Description of the problem | My toyota corolla has accelerated unexpectedly several times, generally when the temperature is around 32 degrees fahrenheit. The first time i noticed it, i rear-ended a pickup truck after a red light had turned green. The second time, i was backing out of a parking space and the car shot backwards 30' into a post (denting my bumper and breaking the rear drivers' side lights). The third time, nothing was broken - i was the only person on the road - but it scared the bejesus out of me. I called toyota to complain and they said that there is no recall on my car. My belief is that there are accelerator / electronics problems with the toyota corolla that they are not admitting. |
