Consumer Description

MY 2003 TOYOTA COROLLA EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN ACCELERATION PROBLEM TWICE. THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER AND TOYOTA'S FIELD TECHNICAL SPECIALIST REFUSED TO BELIEVE THE CAR WOULD HAVE ACCELERATED BY ITSELF UNLESS I HAD PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR. NO WAY!!!! THEY SAID IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE CAR TO HAVE PICKED UP SELF-ACCELERATION. THEY WERE UNABLE TO PINPOINT ANY PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION! I WAS LUCKY NOBODY WAS HURT OR KILLED.
