Description of the problem | Sunday after 2009 christmas, we went to church. As we pull into the church parking lot and getting ready to back in one of the parking lot and our car toyota tacoma accelerate all of sudden with rapid speed and slam into the rear bumper of another parked vehicle (honda accord). No one was hurt but our tacoma front bumper and honda's rear bumper was damaged. After that our truck brake light remain blinking and we can hear some clicking noise. We called police and reported the incident. We also left a note for honda's owner to call police for further claim to fix they bumper. The following monday, we took our truck to nearest toyota dealer (lakenorman toyota dealer over huntersville, nc) to have them check on our truck. The technician had to adjust something with brake and he told us that, the accident was likely caused by brake or gas pedal being stuck. I requested him to put that in writing and he was not willing to do so. We requested statefarm claim adjuster to file the claim to toyota's claim department and they sent letter. |
