| 2009 toyota camry while on the state highway i set the cruise control to 70 mph, during the exit of the highway on my way home i stopped at a stop sign in back of others cars, switch the car on neutral while looking for some documents on my briefcase, when the light changed to green once again the transmission was switch to the drive position and without touching the accelerator pedal there was uncontrolled sudden acceleration incident of the car, and the tires start squealing, brake were depressed hard but the vehicle would not slow down, immediately was shifted to neutral once again, and turn off, because the car engine was in acceleration mode. lucky that it did not crashed into the rear of a brand new mercedes benz. i had never experienced this situation before. the car had been used but the cruise control has not been set up. this car was already modified with the recall of the mat and accelerator gas pedal modification. the failure and current mileage were approximately 36,500. there are about 150 similar cases all in 2009 toyota camry on internet site: http://www.aboutautomobile.com/complaint/2009/toyota/camry/vehicle+speed+control i feel that whatever mechanical fix that toyota modified, did not worked, and they should be looking at an electronic issue with the acceleration or cruise control system black box. | |||
