Description of the problem | The latest incident was the 8th time this has occurred since purchased new in sept. 2012. After highway driving approached a traffic light and when brake applied car revved up and lurched forward. Since nothing stops this except turning off ignition this was done again and car restarted and no further incident. Contacted dealership and after having car there for 2 days was told no replication could be made. I contacted the toyota office in california and after more delays have not been given a rental. Car is still at dealership and the service manager said he is doing nothing until he hears from california that may approve super tech to look at car. Very dissatisfied with toyota dangerous situation and they are in deny mode until someone is seriously hurt or killed. Will never buy another toyota after this poor run around service on both coasts. |
