| I was driving to work one day and my 1995 toyota camry started accelerating on its own on the freeway, at first i thought i was imagining it. i hit the brakes and it would not slow down. the car kept accelerating faster and faster on it's own till it went up to 90 mph. i pulled on my emergency brakes, that slowed the car down a bit but not by very much. it mostly just made a cement grinding sound. it was really scary i felt like i was in a death machine. luckily there weren't very many people on the freeway that day, so i just swerved out of the way of the other cars. i finally got it to slow down enough with the emergency break and i immediately turned my car off and had it towed to a mechanic who repaired the issue. i was really lucky, i think if there were more people on the freeway that day, there would have been a very different outcome. *tr | |||

| I was driving my 1995 toyota camry on highway, clear day and road conditions at 73 mph, and all of a sudden the speed jumped to 100 mph without any right pedal push. i took off my leg from the right pedal even then it was continuing to go at 100 mph, and luckily no traffic was there around me, so i tried to apply brakes and wasn't able to get the speed down, then put down the vehicle into parking and shut down my engine. with this the vehicle stopped. i started it again and drove another 100 miles before taking it to dealer and did not see this problem . the toyota dealer couldn't diagnose anything wrong in the car and suggested to clean fuel injectors but not sure if this is going to fix the problem or not. | |||

| The incident occurred at approximately 5:45 p.m. in heavy traffic in minneapolis. it was a warm, sunny afternoon. i was driving on a road that had very heavy traffic and was controlled by stop lights. the speed limit was 35 with most cars going about 40-45. for a few miles my car had been slowly increasing in rpm's and had been accelerating on it's own without my needing to use the accelerator pedal. i actually needed to keep my foot on the brake at all times to keep the car in control and around the speed limit. it was controllable until, suddenly, it shot up to 5,000+ rpm's and then, even with both feet on the brake pedal attempting to stop the car, the car would not slow. i was approaching a stoplight with stopped cars and as my car would not slow, within 20-30 feet of the stopped car, and still at a speed of about 30 miles per hour, i put the car into park and it violently jolted to a stop. the car was in the middle of road in traffic and sat there for 15-20 minutes. during this time, i attempted to start the car on 2-3 occasions and each time as soon as the car was started it immediately went up to 5,000+ rmps . the car was eventually pushed into a parking lot and sat for 2-3 hours. after this time, it started normally and ran normally. it was driven straight to a toyota dealership and the scenario was described to the service department. they diagnosed it and examined the car and there was nothing found wrong with the vehicle. | |||
