Consumer Description

MY 2004 TOYOTA COROLLA HAD AN UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK. MY MOTHER (THE DRIVER AT THE TIME) REMOVED HER FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND WHILE BRAKING THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AT FULL SPEED RIGHT BEFORE GOING OVER A SPEED BUMP NEAR TO OUR RESIDENCE. MY MOTHER CRASHED INTO THE SIDE WALK AND SHE WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR USING THE PARKING BRAKE AND EVENTUALLY SHUT IT DOWN. WE WERE ABLE TO TAKE THE CAR HOME, WHERE THE CAR IS CURRENTLY PARKED BUT THE CAR WON'T START AGAIN. LUCKILY, WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY INJURIES, FIRE OR MAYOR CRASH INTO ANYTHING. WE CONTACTED TOYOTA IN WEST PALM BEACH FLORIDA AND THEY REFUSED TO FURTHER INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THE CAR IS TOO OLD. AFTER ALL EVENTS, DEATH AND ACCIDENTS RELATED TO TOYOTA UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION, I BELIEVE THIS INCIDENT NEEDS A DEEP INVESTIGATION BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO PROCEED ABOUT IT OR IF I SHOULD IGNORED AND JUST FIX THE CAR. *TR
