Several times in the last 6 months since my wife purchased a previously owned 1992 toyota camry, the car has accelerated on it's own with no one depressing the accelerator pedal. She said it feels as though the cruise control system has taken over control of the car. This phenomenon has taken place at speeds above 55 MPH and as slow as 15 MPH. A co-worker of my wife's sister has a toyota and has described exactly the same thing happening while she is driving her car.
