Consumer Description

BOUGHT THIS CAR USED JUST OVER A MONTH AGO. MADE A 1 HOUR TRIP YESTERDAY WITH OUR 2 CHILDREN. SUDDEN UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION CAUSED ME TO ALMOST WRECK TWICE AS I WAS ENTERING THE CITY WE WERE VISITING. ONE WOULD'VE BEEN SERIOUS DUE TO LOCATION. BOTH TIMES OCCURRED WHEN I WAS DECELERATING TO GO AROUND SHARP TURNS BY LETTING OFF THE GAS, BUT NOT USING BREAK. PRIOR TO ENTERING TOWN, THE CRUISE HAD BEEN SET, BUT WAS TURNED OFF BEFORE ISSUE OCCURRED. I'VE BEEN A LOYAL TOYOTA OWNER FOR NEARLY 2 DECADES. WE'VE OWNED 6 DIFF TOYOTAS (TUNDRA, TACOMA, PRIUS, 2 CAMRYS, AND A LEXUS LS 400) AND HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANYTHING BUT GREAT QUALITY. UNFORTUNATELY, THE ISSUE I EXPERIENCED YESTERDAY, WITH THE NEGLIGENT MANNER IN WHICH IT SEEMS TOYOTA HAS HANDLED THESE COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS, IS SERIOUS ENOUGH TO CAUSE ME TO RECONSIDER EVER OWNING ANOTHER TOYOTA. IF IT CAN'T BE RESOLVED (WHICH IT SEEMS IT CAN'T), I'D REALLY LIKE TO GET MY MONEY BACK AND GET A DIFFERENT CAR NOW, SINCE I'VE ONLY OWNED THIS CAR ABOUT 6 WEEKS. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN MY LONG TIME FAVORITE AUTO MANUFACTURER. VERY DISAPPOINTED! I WOULD WELCOME DISCUSSION ON THIS MATTER. *TR
