“On sunday, april 7th, I was traveling westbound on the southern state parkway at exactly fifty-five MPH and exited at exit 17n. The exit ramp there is sloped uphill and parallels taylor road. There is a stop sign at the end of that ramp at hempstead avenue. Just as I was coming to the end of that ramp at very slow speed and almost to that sign, the engine suddenly sped up with extreme acceleration and the car lurched forward. …”

The car start to accelerate with the gas pedal nearly on the floor, the problem was that the vehicle accelerate too slow and at an instant it did it too fast (full throttle).”
NHTSA complaint #10703991, filed 2015-04, 112,000 miles“I had my foot on brake and was putting into reverse to back into a parking space when suddenly it lurched forward and hit an escalade that was parked about one foot in front of me. It totaled my car and her car. It was so sudden I don't know if it went into reverse or not. I believe the only thing that stopped me was the impact with SUV. This was reported to Toyota, I am waiting for an inspection of vechicle.”
