| 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 | |||
