The past few days have seen a new rash of stories about <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/toyota/">Toyotas</a> run amok. First, a 2009 <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/venza">Venza</a> struck a house in Hamilton, Ontario. According to <em>The Hamilton Spectator</em>, the driver said he lost control of the vehicle after experiencing uncontrolled acceleration. While 2009-2010 Venzas were recalled for the infamous floor-mat issue, police have yet to determine whether the Hamilton incident was a result of faulty hardware or driver error. No one was injured.<br />
<br />
<em>The Seboygan Press</em> is also reporting that a 2009 <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/camry">Camry</a> accelerated and climbed a small embankment while the driver had her foot on the brake in Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin. The 76 year-old driver, Myrna Marseille, suffered a broken sternum from the impact. In Marseille's case, her Camry had already been serviced to correct the floor mat interference issue.<br />
<br />
The reports join those of a San Diego man who had to <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/03/15/toyota-agrees-with-nhtsa-investigation-of-runaway-prius-but-not/">call on the police</a> to help him slow down his <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/prius">Prius</a> after high-speed stint on the interstate and another Prius <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/03/10/report-another-prius-accelerates-unintentionally-in-new-york-an/">crash in New York</a>. In the California case, both the NHTSA and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/toyota/">Toyota</a> found nothing wrong with the car (though the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/03/18/chp-report-seemingly-sides-with-sikes-on-case-of-the-runaway-pri/">California Highway Patrol's view</a> may differ). Likewise, the New York incident was found to be driver error.<br />
