| Description of the problem | To whom it may concern: without hearing the news related to toyota vehicle recall, i have felt really stupid how i could have had the accident. Recalling the process of the accident, i might have to say it was weird. Before the crash, i clearly noticed the red light and a stopped car just in front of me on n perkins rd, close to mcelroy rd in stillwater, oklahoma, and the distance was more than 20 meters apart at that moment. I pressed on the brake pedal as usual, but my car did not slow down until hit the car before mine, and the airbag did not pop out. My face was knocked onto the steering wheel and one of my glasses smashed, fortunately not making me blind, and two teeth in mouth were bleeding along with some scratches on my face. The car was totaled at the speed of less 40 mi/h. People love toyota vehicles for the reason of saving gas at the sacrifice of safety. Shortly, the police and ambulance arrived. I declined any medical arrangement after being tested that my mind was under control and could make decision clearly because i was not sure whether my insurance covers the cost or not. And now, as the problem with toyota vehicles was disclosed, i feel my accident might also be due to the same gas pedal defect. (in stillwater, oklahoma, call: 405-372-4171 to request a report).
