NHTSA Complaint #10304811 — 2001 TOYOTA COROLLA

I AM A SLOW DRIVER AND OBEY SPEED LIMITS. I KNEW I WAS COMING UP TO A STOP SIGN ON A 25 MPH ROAD, AND I ALWAYS DO A REAL STOP, NOT A SLOW DOWN AND CREEP FORWARD. A BLOCK OR TWO PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT, I PASSED SEVERAL POLICE CARS AND EVEN AN UNSAFE DRIVER WOULD HAVE CAREFULLY OBEYED THE TRAFFIC LAWS. I HAVE NO MEMORY OF THE COUPLE OF SECONDS IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO AND DURING THE ACCIDENT, AND MY FIRST MOMENT I SAW WHAT WAS HAPPENING, I HAD MY FOOT ALREADY ON THE BRAKE PUSHING DOWN HARD ON IT BUT HEADING TO THE CURB ANYWAY. I THINK THE CURB STOPPED THE CAR. MY AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE OFFICER AT THE SCENE WAS SURPRISED. I BELIEVE THIS FITS THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT SUDDEN ACCELERATION. MY CAR WAS TOTALED AND I HAD TO GET A NEW CAR. I'VE ASKED MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO INVESTIGATE, BUT THEY HAVE NOT GOTTEN BACK TO ME. *TR
