I have a 2005 toyota camry that i feel accelerates even after the brakes has been applied. I had taken my car to the dealership to check it however was advised that there was no problem with my car. Anyhow after all this i don't feel driving a toyota is safe for me and my family. I am hopeful that the authorities should also look at 2005 and 2006 camry's. *tr

Accelerator stuck and car advanced. Significant damaged avoided by swerving auto to miss house & go through landscaping. Car taken into repair shop next day & nothing found. Contacted toyota & no help at that time. Therefore, no corrective action. Rugs were not an issue. This year & model is not part of the recall but i believe it should be. *tr
