Consumer Description

UPON PARKING VEHICLE ACCELERATED WHEN THE BRAKE WAS APPLIED. I QUESTIONED MYSELF IF THE INCIDENT COULD HAVE BEEN OPERATOR RELATED. I WAS PROPELLED INTO A STEEL BARRIER THAT RESULTED IN DAMAGE TO THE FRONT BUMPER AND GRILL. LATER THAT DAY THE CAR ACCELERATED A SECOND TIME WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES WHILE PARKING THE VEHICLE. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS IN FRONT OF ME. NO ONE WAS HURT AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THIS SECOND INCIDENT HAS LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. TOYOTA INVESTIGATED THE INCIDENT AND IS EXPLAINING THAT MY FOOT WAS ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND BREAK AT THE SAME TIME WHICH IS JUST NOT TRUE. I CAN'T DRIVE THE VEHICLE OR SELL IT. I'M DISAPPOINTED AT THIS CAR COMPANY.
