2010 Toyota Camry

TOYOTA CAMRY XLE 2010 WITH 11500 MILES IS ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN AND IT IS TAKING NOTICEABLE LONGER TO SLOW DOWN. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND (ESC) LIGHT IS ON. HOWEVER THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE FIRST TIME THEY SAID THERE WAS DEBRIS IN THE ENGINE HOWEVER IT TOOK THEM OVER 30 DAYS TO FIX IT AND THEY DID NOT SEEM CONFIDENT THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM. IT IS NOT A CONSISTENT PROBLEM AS IT HAPPENS UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS IS NOT CAUSED BY A DRIVER MISTAKE AS IT CAN BE CLEARLY SEEN WHEN FOOT IS OFF THE BRAKE AND CAR IS IN DRIVE THAT THE RPM IS HIGHER. SOMETIMES THE OPPOSITE HAPPENS AND THE CAR ACTS AS IF IT IS GOING TO STALL AND SHAKES VERY HARD. THE APPROX INCIDENT DATE IS THE LAST TIME IT WAS NOTICED AND THE CAR IS NO LONGER BEING DRIVEN. * I WONDER IF THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT MY CELL PHONE THAT CAUSES INTERFERENCE WITH MY TV AND RADIO CAUSES AN INTERFERENCE WITH THE ETC SYSTEM? *TR

I EXPERIENCED A RUNAWAY ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING MY 2010 CAMRY LE V6 (MADE IN JAPAN). WHILE LEAVING THE PARKING LOT OF MY WORK PLACE I WAS TRYING TO PULL AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN AND THE ENGINE REVVED OUT OF CONTROL. AS I TRIED TO PULL AWAY FROM THE STOP SIGN THE TIRES SLIPPED BECAUSE IT HAD JUST SNOWED. I GAVE IT A BIT MORE GAS TO GET OVER THE SNOW WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO PULL AWAY FROM THE STOP SIGN THE ENGINE REVVED OUT OF CONTROL. I PRESSED AND HELD DOWN ON THE BRAKE, THE CAR CONTINUED TO PULL FORWARD, I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE WAS AT REDLINE FOR ABOUT 10 MORE SECONDS THEN RETURNED TO NORMAL. AT NO TIME DID I FLOOR THE ACCELERATOR, IT WAS NOT STUCK. I STEPPED DOWN ON THE GAS JUST A BIT TO CLEAR THE SNOW PATCH AND THE ENGINE JUST REVVED OUT OF CONTROL. I AM LUCKY THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN IN TRAFFIC, AND I KNEW ENOUGH TO HOLD DOWN FIRM ON THE BRAKE, OR THERE COULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. *TR
