2011 Toyota Camry

ON SUNDAY EVENING APRIL 12 I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT THE HOLIDAY INN IN EAST BRUNSWICK NJ. WHEN I APPLIED THE BREAK, MY VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. IT JUMPED THE CURBING IN FRONT OF THE PARKING SPACE, SWIPED THE FRONT OF A PARKED VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A STONE BIRDBATH IN FRONT OF THE HOTEL. MIRACULOUSLY I ESCAPED WITH A RATHER UGLY BRUISE TO MY LEFT FOREARM AND TO MY RIGHT BREAST FROM SEAT BELT PRESSURE. MY AIRBAG DID NOT OPEN. I WILL SEND THE POLICE REPORT IN ANOTHER EMAIL. IT SAYS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PARK IN A "HANDICAPPED" SPOT. I WAS NOT. I AM NOT HANDICAPPED. IT ALSO SAYS I "INADVERTENTLY" APPLIED THE GAS INSTEAD OF THE BREAK. I NEVER TOLD ANYONE THAT. I WAS FULLY AWAKE, CONSCIOUS AND APPLIED THE BREAK. I SENT A DATA IMAGING AUTHORIZATION AND CONSENT FORM TO [XXX]. I HAVE TO ENTER A PLEA BY MAIL TO CARELESS DRIVING CHARGES BY 5/18/15. I REQUESTED THAT HOLIDAY INN PROVIDE ME WITH SURVEILLANCE VIDEO BUT WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD "DEAL DIRECTLY" WITH THE INSURANCE COMPANY. I WAS NOTIFIED ON APRIL 27TH THAT MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. I WAS NOTIFIED ON APRIL 29TH THAT THE VEHICLE'S "BLACK BOX" (FOR LACK OF A BETTER DESCRIPTION AT THE MOMENT) WOULD BE INSPECTED ON APRIL 30TH AND I WOULD RECEIVED A REPORT ON MAY 4TH. I HAVE NO IDEA AS TO WHERE TO GO FROM HERE. I NEED HELP. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I AM WRITING BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT TOYOTA MAY HAVE UNDERREPORTED A PROBLEM WITH THE VOLUNTARY RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 13V014000. I OWN A 2011 TOYOTA CAMRY. HOWEVER, MY VIN WAS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL, OR NEITHER I NOR MY DEALER RECEIVED NOTICE. AS YOU KNOW, THIS RECALL IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FAILURE OF THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG TO INFLATE IN AN ACCIDENT. ON FEBRUARY 17, 2015, MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WERE T-BONED, WITH THE STRIKING CAR HITTING THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AND B-PILLAR AREA FLUSH AT ABOUT 40 MPH. ALTHOUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR CURTAIN DEPLOYED, THE RIGHT SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT. MY DAUGHTER RECEIVED SOME INJURIES FROM THE FAILURE OF THIS AIRBAG TO INFLATE AND PROTECT HER. TOYOTA DID VISIT THE VEHICLE AFTER THE COLLISION AND DOWNLOADED THE DATA FROM THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE, AND IT SHOWED A FAILURE OF THAT AIRBAG. I TRIED TO ATTACH A COPY OF THE DOWNLOADED DATA FOR YOUR REVIEW, BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO ATTACH IT. PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW TO SEND YOU THIS PDF FILE. I AM CONCERNED THAT MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND THAT PERHAPS TOYOTA HAS UNDERREPORTED THE EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM, PUTTING MORE UNSUSPECTING TOYOTA CUSTOMERS AT RISK. IF YOU NEED ANY FURTHER INFORMATION FROM ME, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. MY CELL PHONE NUMBER IS [XXX]. I WOULD LIKE TO BE KEPT IN THE INFORMATION LOOP REGARDING ANY INVESTIGATION OF TOYOTA THAT RESULTS FROM MY COMPLAINT.

THE AIRBAG IN THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT DEPLOY. FORTUNATELY I WAS WEARING MY SEATBELT AND HAVE LOTS OF SORENESS AND BRUISING ON MY CHEST, AND SEVERE MEMORY LOSS AROUND THE INCIDENT.
