROM THE POLICE, FOR THAT I WILL NEED TO HIRE A LAWYER TO DEFEND THE CASE. I WAS SO SHOCKED AND PANIC. I HAVE A VERY CLEAN DRIVING RECORD IN THE PAST 30 YEARS. I KNEW TOYOTA DID HAVE A 'SUDDEN ACCELERATION' PROBLEM, BUT BECAUSE MY CAR WAS NEVER RECALLED SO I THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. YESTERDAY, I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT THE '2005 TOYOTA CAMRY' DID HAVE SEVERAL CAR INCIDENTS CAUSED BY 'SUDDEN ACCELERATION' IN THE PAST. I WAS LUCKY THAT THE CAR DIDN'T INJURE OR KILL ANY PEOPLE. I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE THIS CAR ANYMORE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE WHY TOYOTA DIDN'T RECALL MY CAR AND THE TOYOTA COMPANY SHOULD REIMBURSE ME ALL THE COSTS OF THE DAMAGES.
