Description of the problem	Already have a case number, reported on 1/22/2010. I had a horrible accident in may of 2007 where the pedal became stuck and the car accelerated and i was unable to get the brakes to work. I hit another vehicle. While driving backwards out of a parking space in a grocery store parking lot. I have had to pay extra insurance premiums every six months and have that accident on my record. The fl hwy patrol officer said the accident was due to brake failure. One of the witnesses was an off-duty lake county sheriff's officer said he heard the acceleration and could not believe that someone was accelerating in the parking lot of a publix supermarket. I would like to know what toyota is going to do to help car owners who have had accidents to correct their driving records and to contact insurance companies to help the insured to recoup extra monies paid because the car has bad equipment, which toyota should have recalled long ago..
