“While in a parking lot in gridlock traffic leaving an event my 2016 Toyota Camry made a loud thump noise as if was releasing the brake. The car then literally made a sudden acceleration forward and it would not stop. Because it was gridlock in the parking lot the only way it was going to stop was to hit a person or another car. My Camry hit 2 cars and finally stopped. The car at the time was not in motion but in drive with the foot on the brake”

NHTSA complaint #10991889, filed 2017-05, 9,000 miles“Vehicle has 18k miles when this happened. I drove from work to grocery store. After leaving the store I stopped at a red light, the ABS warning came on then check electrical charging system warning. I put the car in park, then I couldn't get it in gear again. I exited the vehicle to wave the cars behind me to go around because the flashers didn't work. After I got all the other cars past me, I called my husband to come and get me. He suggested that I try restarting the car again, with more pressure on the brakes. This time, it started and I moved it to a nearby parking lot. …”

When I applied the brakes multiple times, the car would not stop and it continued forward until I rear ended the other car. When I applied the brakes, I noticed the brake pedal began to pump. Not sure if this was the ABS in action but the car would not stop until it rear ended the other car. Only a scratch was done to the other car. There was adequate space between my car and the car that I rear ended and there were no skid marks just a collision. …”
