Consumer Description

AS I SLOWLY PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE, THE HIGHLANDER SUDDENLY ACCELERATED QUICKLY, JUMPED THE CONCRETE PARKING STOP AND SLAMMED INTO A RETAINING WALL. IT HAPPENED VERY QUICKLY AND UNEXPECTED. I AM ORIGINAL OWNER. THE VEHICLE HAS 56000 MILES AND HAS BEEN SERVICED ONLY BY THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVABLE AND WAS TAKEN IMMEDIATELY TO THE DEALER FOR 2 DAYS TO INSPECT THE SYSTEMS. BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE, THE REPAIR SHOP GOT THE VEHICLE IN IMMEDIATELY AND ESTIMATE REPAIRS AT $10,000. I AM VERY FRIGHTENED OF THIS VEHICLE RIGHT NOW AS ANOTHER INCIDENT LIKE THIS COULD PRODUCE MUCH WORSE RESULTS.
