| Description of the problem | My wife drives a 2007 toyota solara and was pulling into a parking space in anastasia plaza in st. Augustine, fl and was about to come to a stop a place the car in park when it accelerated over the tire stop, over the curb and through the glass windows and doors and into the sea oats restaurant. She is confident that she never touched the accelerator as her foot was already on the brake to bring the car to a stop and place in park. There were no prior symptoms of this unexpected acceleration. The air bags did not deploy. The car smashed into the lunch counter, which weighs approx. 2 tons) and pushed it 6 feet. There were rubber marks on the floor on the left side as though the front wheel was slipping as it pushed the counter (picture available). My wife contends that her foot was on the brake the whole time. I contacted toyota as well as my insurance company. Toyota did an inspection of the car on 6/7/2010. I am waiting on the results and expect to hear by 6/9/2010. |
