“2015 Toyota Corolla accelerated on it;s own when slowing down on brake to turn into my driveway. I was scared from it and had no control and took my foot off the brake and pumped it and stopped the car before it crashed into the brick wall. I never had this issue before and hopefully, never again. My car is at 54k in miles and I was going at 10 MPH.”

NHTSA complaint #10714791, filed 2015-05, 4,950 miles“Computer is sending false codes. Car won't accelerate from a stop then eventually starts moving very slowly. Unhooking the battery then hooking it back up does a hard reset on the computer which makes the car work properly for a day or so then it does it again. Was told by mechanic the computer doesn't know what gear the car is in.”
NHTSA complaint #11120000, filed 2018-08, 74,000 miles“This is an enterprise rental vehicle which, for the second time, accelerated on its own. I was backing out of a parking space, gear in reverse and foot on the brake pedal but not applying the brake yet when the vehicle suddenly accelerated in reverse. I immediately applied the brake and the vehicle stopped after several feet. There was nothing behind the vehicle so nothing was damaged.”
