NHTSA Complaint #10885191 — 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA

AT APPROX 11:30 PM ON JULY 15TH 2016, MY FIANC, MYSELF AND 2 OF OUR FRIENDS WERE HEADING HOME FROM DOWNTOWN MIAMI ON I-95. IT WAS RAINING EXTREMELY HARD, SO EVERYONE WAS GOING WELL BELOW THE SPEED LIMIT. I WOULD APPROX WE WERE GOING 35-40 MPH. THE CAR IN FRONT OF US SLAMMED ON HIS BREAKS DUE TO THE RAIN COMING DOWN EXTREMELY HARD, AND I PROCEEDED TO DO THE SAME. HOWEVER INSTEAD OF MY CAR BREAKING, IT BEGAN ACCELERATING 10-15MPH. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO CARS TO MY RIGHT AND I WAS ABLE TO VEER OUT OF THE WAY OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF US, OR ELSE WE WOULD OF BEEN IN A HORRIBLE CAR ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLY DEAD. AS EXPECTED, MY FIANC IS EXTREMELY SHOOKEN UP BY WHAT HAPPENED. I KNOW THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 2010 COROLLA AND I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN FOR ALL THE RECALLS AND INSPECTIONS BUT OBVIOUSLY THERE IS SOMETHING STILL WRONG WITH THE 2010 COROLLAS BECAUSE I ALMOST DIED TONIGHT DIE TO UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION
