| Description of the problem | My vehicle 2006 toyota avalon , since i had bought it has always accelerated so i would just slow it down (tapping on the brakes). I assumed this was normal since i did bring it to the dealership telling them. May 3, 2008 i was in a bad car accident on 75 north. At that time the vehicle accelerated and when i went to slow down the car it went into the guard rail and after that when i woke up my car splattered all over the freeway. I was fined by the police unable to control my car. Went to court to fight it and i had to pay $140. 00 plus they wanted me to pay for the damage on the freeway $3,000. 00. I had to be cut out of the car and my vehicle was totaled. |
