Consumer Description

I HAVE A TOYOTA MATRIX 2003. ON FEBRUARY 19, 2010 I WAS DRIVING NORTH ON HIGHWAY 101 IN CALIFORNIA. I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 35 MPH MY DISTANCE FROM THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME WAS ABOUT 1/2 A BLOCK. SUDDENLY THE TRAFFIC SLOWED DOWN AND I IMMEDIATELY STARTED SLOWING DOWN, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP AND IT FELT LIKE IT WAS ACCELERATING INSTEAD. I CRASH INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME WITH SEVERAL DAMAGES TO MY CAR, TOTAL LOSS OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND WITH BODY INJURIES TO MYSELF. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED ON A TOYOTA MATRIX IN 2006 I HAD ANOTHER ACCIDENT THAT PUT ME OUT OF WORK AND WITH PERMANENT DISABILITY PROBLEMS. BOTH INCIDENTS DUE TO SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES. I WILL LIKE TO DO FARTHER INVESTIGATION ON THIS ISSUE. *TR
