In May 2007, my I was driving my 2006 Toyota Camry when it suddenly accelerated to an uncontrollable speed, the steering kept veering to the left and the brakes did not stop the car. The car went down about 30 feet into a gully before slamming into a cement column. The car was totally destroyed and I sustained injuries. In a series of correspondence Toyota motor sales denied any defect in the car and made no attempt to pay damages. I had previously taken the car to the dealers for brakes adjustment and I complained of a clumsiness when accelerating; the dealer adjusted the brakes but said that the noise and clumsiness was the normal acceleration for the throttle for the V6 engine.

Accelerator stuck on 2006 Toyota Camry. Toyota told me it had to be the electronics and not the throttle assembly. I was so afraid I had the throttle assempbly replaced anyway at my own expense. This was all before the recent publicity. I have supporting documents for your review. Toyota never told me about the history of issuess nor offered to pay for this. Updated 02/24/10
