2011 Toyota Camry

I WAS IN A SLOW LANE OF TRAFFIC GOING AROUND A MAIL CARRIER. SUDDENLY, MY CAR SPED UP, ON ITS' OWN. I HAD TO AVOID THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND MET ABOUT 4-5 CARS HEAD ON. THANK GOODNESS, THE CARS I WAS MEETING PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND LET ME ZOOM THRU. I PROBABLY TOOK ABOUT 20 TO 30 SECONDS FOR ME TO STOP. AS I STARTED AROUND THE OTHER CARS I APPLIED MY BRAKES AND THEY MADE A SCREECHING SOUND BUT DID NOT STOP THE CAR. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST MY CAR WENT??? MY CAR LEFT NO SKID MARKS, I HAVE A CASE NUMBER WITH TOYOTA AND WAS TOLD TO GO TO MY TOYOTA DEALER WHICH I DID A WEEK OR SO LATER AFTER READING DESCRIPTIONS OF THE SAME THING HAPPENING TO OTHER TOYOTA DRIVERS. THE SERVICE MAN SHOWED ME WHAT TO DO IN CASE THAT SHOULD HAPPEN AGAIN, INDICATING TO ME THERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH OTHER 2011 TOYOTA'S. *TR

AS I PULLED ON TO THE DRIVEWAY AT A FUNERAL HOME, MY CAR STARTED SPEEDING, CRASHED INTO A BRICK WALL, AT WHICH THE AIR BAG POPPED OPEN, THE CAR BOUNCED OFF THE WALL, STARTED SPINNING IN CIRCLES, CRASHED OVER A CONCRETE BARRIER, AND STARTED SPINNING AGAIN AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER CAR WHICH WAS TOTALED. I THOUGHT I WAS APPLYING THE BRAKES & EVEN TRIED TO TURN THE CAR OFF WITH THE KEY. BUT AFTER THE CRASH PEOPLE ASKED ME IF I HAD MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR, AND I SAID I MUST HAVE, BUT COULDN'T UNDERSTAND HOW I COULD HAVE MISTAKEN ONE FOR THE OTHER. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING SINCE 18 YEARS OF AGE, AND HAVE NEVER HAD THAT HAPPEN. I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND HOW AND TOLD MY DOCTOR I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE AGAIN (4 DAYS AFTER THE ACCIDENT) HE TOLD ME TO WAIT A MONTH OR TWO UNTIL I WAS FEELING BETTER FROM THE SEVERE SPRAIN TO MY NECK AND SHOULDER, AND BAD BRUISING OF MY BREAST ABOUT A MONTH AGO MY BROTHER IN FLORIDA TOLD ME ABOUT PROBLEMS WITH MY MODEL OF TOYOTA WITH THE ACCELERATOR STICKING. I NEVER REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT THAT COULD HAVE BEEN THE CAUSE, NOTHING ELSE MADE SENSE TO ME UNLESS I WAS LOOSING MY MIND, AND EVERYBODY I KNOW ASSURE ME "NO" *TR
