After thousands of recalls and repairs made by Toyota dealers beginning with the floor mat issue and the delay in tye braking system, it now appears that some of the Toyotas which have been repaired now have a more serious problem - owners have reported that they accelerate on their own without any warning and it's not easy to stop.One Camry owner, John Moscicki, who is also a professional racer, reported to the Associated Press (AP) how his 2007 model had accelerated five times before he had the floor mat problem repaired. In one instance, the car went off from a full stop to 50mph before he stopped it by shifting to neutral and then hitting the brake with his left foot while pulling on the gas pedal with his right. He said it was like his car was controlled by some other system (like in one of those Die Hard movies). His dealer checked the car for a week but found nothing wrong with it. It's been generally assumed that the problem is electronic, but as of this writing, the source is still unidentified.
Toyota owners who have complained of sudden acceleration of their vehicles are now being interviewed to determine if the problem was caused by the repairs done or if it is a time bomb waiting to explode. Moscicki said he had planned on giving his Camry to his college daughter but thought against it after he discovered the problem. "I wouldn't let her anywhere near this car," he said.
