Toyota Camry transmission problems

2002 TOYOTA CAMRY 2.4L, AUTOMATIC SUDDEN ENGINE RACING, ONCE AT 17,000 MLS. AND AGAIN AT 18,030. THE FIRST TIME ,MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE ,I SHIFTED OUT OF PARK INTO D , WHEN I LET OFF THE BRAKE ,THE ENGINE RACED PAST 5000 RPMS. THE CAR JUMPED FORWARD ,BUT BECAUSE MY FOOT WAS STILL OVER THE BRAKE PEDAL I ONLY HAD TO PUSHED HARD AS POSSIBLE ON THE BRAKE. THE ENGINE RACED ON ,THE CAR WAS STRAINING TO COLLIDE WITH THE CAR PARKED IN FRONT OF ME. I SLAMMED THE SHIFTER INTO PARK.THE CAR STOPPED MOVING BUT THE ENGINE WENT TO REDLINE, I TURNED THE CAR OFF.I CHECKED WHICH PEDAL MY FOOT WAS ON AND IT WAS STILL PRESSED FIRMLY ON THE BRAKES. I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON,THE CAR BEHAVED NORMALLY. I THINK WHEN SHIFTING OUT OF PARK THE DRIVE-BY-WIRE COMPUTER IS MALFUNTIONING. RECALL THEM BEFORE SOMEONE DIES AND OR GETS HURT. I THINK TOYOTA KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND HOW TO FIX IT. I PITY THE PERSON WHO RENTS A CAMRY AN IS UNAWARE OF THE DEFECT AND DOESN'T HAVE THERE FOOT READY ON THE BRAKE AND PREPARED TO SHUT OF THE IGNITION SAFELY. *AK

I SAW AN ARTICLE TODAY ON WWW.CNNFN.COM ABOUT TOYOTA CAMRY SAFETY INVESTIGATION REGARDING SUDDEN ACCELERATION. MY 2002 TOYOTA CAMRY LE HAS THAT PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED TO ME 3 OR 4 TIMES ALREADY DURING LOW SPEED DRIVING. I DID NOT WRITE DOWN THE DATES WHEN IT HAPPENED, SO I PLACED 12/01/03 BELOW. UPDATED 10/22/10 *BF I AM ALSO GOING TO REPORT THIS PROBLEM TO MY SERVICE AS SOON AS I CAN. THE CONSUMER WOULD LIKE THE COMPLAINT TO REMAIN ACTIVATED. UPDATED IVOQ 10/26/10*JB

(IN REFERENCE TO YOUR OPEN INVESTIGATION PE04021) I HAVE A 2002 TOYOTA CAMRY, RECENTLY I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP (15,000 MILES), MY COMPLAINT WAS THAT THE CAR HAS SUDDEN AND SHORT SURGES OF EXCELERATION WHILE AT A FULL STOP. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AVOID ACCIDENT OR INJURY TO OTHERS BY KEEPING MY FOOT COMPLETELY AND FIRMLY DEPRESSED ON THE BRAKE PETAL. THIS SITUATION HAS HAPPENED IN BOTH DRIVE AND REVERSE. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT RE-CREATE THE CONDITION. DEALER STATED THAT THEY HAD NO PROCEDURE TO DIAGNOSE THIS PROBLEM AND THAT IF IT CONTINUED THEY WOULD HAVE TO CONTRACT TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS FOR ADVISE. I REQUESTED THAT THIS BE DOCUMENTED ON THE CARS HISTORY. AFTER HEARING OF THE NHTSA INVESTIGATION, I CONTACTED TOYOTA CUSTOMER RELATIONS TO OPEN A CASE TO GET THIS PROBLEM RESOLVE. THE DEALERSHIP CUSTOMER RALATIONS MANAGER (COLLEEN) IS TO CONTACT ME BY THE END OF THE WEEK.
