Description of the problem | As i was pulling into a parking space and applying the brakes, the car unexpectedly accelerated and hit the building wall. Since i was puzzled by what happened, i read several articles about toyota automobiles doing just this same thing. Most of the articles covered toyota automobiles older than mine, i did find several recent reports, including two that involved 2015 highlander models just like mine. I plan to also notify the manufacturer, toyota. |
