NHTSA Complaint #10542744 — 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA

I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 70MPH. MY EXIT WAS COMING UP ON THE RIGHT SIDE SO I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN. HOWEVER THE BRAKE STUCK AND THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T SLOW DOWN, IT KEPT GOING. I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL ON, AND USUALLY IF I BRAKE WITHOUT FIRST TURNING IT OFF IT SLOWS DOWN, BUT THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN. SO I TURNED THE CRUISE CONTROL OFF BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. MY CAR KEPT GOING. I PUSHED DOWN ON THE BRAKE, BUT THAT MADE THE CAR ACCELERATE EVEN MORE. I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THE PEDAL WASN'T STUCK, IT WASN'T, BUT I KNEW THAT WASN'T THE PROBLEM BECAUSE MY CAR WAS ACCELERATING WHEN I WAS HITTING THE BRAKE. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONE IN FRONT OF ME BECAUSE I WAS GOING OVER 110MPH. I SPED AT THIS SPEED FOR QUITE A WAYS MAYBE 3/4 OF A MILE. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE AND HAD MY PHONE IN MY HAD TO CALL 911. I KEPT PUSHING ON THE BRAKE SINCE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO (THIS OF COURSE MADE ME GO FASTER AND FASTER). THE BRAKE WOULDN'T GO DOWN THOUGH. I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS HAPPENING. IT WAS LIKE STUCK? FINALLY I HEARD MY ACCELERATE POP. AND THE CAR STARTED TO DECELERATE. *TR
