| Description of the problem | On 9/20/15 while reversing out of a parking space at the south windsor public library, i depressed the accelerator lightly and the car surged backwards into very tight circles. I took my foot off the accelerator and pressed on the brakes and tried to put the car in park. After almost 2 rotations the car hit one curb and then another and after that i was finally able to put the car in park, all the while with my foot on the brake. My vehicle was towed to a local toyota dealer and i contacted my insurance company. The insurance company reviewed my claim and has issued me a check to have the vehicle front end and undercarriage damages repaired. I have asked the toyota dealership if the vehicle is safe to drive and they referred me to toyota national. Toyota sent out an independent evaluator who evaluated the vehicle and then sent me a flash drive with the event data recorder results. However no summary report or narrative was provided, so i do not know if the vehicle is safe to drive. I called toyota back and they informed me that it is up to me to find someone to interpret the results. |
