| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: i had pulled slowly into a parking space. i had my foot on the brake. i was stopped. i was putting the car into the park position when the car suddenly surge forward at a high rate of speed. my foot was on the brake the entire time. the car went over the cement block into the parking space, jumped over a cement curb onto a grassy center island and finally stopped when i hit a tree. i have pictures of skid marks on the grassy area and the pavement to show that i had my foot on the brake and i was trying to stop the car. the car was totaled, and i sustained bruises from the airbag and the seat belt. i contacted toyota. they sent an engineer to inspect the car. the engineer said that he could not recreate the problem and nothing was wrong with the car. i knew that my foot was on the brake, not the gas pedal. even if it was on the gas pedal, i was parking and certainly would not have stomped on the gas pedal to make the car surge out of control as it did. *ak |
