Sudden unintended acceleration in 2014 Toyota Camry. Incident occurred Saturday October 15, 2016 in corinth, texas. Approximately 5:20pm. Weather was sunny and clear. Road conditions clear and dry. Outside air temperature approximately 80f. Driving 30mph approaching an intersection. We have the red light. Brakes applied. Brake pedal goes to the floor - no brakes at all. Immediately the engine revs up to very high rpm and unintentional, out-of-control acceleration takes place. The car goes through the intersection against the red light. No cross-traffic or otherwise there could have been a serious crash. The car is accelerating on its own. The transmission is aggressively moved into the "park" position. The car stops. Braking action returns. The engine continues to run however the rpm returns to normal. The car is cautiously driven at 35 - 40mph to local Toyota dealer - Toyota of denton, texas. If the car approaches 50mph the engine begins to rev up to high rpm however braking action remains normal. This incident has left the owners with no confidence in Toyota. The car is not trustworthy. Even if the service technicians say the car is good to go, would you allow your family members to drive this car? no way. And with Toyota's reputation over the last 10 years with handling the sudden unintended acceleration problems would you trust this car? no way. We want to be done with Toyota. The car needs to be sent to the junkyard. And we want the purchase-money loan cancelled and our down payment back. And we will go to another car manufacturer.

3 instances of unintended acceleration, the last while parallel parking on a busy small town street with pedestrians present. A severe accident that could have easily caused pedestrian or driver injury was avoided only by quick reflex application of the brakes and a shift of the gear into neutral. The first incident occurred while entering a major highway via an access road. The engine suddenly took off and returned to normal operation after brake application and a downshift to neutral. The third event occurred occurred a few weeks before the final event, while backing out of a parking spot. Unintended acceleration similar to the other two incidents likewise occurred. After the final incident, the car was taken to the local Toyota dealership where assurances from their engineers that the car was " safe to drive" rang hollow, given that a number of deaths caused by unintended Toyota acceleration had been reported in recent previous years. Although I didn't record specific dates when the incidents happened, the final one occurred in the fall of '15 and the car has not been on the road since for fear of injury to myself, family or others. As the car lease concludes ( the monthly payments have been dutifully paid since the final incident) I write this to have it on record that I consider the car to be unsafe and that I want Toyota (given their seeming lack of concern about the original complaint) to be held responsible should the car be simply passed on to a new owner or lessee and another unintended acceleration occur, causing injury.

My father was trying to pull into parking space at very slow speed when car suddenly accelerated with force that it jumped the curb and hit the light pole. My father's feet were not on the gas paddle. He recently bought this brand new car. The air bags did not deploy either. This is a sudden acceleration problem and it's very dangerous. Looks like Toyota has not fixed this safety problem.
