| Description of the problem | I was in a slow lane of traffic going around a mail carrier. Suddenly, my car sped up, on its' own. I had to avoid the car in front of me and met about 4-5 cars head on. Thank goodness, the cars i was meeting pulled off the road and let me zoom thru. I probably took about 20 to 30 seconds for me to stop. As i started around the other cars i applied my brakes and they made a screeching sound but did not stop the car. I have no idea how fast my car went??? My car left no skid marks, i have a case number with toyota and was told to go to my toyota dealer which i did a week or so later after reading descriptions of the same thing happening to other toyota drivers. The service man showed me what to do in case that should happen again, indicating to me there has been a problem with other 2011 toyota's. |
