Description of the problem | The 2004 toyota camry se was driven about 25 miles on the freeway prior to the accident. I was parking in a hospital parking garage. My foot was on the brake as i was parking. The car was about 3 feet from a concrete wall, then the car accelerated forward. The car crashed, ruined the bumper and other parts beneath the fiberglass. I had a large bruise from the seatbelt and my 6 month old daughter was screaming in the back seat. I got us out of the car quickly, the car however was still trying the go forward into the wall since it was still in drive. I got back in and turned the car off. The police would not come and file a report since it was on private property, so we filed a report with the hospital's building security. The car was towed to a toyota collision shop and still remains there today. We have been waiting for toyota to come out and "inspect" the car and we cannot move or fix the car until they have their inspection. This was about a month ago. We have been getting nothing but the run around from toyota both at the dealership where we bought the car and from the national corporation of toyota. We will be seeking a lawyer. |
