The crash happened in a parking lot on march 19th, 2016. I had entered into the parking spot, by turning right. The car had come to a complete stop and my foot was on the brake pedal. Suddenly I heard a loud revving noise and before I could even react to it, the car had jumped on to the walkway of the building. Since I had stopped, my foot was on the brake pedal and even though I was pressing on it really hard, the car didn't stop. It slowed down a little bit for a fraction of a second, but then accelerated itself again, jumped ahead once more, went through the awning of a business suite in the building and hit a light post. The airbags didn't deploy. The car was totaled. As, I had turned right to enter into the parking spot, the steering wheel was still turned to the right and the car turned right and went parallel to the cinder block wall of the building, instead of going straight and hitting the wall, which could have turned fatal for me and my child. This vehical had been recalled earlier. I had received the recall notice from toyota in early 2010 for "potential floor mat interference with accelerator pedal (safety recall 90l)" and had it repaired in may 2010, from a local toyota service center.

Camry is hit by a pick up truck on the left passenger side, causing the camry to lose control and rotate more than 360 degrees on the road but none of the airbags, even the side airbags deployed. I called toyota and asked by the side airbags did not deploy and was told that they could inspect it but they will be charging me $99 to check why the airbags didn't deploy. I was obviously distraught over the fact that they will charge me first before they can look at a potential safety issue about my vehicle and the person we talked to just basically asked me to call back if I wanted them to look into it and hung up.

Slowly entered rite aid parking lot at 5-10 MPH. Turned right into a parking spot. Lightly tapped the brake and the accelerator went faster than if you were driving on the highway. Car jumped the concrete bumper onto the walkway. Had to cut the wheel all the way to the right to avoid hitting the brick wall of the store and drove into the parking lot guard rail. Car went into a high speed skid and when it came out of the skid was still accelerating at a very high speed and had to turn the ignition off for it to stop. There were skid marks and smoke. Air bag did not go off. Waiting to hear from toyota with a date to have the car inspected. Would like for toyota to buy back my car which we have spent top dollar having toyota maintain it for the last five years, which included the 100,000 mile service just a week or two before the accident. Do not feel safe driving this car again. Please advise.

A spider got into the A/C drainage tube causing water to drip inside of the car. This caused the airbag light to go on in the car. Prior to bringing it to the dealer I cleaned out the car and noticed the floor was soaking wet under all of the mats. The dealer told me I could not drive the vehicle with the airbag light on that it is dangerous. I was informed that it would not be covered by the platinum warranty I took out when I purchased the car. I had to pay for the repairs even though it's a hazard. Today I found out that there was a recall on camrys, avalons and others but for the 2012 and 13 models. I called toyota headquarters and they told me they would not reimburse me because my car was not included in the recall even though it's the exact same issue. I'm lucky the airbag did not deploy on it's own and cause damage to me. Please help!! Thank you.
