“In april 2004, my Toyota Tercel accelerated from 05 to approximately 90mph in a parking lot, crashed into another vehicle and totaled my car. Another problem was the brake pedal. Even after changing to new brake pads, shoes, brake drums and rotors, the brake pedal still dropped low to the floor that it felt that I was pushing the floor when I brake. I had several acceleration incidents. Even when I pushed the brake pedal firmly and continuously, the car kept going. The acceleration problem and sticky brake pedal problems were never solved. I wrote the triple a/automobile club of so. …”
