Consumer Description

WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY PARKING PLACE IN OUR UNDERGROUND GARAGE I PUT ON THE BRAKE TO GO FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. WHEN I PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE THE ENGINE RACED UP AND THE CAR SURGED FORWARD. I WAS ONLY 15 FEET FROM A BRICK WALL OF WHICH I HIT AT AN ANGLE. I BOUNCED OFF THIS WALL AND WENT 10 FEET FURTHER HEAD ON INTO ANOTHER WALL. I DID NOT TOUCH THE GAS PETAL, THE MATS ARE RUBBER AND WERE NOT A PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE JUST SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AS SOON AS I COULD BUT GIVEN THE FACT THAT THE TOTAL TRAVEL LENGTH WAS AROUND 30 FEET THIS WAS NOT POSSIBLE. THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA!! WE LOVE OUR CAR BUT WE ARE NOW AFRAID OF IT. MY INSURANCE RATES WILL BE GOING UP BECAUSE OF A FACTORY DEFECT AND ALL I HAVE SEEN ARE EXCUSES IN REGARDS TO THIS PROBLEM.
