My 2009 toyota camry. Until today, i thought this might be a big hoax, but it happened today at 2:55 pm on my way to work. My car accelerated without warning. I fortunately was only traveling on a side road for a brief moment and was able to hit the brakes and shift into neutral and then stop the car. About 2 weeks ago i had the "recall" correction completed. Never had an issue prior to this "correction". *tr
