Consumer Description

PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY TO PARK MY 2005 TACOMA AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY TACOMA ACCELERATES FORWARD AND PLUNGES INTO THE REAR END OF MY 2000 CORVETTE WHICH WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE, AND DOES $1321.22 IN DAMAGE. THE FORCE FROM THE TACOMA KNOCKED MY CORVETTE ABOUT 3 FEET FORWARD INTO A FREEZER IN THE GARAGE. I WAS APPROXIMATELY 6 FEET BEHIND THE CORVETTE, AND THE CORVETTE WAS IN GEAR AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS APPLIED, WHEN THE TACOMA SUDDENLY ACCELERATED FORWARD. I HAVE BEEN PARKING IN SAME LOCATION OR 9 YEARS AND THIS HAS NEVER OCCURRED BEFORE. I HAVE HAD ALL RECALLS DONE CONCERNING THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION PROBLEM WITH THE TACOMA. THIS WAS NOT A PEDAL PROBLEM, IT IS A TOYOTA PROBLEM. IF HIS HAD HAPPENED AT A INTERSECTION WHO KNOWS WHAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED. SOMEONE NEEDS TO "FIX" THIS PROBLEM. *TR
