| Description of the problem | I owned a 2006 toyota avalon. While driving on mountain road, as i rounded a curve, my car seemed to surge. A dog crossed in front of me as i came into the curve. I slammed on brakes and could not get car to stop i spun out of control and hit the bank on every corner of car as well as head on. Car finally came to rest about 150 yards from where i began braking. I was shaken up but not hurt. I am now convinced my gas pedal stuck or something electronically happened. My husband asked me what happened and i told him i honestly could not explain what happened. My vehicle was a total loss and my insurance paid; however, i purchased a 2007 avalon and i am extremely nervous living here in the mountains and driving this car. I don't have vin or mileage handy but can get info from my insurance agent if necessary. |
