I WANT TO LET SOMEONE KNOW ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN 2005 TO MY 1992 COROLLA. I WAS WAITING BEHIND ANOTHER CAR TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC. MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE. ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE FORWARD/ I IMMEDIATELY PUT MY OTHER FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND PUSHED AS HARD AS I COULD. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO STOP IT BEFORE I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. BUT IT TOOK EVERY BIT OF STRENGTH I HAD TO DO IT. I NEVER REPORTED IT BECAUSE I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING A NEW CAR WHICH I HAVE NOW. A 2005 COROLLA. I REPORTED IT TO TOYOTA WHEN I HEARD ABOUT ALL THE OTHER PROBLEMS BECAUSE I THOUGHT THEY SHOULD KNOW. THIS WAS A 1992 CAR. MY FOOT WAS NOT EVEN ON THE GAS PEDAL WHEN IT HAPPENED.
