| Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). i purchase a 2006 camry in dec. 2005. within weeks the oxygen sensor needed replacement. jan 2006 as i entered 290w in northboro ma the car accelerated from 10mph to 80 +mph without warning. as traffic was bumper to bumper the car slammed into the back of a semi trailer. when the car was repaired of course i was told i had stepped on the gas not the brake. this was not true!!! however, having no other explanation i accepted the cause. however, as many as 2 dozen times the car accelerated when parking into a spot. i had been instructed to shift the car into neutral if this ever happened again, and i did. i drove the car for 3 years, took it to dealers, tried to file a lemon law complaint, but to no avail. i have finally traded in the auto and want to recoup my $4000.00 of deductibles and surcharges that i paid for no fault of mine. how do i do this.

| My 2006 camry ranaway on rt 290 west when it was a few months old following the replacement of an oxysendor and installation of toyota floor mats. i could not stop the car as it entered the highway and thus i rearended a semi who never even knew that i hit him. yet, greater than 2000.00 of damage happened to my auto. i have paid nearly 3000.00 in penalties for an accident which i had no control over. from thence, i was told to put my car in neutral when i stopped at lights etc. it tried to runaway at least 20 times sporadically.. i took it to toyota dealers who told me that nothing was wrong with the car. i tried to file a lemon law. it was 3 yrs of driving in ?!@#$% never knowing what could happen next. i have witnesses. *tr | |||
