2010 Toyota Corolla VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

WHILE MERGING INTO THE LEFT LANE ON THE MEADOWBROOK PKWY., MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA WITH (8,300 MILES AT THE TIME), ACCELERATOR STUCK. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED. I PANICKED, LOOKED DOWN, AND SAW THE PEDAL STUCK ALL THE WAY DOWN. AFTER A FEW SECONDS I JAMMED ON THE BRAKES, & THE PEDAL RELEASED. I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS WAS DUE TO THE FLOOR MAT. MY MAT WAS NOT ON THE ACCELERATOR. THIS CAR FROM THE BEGINNING HAD "POOR PICK-UP". BY THAT, I MEAN IT WAS VERY SLOW WHILE TRYING TO MERGE ONTO PKWY'S TO THE POINT THAT I ALWAYS HAD TO FLOOR IT. I ALSO FROM TIME TO TIME HEARD A VERY SLIGHT CLICK WHILE STEPPING ON THE ACC. PEDAL. BUT FOR THE FIRST TIME, IT ACTUALLY STUCK ON ME. I OWNED A 2005 COROLLA BEFORE THIS CAR, & IT WAS NOTING LIKE THIS CURRENT CAR. I ALSO OWNED A 1999 CAMRY, & A 2003 4-RUNNER. UNTIL NOW, I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA DOWN THE ROAD. WHEN I BEGAN TO APPROACH A RED LIGHT AT INTERSECTION, I APPLIED BRAKES TO SLOW VEHICLE DOWN. INSTEAD OF SLOWING DOWN, HOWEVER, THE CAR BEGAN TO RAPIDLY ACCELERATE. THIS REQUIRED ME TO PASS TWO VEHICLES WAITING AT RED LIGHT IN ORDER TO AVOID COLLISION. REMEMBERING WHAT TOYOTA CO SAID TO DO WHEN THEIR VEHICLES ARE SPEEDING OUT OF CONTROL, I PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL AND CONTINUED TO APPLY BRAKES, WHICH HAD NO EFFECT WHATSOEVER. I CONTINUED TO SPEED DOWN DOUBLE-LINED ROAD, PASSING VEHICLES IN MY LANE. THEN WHEN OTHER VEHICLES WERE COMING IN OTHER LANE IN MY DIRECTION, I WAS FORCED TO SLAM FULL SPEED INTO VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME IN MY LANE. THIS CAUSED MY VEHICLE AND THAT VEHICLE TO ROLL OVER. WHEN MY FAMILY AND I HAD FIRST HEARD OF THE RECALLS WITH TOYOTA IN FEBRUARY OF 2010, WE IMMEDIATELY TOOK CAR TO TOYOTA DEALER IN FL WHERE WE VACATIONED FOR THE WINTER. WE WERE ASSURED THAT SINCE OUR VIN# INDICATED IT WAS JAPANESE-MADE, WE WERE NOT PART OF THE STICKING ACCELERATOR RECALL. THEY TOLD US TO REMOVE DRIVER-SIDE FLOORMAT ANYWAY, WHICH WE IMMEDIATELY DID. AS YOU CAN SEE, WE TOOK EVERY PRECAUTION POSSIBLE, AND AS MY CAR WAS CAREENING OUT OF CONTROL, I DID EVERYTHING I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO AND IT DID NOT MATTER. AND PLEASE DO NOT INSULT VICTIMS OF THESE TRAGEDIES BY INDICATING THAT IT IS POSSIBLY DRIVER ERROR. CLEARLY THERE IS SOMETHING MAJOR WRONG HERE AND THESE VEHICLES NEED TO BE TAKEN OFF THE ROAD. *TR

THIS OCCURRED WHILE MY FOOT WAS OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND WHILE IT WAS HOVERING OVER THE BRAKE PEDAL. I DID NOT PRESS THE BRAKES BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO COME TO A FULL STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF FAST MOVING TRAFFIC ON I-95. THIS EVENT OCCURRED A TOTAL OF THREE TIMES BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF THE CAR. THE SOUND THE CAR WAS MAKING WAS AS IF I WERE TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND FLOOR THE GAS PEDAL. I HAD NOT DONE ANY OF THIS DURING THE INCIDENT. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE FOR 10 MINUTES, AND I RESTARTED THE CAR. I SLOWLY MADE MY WAY TO MY PARENTS HOUSE NEARBY. *TR
