I WAS VISITING SOMEONE AT A HOSPITAL. I ENTERED THE PARKING GARAGE AND PROCEEDED TO THE 2ND FLOOR. I BEGAN TO ENTER A PARKING SPACE SLOWLY WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, WHEN THE CAR ACCELERATED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED ALL BY ITSELF FORWARD,SLAMMING INTO THE BARING WALL IN FRONT OF ME. AFTER CRASHING INTO THE WALL, THE ENGINE IS STILL GOING LOUDLY, (REVVING) AND THE TIRES ARE SPINNING. I WAS PUSHING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL SO HARD TO TRY AND GET THE CAR TO STOP, OR SHUT DOWN, THAT I BROKE 2 BONES IN MY FOOT. THE AIRBAGS WENT OFF, INJURING MY CHEST. I FINALLY GOT THE CAR TO STOP, BY THROWING IT IN PARK.

OCCASIONALLY, THE CAR HESITATES AFTER ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP. THE CAR WILL MOVE FORWARD FOR A FEW FEET, BUT THE GAS PEDAL WILL BECOME UNRESPONSIVE WHILE STILL STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL. IT WILL GAIN SOME ACCELERATION AFTER RELEASING AND STEPPING ON IT AGAIN. AFTER THIS HAPPENS, I HAVE TO REPEATEDLY RELEASE AND STEP ON THE GAS PEDAL BECAUSE IT IDLES FREQUENTLY PREVENTING ME FROM "MOVING FORWARD," UNTIL I REACH THE DESIRE SPEED LIMIT. THE SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSIST. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE DISAPPOINTED ONCE AGAIN.

Official recalls
2Oct 17, 2013
Toyota is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Avalon, Avalon HV, Venza, Camry, and Camry HV vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the drain hose for the air conditioning condenser may become clogged causing water to accumulate at the bottom of the air conditioning condenser unit housing. The accumulated water may then leak through a seam in the housing onto the air bag control module potentially resulting in a short circuit of the module.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A short circuit may cause the air bags to become disabled or inadvertently deploy. An inadvertent airbag deployment can increase the risk of injury or the possibility of a crash. An inoperative airbag can increase the risk of injury in a severe crash. The power steering assist could also become inoperable resulting in increased steering effort and can increase the risk of a crash at low speeds.
Remedy: Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will seal the air conditioning condenser unit housing and install a protective cover on the airbag control module, free of charge. The recall began on February 5, 2014. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.
