I PURCHASED A 2005 TOYOTA CAMRY XLE- 6 CYLINDER, NEW IN FALL OF 2004. AT PRESENT I HAVE UNDER 22,000 MILES ON IT. DURING MY LIMITED DRIVING OF THIS VEHICLE I HAVE EXPERIENCED AT LEAST 5 EPISODES OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. I RECENTLY DISCOVERED THAT ANOTHER FAMILY MEMBER HAD A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE WHILE DRIVING MY CAR. THE LAST EXPERIENCE HAPPENED ON 12/16/09. I HAD A PASSENGER IN THE CAR WITH ME AT THE TIME. EACH EPISODE IS MORE VIOLENT THAN PREVIOUS ONES. I HAVE HAD THE CAR LOOKED AT THOROUGHLY BY THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER. THE FIRST TIME THEY LOOKED AT IT WAS JULY 6/09. SINCE THEY CANNOT "MAKE IT HAPPEN" THEY SAID, THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. SINCE TOYOTA ANNOUNCED PROBLEMS I HAVE CALLED THEM ON 2 OCCASIONS AND HAVE 2 CASE NUMBERS ASSIGNED. THE CAR WAS LAST EXAMINED BY THE DEALER ON 12/22/09. I WAS TOLD TO WAIT UNTIL THE RECALL WAS OFFICIAL AND SEE IF 2005 CAMRYS WERE ADDED TO THE LIST. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN. THE CAR IS SETTING IN MY GARAGE AND HASN'T BEEN DRIVEN SINCE 12/22/09. I HATE TO THINK WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED HAD I DRIVEN THIS CAR AS MUCH AS I DID MY PREVIOUS CAMRY, A 1994 WITH WELL OVER 200,000 MILES AT PRESENT. *TR
