This is 2009 toyota camry. I was getting out of parking garage. As soon as I put my gear to "d" and pressed the gas pedal a little bit, it started to speed up and the gas pad got stuck. I didn't have much room to stop the car and the car hit the pillar in front of me.

With the media coverage of toyota problems, I saw a woman interviewed who complained of "sudden acceleration" with her toyota while braking. I recognized that it is something I have experienced frequently with our 2009 camry XLE v6 w. 6 speed auto trans. It is not a "sudden acceleration" problem, but a sudden free-wheeling problem, most noticeable when driving on level or downhill roads. As you brake to come to a stop, the auto trans.
