Description of the problem | This is the second time i am contacting you regarding a complaint with my 2010 corolla. I first called the nhtsa 800 number with this written complaint and was told i would receive a hard copy in two weeks (i have yet to receive it). So once again i am putting this complaint in writing, so i have proof that it was filed and sent. I hope that something gets done with it once and for all. The complaint is regarding toyota's new pedal recall part. It does not correct the acceleration problem. My car accelerated over 80 mph on feb. 12,2010. Toyota put in the recall pedal that morning after i brought the car there. On the way home from work on feb 12, the car exhibited more acceleration issues. That was when i called to report it with the nhtsa. The car then accelerated again on feb15 with the new"pedal recall in". I was driving up a long onramp onto the interstate at approx. 35-40 mph, and the car took off to over 80 mph. I was injured. I called again to your agency to report this on feb15th. I got the car back from toyota on feb 19th. They said "the car was fine. It is normal for corollas to accelerate to 80 mph". That is total bull! The car's pedal started sticking on sunday, february 21. This called more rpm & acceleration problems with the car. Also the brakes are going down to the floor. The car has gone thru a 5 way intersections stop light and a stop sign. I have had to use the emergency brake to stop the car. |
