My 2005 Toyota Camry has had no problems and has been maintained as recommended for 5 years up to the date of the accident which occurred on January 17, 2010. I was pulling into a parking spot at approximately 1 mile per hour, lightly touched the brake and instead of stopping the car lunged forward (self-accelerated) up over a concrete block onto a sidewalk and came to a stop when it hit a heavy metal railing. An 8' section of the rail was broken off and fell 4' away from the car. I reported the accident to the police and to my insurance company. A tow truck driver got the car moved, checked the brakes - which he said were working properly - and suggested that the accident may have been caused by a stuck throttle. Neither the floor mats or the gas pedal caused the problem. The damage to the car came to $2200. 00 but nothing was done to fix the problem because Toyota has not recalled this year vehicle and the forensic mechanic who inspected it felt that it was a computer problem and the solutions offered by Toyota would not address the random acceleration problem.

The 2005 Toyota Camry with just over 40,000 miles on it all of a suddend died while I was driving on the road. I was forced to put the vehicle in park and restart it. This occured every time I accelerated after the initial incident. I took the vehicle to the Toyota dealership ,and they reported that the throttle body and actuator were stuck. I had oil changed as the manufacturer recommended, and felt that this was a problem that a two year old car should not be having. I was forced to replace the throttle body and actuator at my own expense as thewarranty expired approximately 5,000 miles prior to this incident.

The throttle stuck wide open on the car when put in reverse, from a parked position. This caused the car to go completely out of control striking several objects coming to rest in the middle of a road.
