“On 03/29/20 I was backing into a parking space in a restaurant parking lot when I pressed on the accelerator the car took off like a rocket ship and I hit a truck. This is my 1st accident. It happened so fast but I immediately took my foot off the accelerator and both feet were on the floor and both hands on the wheel after I felt the acceleration. Toyota is denying my claim.. Can you review?”
NHTSA complaint #11329918, filed 2020-06, 104,000 miles“When I reversed from a parking space the car accelerated so rapidly I couldn't control the speed. I had to slam on the brake as hard as I could! Tried to return to parking spot. The car continued to accelerate it jumped the curb and was stopped by trees!! Absolutely terrifying!!”
NHTSA complaint #10990746, filed 2017-05, 180,000 miles“I was trying to park my vehicle, suddenly gas pedal got stuck and I hit another vehicle and ran in to the bushes, my car has a body damage and also I accidentally hit another car as well. The core reason for this issue is gas pedal getting locked, this is the first time I experience this in the vehicle which I bought by 2011.”
NHTSA complaint #10643934, filed 2014-10, 93,500 miles“I was entering my parking spot.

NHTSA complaint #10453470, filed 2012-03, 18,450 miles“Pulling into parking spot I stepped on the accelerator, the engine hesitated, then the car accelerated on its own, crashed into guard rail - no other vehicles or persons involved.
