Consumer Description

UNCONTROLLABLE ACCELERATION IN A 1998 TOYOTA COROLLA. MERGING ONTO 35W S AT COUNTY C. ACCELERATED FOR MERGE. TOOK FOOT OFF ACCELERATOR AFTER MERGING. CAR KEPT ACCELERATING. PRESSED ON BRAKE AND PUT ON HAND BRAKE. THIS ONLY SLOWED ACCELERATION. I GOT OVER TO THE FAST LANE. CAR WAS DOING MORE THAN 70 MPH AT THIS STAGE. I DECIDED TO TAKE FOOT OFF BRAKE, RELEASE HAND-BRAKE AND PRESS DOWN ACCELERATOR PEDDLE. THIS INCREASED ACCELERATION, BUT ON TAKING FOOT OFF ACCELERATOR, THE CAR SLOWED. AT THIS STAGE I HAD MISSED MY EXIT FOR HIGHWAY 280. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE THAT THE HIGHWAY WAS NOT BUSY AT THE TIME. DATE IS VERY APPROXIMATE. INCIDENT OCCURRED DURING WINTER OF 2001 OR WINTER OF 2002 OR WINTER OF 2003. I STILL DRIVE THE SAME CAR AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY INCIDENT SIMILAR SINCE. AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT, I HAD PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AS FAR AS THE FLOOR. SINCE THAT TIME, I HAVE BEEN MORE RESTRAINED WITH PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. *TR
