Consumer Description

IN JUNE 2008, WE EXPERIENCED A WRECK THAT WE AT FIRST THOUGHT MUST HAVE BEEN RELATED TO MY WIFE MISTAKENLY HITTING THE GAS WHEN SHE THOUGHT SHE HAD HIT THE BRAKE. AT THE TIME, SHE HAD JUST TURNED INTO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND WOULD HAVE BEEN TRAVELING SLOWLY BUT THE TACOMA HIT THE CENTER MEDIAN, WENT ACROSS IT AND ENDED UP IN THE OTHER SIDE FACING THE OTHER DIRECTION. IT DID CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK. AT THE TIME, THE TOYOTA DEALER MENTIONED NOTHING ABOUT ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. WE COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT HAD HAPPENED BUT HAD NO OTHER EXPLANATION. WE HAVE FULL RECORDS ON THE INCIDENT. *TR
