2003 Toyota Camry Other or unknown Problems

“As I turned slightly right into my parking space with my foot lifting from the gas pedal toward the brake pedal, the vehicle suddenly took on a life of its own and sped up then crashed right thru the gate that divided the parking space from the sidewalk. I was in shock and thought there was a ghost of some kind that just took over the gas pedal as it sped up. My front bumper was destroyed and front grill along with the lower head lights of vehicle along with the hood of the car.”

“I too have been noticing a surge when I back up and turn the vehicle and step on the gas to drive out.

I am not sure of the mileage above as I am just backing out of a parking space and turning my car to drive, I make sure it is on low.”

“On august 7, 2020 I was parked in front of a subway restaurant. I went in and picked up my order to go. When leaving I put my car in reverse to back out of my parking spot. There was a large pole about 15 feet behind me that I slightly backed into.

I am sending it tomorrow to Toyota for service. The impact was so hard, my body is completely tense even 5 hours later. …”

“Opened the sun roof while driving in the city, a loud horrific noise occurred above my head unexpectantly, it cause me to swerve. I pulled over to the side of the road, as I initially thought something had hit my car, and no that the sun roof had decided to fail. The sun roof broke off in part, leaving the right side dipped into the frame rail. When I tried to just close it to get back on track, then you could hear the motor or mechanics of the sunroof churning. The sunroof was able to be closed complete enough not to get rained on but that is all. …”
