Consumer Description

THE CAR ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN, BRAKES WERE LOCKED !!! I MADE A LEFT TURN AFTER A STOP SIGN AND THE CAR JUST TOOK OFF ON IT'S OWN - ACCELERATING UP TO 50 MILES PER HOUR. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES, BUT THEY WERE LOCKED. I QUICKLY PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, IT SLOWED THE CAR DOWN ABOUT 10-12 MILES. TO AVOID CARS IN FRONT OF ME - I THEN PUT THE CAR IN PARK. AFTER AN UGLY NOISE AND JERKING OF THE CAR...IT DID STOP! THERE WERE NO INJURIES OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. IT WAS A HORRIFIC EXPERIENCE. THE CAR WAS IN FULL THROTTLE! HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC.....IT WAS STILL AT FULL THROTTLE WHEN HE LOOKED AT IT A COUPLE DAYS LATER. HE ADVISED ME TO CALL TOYOTA. TOYOTA SAID IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I JUST WANT MY CAR FIXED,
