VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:LINKAGES
I WAS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC ON IH-35 IN AUSTIN DUE TO AN ACCIDENT AHEAD. I HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE TO AN EXIT LANE AND AFTER MOVING TO THAT LANE, NOTICED A VEHICLE COMING TOWARD ME AT HIGH SPEED. MY WAY WAS CLEAR TO ACCELERATE AND I DID SO, PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR ABOUT 1/2 THE WAY DOWN. NOTHING HAPPENED AND I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR THE REMAINDER TO THE FLOOR. AFTER A SHORT TIME, THE ENGINE FINALLY ACCELERATED. THREE DAYS LATER, ON DEC. 7, I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAD HAPPENED. AFTER EXAMINING THE CAR, THE DEALER CALLED TO EXPLAIN THAT THEY HAD CHECKED THE CAR OVER AND EVERTHING WAS FINE. HE FURTHER EXPLAINED THAT THE 2004 CAMRY WAS EQUIPPED WITH A "DRIVE-BY-WIRE" ACCELERATOR. NO ONE WAS INJURED, NO DAMAGE WAS DONE, BUT I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS CAR WILL NOT RESPOND QUICKLY IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. NOR DO I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS AN ISOLATED SITUATION. WE HAD DRIVEN A DEMONSTRATOR, A 4 CYLINDER CAMRY, ABOUT SIX MONTHS BEFORE WE PURCHASED OURS. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND PRESSED HARD ON THE ACCELERATOR TO GET IT TO MOVE UP AN ENTRANCE RAMP AND IT ALSO DID NOT RESPOND. AT THAT TIME, I DIDN'T PLACE ANY SIGNIFICANCE TO THE CAR NOT RESPONDING, THINKING MY WIFE WASN'T ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE A QUICKLY AS SHE INSISTED. *AK
