I HAVE A 1982 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CAR HAD A DEFECT IN THE ACCELERATION PEDAL CAUSING IT TO GO OUT OF CONTROL. THE ONLY WAY I COULD GET IT TO STOP WAS TO SMASH INTO A CURB ON THE PROPERTY OF A SENIOR HALL. I SUSTAINED AN INJURY AND THE CAR IS TOTALED. IT IS IN MY SHED CURRENTLY. IN THE HOSPITAL, I WAS VISITED BY AN OFFICER, WHO ACCUSED ME OF STEPPING ON THE BRAKE INSTEAD OF THE ACCELERATED PEDAL. HE SUBMITTED THIS TO THE DMV. *TR

I AM NOT LOOKING FOR DAMAGES AND HAD NEVER OFFICIALLY REPORTED THIS, BUT ABOUT 23 YEARS AGO I BOUGHT A NEW TOYOTA COROLLA THAT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED UP TO 90-100 MPH LIKE RESENT COMPLAINTS ABOUT TOYOTA VEHICLES ARE DOING. IN SPITE OF STANDING ON THE BRAKE, TRYING TO GET THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND PUTTING MY TOE UNDERNEATH THE GAS PEDAL TO SEE IF IT WAS STUCK I WAS IN DANGER OF RUNNING UNDER THE REAR OF A SEMI.

IN 1991, DRIVING ON HWY 5 IN CAL, SUDDEN MY CAR TACKED OUT, ACCELERATING BEYOND ANYTHING I'VE EXPERIENCE. THIS CAR IS BEFORE THE CURRENT RECALL. I BRING THIS UP, BECAUSE, AT THE TIME, I KNEW IT WAS NOT THE PEDAL. IT SEEMED TO ME AT THE TIME THAT IT WAS IN THE WIRING OR COMPUTER. I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, IT COMPLETELY TACKED OUT, RISKING THAT IT WOULD THROW A ROD. THEN I TURNED THE KEY, AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AS I DRIFTED OFF THE HIGHWAY. PLEASE DON'T LET TOYOTA GET AWAY WITH SAYING THIS IS JUST PEDALS, IT WAS NOT FOR ME. *TR
