| Description of the problem | While coming to an intersection, i was braking. During the braking, the vehicle suddenly bolted (accelerated) ahead for a period of 5 seconds. (vehicle accelerated during braking process ) i continued to keep foot on brake, pressing with a lot more force. During the "incident", i was able to turn wheel sharply to the right, to avoid hitting a vehicle directly in front of me. Needless to say, i was very shaken, as was my 100% disabled husband, also in the front seat. We took vehicle to toyota dealer, on ebruary 10, 2010, (2, 766 total mileage) and 30 minutes of their time was given to my toyota. They checked it over, trying to find the problem. They said "they could not find a problem"., and sent me on my way. They gave me an "800" number to call, and our 2 phone calls to them, was a waste of time. They said they would send me arbitration papers, which i have not received. I don't see why i have to go to arbitration for them to fix my vehicle, when it is still under warranty. * they reset ecm/pcm test drove op code 895994 3/99. Checked ecu for dtc scan tool check dtc and operation. Hours 0. 50 dealer refuses to do more testing because toyota will not authorize it. I feel that my vehicle is "a death trap" and i will not drive it. In the meantime, i am still making monthly payments on it, and consider it a "dead horse payment" . |
