| Description of the problem | I was driving into my garage and had just brake to let it ease in. My foot was still on the brake, when the car suddenly revved and lunged forward. The brake would not work, and it was as if the car had a mind of its own. It hit the crate that was in front of the wall, and forced a bike rack through the wall. The front bumper of my car was cracked in places. The car then stopped. So scary! I immediately called my dealership and was told they could not talk to me. I needed to call the corporation, which i did. After two months of waiting on a decision, i was told there is nothing wrong with my car, and that's that. I have since learned that there have been other incidents with toyotas just like mine. I am petrified to drive the car, and yet i am also afraid to pass it on to someone else. I don't want anyone hurt. I have called toyota, and they do not return my calls i am wondering what i can do. |
