Consumer Description

A 1992 TOYOTA 4-RUNNER WAS PURCHASED AND WE ONLY HAD IT FOR TWO WEEKS. THE TRUCK WAS DRIVEN TO WEST VIRGINIA. THE NEXT DAY THE TRUCK SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AT A HIGH SPEED AND WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED IT WOULD NOT STOP. IT CRASHED AND FLIPPED OVER. MY HUSBAND DIED IN THAT TRUCK. THERE WAS A LAW SUITE BUT IT NEVER WENT TO COURT AFTER FIVE YEARS. MY LAWYERS GAVE UP. TOYOTA NEVER SETTLED WITH ME AND ONLY SAID IT WAS DRIVER ERROR. THE ENGINEER WHO WAS ON THE CASE SAID THERE WAS A DESIGN DEFECT BUT THEY COULD NOT PROVE IT. SEE ALSO ODI 10121117 *DSY *TR
