NHTSA Complaint #10367825 — 2003 TOYOTA COROLLA

ON NOVEMBER 16, 2010, WHILE TRYING TO PARK MY TOYOTA COROLLA 2003, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED UNINTENTIONALLY CRASHING INTO A FENCE CONTINUED BY CRASHING INTO SOME WOODEN PALLETS. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE CAR. MY DAUGHTER A FEW WEEKS BEFORE NOTICED THAT THE CAR WILL STAY ACCELERATED TO A MINIMUM OF 1800RPM. THE AIR BAGS WERE NOT ACTIVATED AND I DID NOT RECEIVED MAJOR INJURY. MY NECK WAS HURTING FOR A WHILE. I WAS LUCKY BECAUSE THERE WERE TWO PROPANE TANKS FOLLOWING THE FENCE. MY SON NOTIFIED TOYOTA IN PUERTO RICO AND FILED A COMPLAINT #CR12287. HE WAS TOLD THAT MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS BECAUSE IT DID NOT HAVE AN ELECTRONIC FUEL CONTROL UNIT AND THAT THE GAS IN MY CAR OPERATED BY A CABLE. THE AUTO SHOP MECHANICS THAT REPAIRED ALL THE FRONT DAMAGE OF THE CAR NOTICED THE CAR ACCELERATOR TOO HIGH. ON NOVEMBER 24, 2010 THE CAR WAS PICKED UP BY MY SON AND WAS TAKEN TO TOYOTA FOR INSPECTION. THE TOYOTA EMPLOYEE TRIED TO CONVINCE MY SON TO SIGN AN AUTHORIZATION TO ACCESS ALL THE DATA IN THE CAR COMPUTER MEMORY BUT WILL NOT PROVIDE A COPY OF THE DATA TO THE CUSTOMER. MY SON REFUSED TO SIGN THE RELEASE FORM. WAITING FOR THE RESULTS OF THE INSPECTION. *TR
