| Description of the problem | In march of 2015, while leaving my place of employment parking lot the floor mat apparently interfered with the accelerator pedal causing the car to speed up resulting in loss of control, hitting a fire hydrant head on. The car was totaled. After the car was totaled, i received a recall notice regarding this issue shortly afterwards. A letter from my insurance company indicated that i was not at fault at causing the accident but rather the accident was the result of one or more recalls with regard to braking concerns: in the letter my insurance company referenced a recall notice; nhtsa campaign number: 10v017000. I have contacted toyota regarding this matter; however m requests have gone unanswered or have been ignored. When my car was totaled my insurance paid the fair market value to the lender which ended up creating a deficiency. I'm struggling try to pay for another vehicle as well as paying the deficiency. |
