| Description of the problem | I was pulling out of the parking lot at bank of america in lithonia, ga and when i put the car in reverse, it accelerated and i couldn't stop it until it hit a light pole located behind the car. It was a loud impact but thank god my husband and i were not injured nor did we injure another person or their vehicle. It was only the grace of god that spared our lives because it was at 9:00 a. M. In the morning and a lot of people were coming in and out of the bank. I have had other episodes of acceleration which i reported to toyota in 2012 when i had the first accident which cost 12,000 in repairs. They inspected the vehicle at that time and stated that they couldn't find anything wrong. I did experience occasional episodes of acceleration after that inspection but no accidents until february 1, 2020. I purchased the car in 2012. |
