| 2006 solara was driven by my son who was found dead in a canal on 1/28/08 by a passerby. the car had the tendency to have the floor mat on the drivers side ride up, which i was used to as it was my car. therefore, i suspect the floor mat rode up onto accelerator pedal causing car to be unable to stop without turning off the engine. the car was found upside down with the car in park with the keys removed in 4' of water with my only child laying face down in the water dead. since the recall came after his death, the car had already been salvaged and not able to have proof to determine cause. | |||

| I am reporting 2 instances of unintended throttle acceleration in my 2006 solara. circumstances in both cases were similar. the two cases: (1) approximately november 1, 2009 -- i was driving slowly in a parking lot. i braked to make a turn when the engine suddenly accelerated violently. stepping hard on the brake and pulling the shifter into n stopped the acceleration. the car then operated normally. (2) approximately december 20, 2009 -- i was pulling slowly into a parking place in front of a post office when the engine suddenly accelerated violently. stepping hard on the brake and pulling the shifter into n stopped the acceleration. the car then operated normally. obviously i am concerned about this problem especially with the publicity and recalls but understand that my model is not on recall. *tr | |||
