Description of the problem | My daughter was attempting to park in her college parking lot at fgcu. She said , thinks the brake didn't work when she applied it. Car hit concrete wall to stop. Aaa tow truck driver came and said brakes went to floor and he had to use e-brake to put on truck. He states when he got back to garage brakes worked. I told toyota. They checked brakes out and said everything was working fine. I asked them to look at black box. They sent me results. I had my insurance co. Look at them along with toyota service adviser. Both said data shows gas applied before brake. I looked under car complaints. Other people had same problem. Some had automatic acceleration. I did not tell them to check that out because of statement from tow truck guy. She said it happened so fast she doesn't remember. The tin whiskering was a problem for toyota in the past. I believe that they have not fixed the problem. Can the data show if gas applied by driver or automatically came on? I have spoken to attorneys and no one seems to want to take this case. My daughter has back pain and other issues. As a parent i'm not sure what to do. Car has been repaired. It is a lease. ( nine months left to pay.) i would like to get her out of this car and get a new one. Any suggestions? Thank you mike. |
