Description of the problem | On july 25, 2009, i was driving my toyota camry (2004), i pulled into the parking lot where i work found a spot and proceeded to park as i turned in my car took off and slammed in to a cement pillar at a very high speed, i am so thankful that i hit the pillar, because i would have gone through the plate glass window of the shoe store. It could have been a tragic accident. I believe that this happened due to the car accelerating out of control. I sent a complaint to consumer affairs and toyota corp. On july 27th, 2009 with no response, now all of this is coming out. My car was repaired, at a cost of $6439. 57. My insurance has increased by about 40%, i now have a car i do not feel safe driving, and i can't sell it, because of the problems with toyota. I would like some help, answers to what toyota really is doing to help? |
