July 2016 I was pulling away from my bank atm at approx.2-5 MPH in my 2011 toyota camry when the car took off. The car accelerated so fast. I hit the brakes but it didn't stop the car. I missed a car and a van, went up over the parking block and hit a pole. That stopped me! I had 2 passengers in the car. Somehow no one got hurt. I had 3 blown tires and the right side window broken out with damage to that door. The front bumper was pulled from the body. The car has damage to the tie rod and will have to be replaced. Front end alignment will also have to be done. My car had to be towed home. Airbags did not deploy. I called the dealership from which I bought it from but it's been over 10 days and several phone calls with no response. This seems to be a problem with 2011 camry's from the complaints I have read. When will something be done about this, after a death? The problem needs to be addressed asap.

- What is wrong
- Southeast Toyota Distributors, LLC (SET) is recalling certain models interspersed through model years 2009 through 2013 as follows: model year 2009-2012 Tacoma, 4Runner, Camry, Camry Hybrid, Prius, and RAV4; model year 2009-2010 Avalon, FJ Cruiser, and Highlander Hybrid; model year 2010-2013 model year Corolla, Sienna and Tundra; model year 2009-2013 Highlander and Venza; model year 2012 Prius V; and model year 2010-2012 Sequoia. During modification by SET to include accessories such as leather seat covers, seat heaters or headrest DVD systems, these vehicles may not have had the passenger seat occupant sensing system calibration tested. Without passing the calibration test, the occupant sensing system may not operate as designed.
- Risk
- If the front passenger seat occupant sensing system is out of calibration, the front passenger airbags may not deploy or they may deploy inappropriately for the passenger's size and position. This could increase the risk of personal injury during the event of a vehicle crash necessitating airbag deployment.
- Remedy
- Southeast Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will test the sensitivity of the occupant detection sensors, and recalibrate them as necessary. The recall began on March 21, 2013. Owners may contact Southeast Toyota at 1‑800‑301‑6859.
