Consumer Description

OUR DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 44 IN MISSOURI AT OR NEAR GREY SUMMIT MISSOURI WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET ON, WHEN OUR 2008 TOYOTA YARIS STARTED TO ACCELERATE ON IT'S OWN. OUR DAUGHTER HAD TO SWERVE TO MISS HITTING OTHER VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY. SHE ATTEMPTED TO STOP AND THE CRUISE CONTROL DID NOT DISENGAGE. TO AVOID HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE SHE STEERED THE VEHICLE OFF THE HIGHWAY AND CRASHED HEAD ON INTO TREES. TOYOTA HIRED BOSCH TO HAVE THE "BLACK BOX" ANALYZED. THE COMPANY AND BOSCH CLAIM NO MALFUNCTION OF THE VEHICLE. OUR DAUGHTER CONTINUES TO DISPUTE THEIR CLAIMS AND WE HAVE LOST THE VEHICLE IN AN INSURANCE CLAIM TO AAA OF MISSOURI. IN ADDITIONAL WE HAVE LOST VALUE IN THE VEHICLE, WE ARE PAYING INSURANCE ACCIDENT PENALTIES AND LOST $1000 IN DEDUCTIBLES. WE CONTINUE TO DISPUTE TOYOTA AND BOSCH'S CLAIM THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. SINCE OUR ACCIDENT THERE HAS BEEN ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE OF "TIN WHISKERS" AS POTENTIAL CAUSE OF ELECTRONIC FAILURE. WE BELIEVE WE HAVE BEEN THE UNFORTUNATE VICTIMS OF TOYOTA NEGLIGENCE AND NEED TO REQUEST ASSISTANCE IN FIGHTING THIS ISSUE WITH TOYOTA. *TR
