| Description of the problem | On january 2, 2010 at approximately 1:30 i was traveling north on route 146. The weather conditions were poor and i was traveling at approximately 50mph. My car continued to accelerate and when i proceeded to hit the brake pedal it skipped and my car did not slow down at all. I believe that partially the icy weather conditions were to blame but in my opinion a 2007 vehicles breaks should not skip on a regular basis and the gas pedal should always work properly. I have called the dealership several time namely balise and they have not returned any of my phone calls regarding the recent recall. I understand that the call volume on this issue is probably gigantic yet when a customer, especially one having issues with their vehicle should be prioritize. Due to this my vehicle sustained over $9,000 in damages and i have over $5,000 in medical bills. In this incident i hit a guard rail to avoid hitting other cars and my opinion it could have been much worse. I truly believe toyota are great vehicles and have always had a great reputation that is why i have only owned this make of vehicle. |
