VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
3 INSTANCES OF UNINTENDED ACCELERATION, THE LAST WHILE PARALLEL PARKING ON A BUSY SMALL TOWN STREET WITH PEDESTRIANS PRESENT. A SEVERE ACCIDENT THAT COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED PEDESTRIAN OR DRIVER INJURY WAS AVOIDED ONLY BY QUICK REFLEX APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES AND A SHIFT OF THE GEAR INTO NEUTRAL. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE ENTERING A MAJOR HIGHWAY VIA AN ACCESS ROAD.THE ENGINE SUDDENLY TOOK OFF AND RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION AFTER BRAKE APPLICATION AND A DOWNSHIFT TO NEUTRAL. THE THIRD EVENT OCCURRED OCCURRED A FEW WEEKS BEFORE THE FINAL EVENT, WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. UNINTENDED ACCELERATION SIMILAR TO THE OTHER TWO INCIDENTS LIKEWISE OCCURRED. AFTER THE FINAL INCIDENT, THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP WHERE ASSURANCES FROM THEIR ENGINEERS THAT THE CAR WAS " SAFE TO DRIVE" RANG HOLLOW, GIVEN THAT A NUMBER OF DEATHS CAUSED BY UNINTENDED TOYOTA ACCELERATION HAD BEEN REPORTED IN RECENT PREVIOUS YEARS. ALTHOUGH I DIDN'T RECORD SPECIFIC DATES WHEN THE INCIDENTS HAPPENED, THE FINAL ONE OCCURRED IN THE FALL OF '15 AND THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN ON THE ROAD SINCE FOR FEAR OF INJURY TO MYSELF, FAMILY OR OTHERS. AS THE CAR LEASE CONCLUDES ( THE MONTHLY PAYMENTS HAVE BEEN DUTIFULLY PAID SINCE THE FINAL INCIDENT) I WRITE THIS TO HAVE IT ON RECORD THAT I CONSIDER THE CAR TO BE UNSAFE AND THAT I WANT TOYOTA (GIVEN THEIR SEEMING LACK OF CONCERN ABOUT THE ORIGINAL COMPLAINT) TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE SHOULD THE CAR BE SIMPLY PASSED ON TO A NEW OWNER OR LESSEE AND ANOTHER UNINTENDED ACCELERATION OCCUR, CAUSING INJURY.

ENGINE
A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, I NOTICED A MUSTY SMELL COMING FROM MY CAR. I REALIZED THAT IT MAY BE DUE TO THE HEATING/COOLING VENTS, AND A QUICK SEARCH REVEALED THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS PART OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ON BEHALF OF TOYOTA CAMRY DRIVERS. I FEAR MY VEHICLE HAS THE SAME FAULTY SYSTEM. I REPLACED THE CABIN AIR FILTER AND SPRAYED OZIUM CLEANER INTO THE INTAKE, BUT THIS ONLY SOLVED THE PROBLEM FOR A FEW DAYS.

WHEELS
BUBBLE ON INSIDE OF RR TIRE, SUGGEST REPLACING 215-55-17 BRIDGESTONE POTENZA. WOLFCHASE TOYOTA MAY HAVE REPLACED TIRE ON RF OF CAR, NOT RR. I CAN ONLY PRESUME BUBBLE MAY STILL BE ON TIRES WHICH WERE SUPPOSEDLY ROTATED. ANOTHER DESCRIPTION ON FIRST PAGE OF OWNER'S RECEIPT STATES "C/R REPLACE TIRE THAT HAS A BUBBLE ON IT. REPLACED RIGHT FRONT TIRE." I CANNOT TELL WHICH TIRE WAS REPLACED, OR IF ANY WERE REPLACED. DRIVING WITH A BUBBLE ON A TIRE MAY CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I ONLY HAD 24.983 MILES ON THE TIRES, BUT WOLFCHASE TOYOTA REQUIRED FULL PURCHASE PRICE OF $211,15 FOR REPLACEMENT TIRE AND MISIDENTIFIED WHERE THEY REPLACED THE TIRE. WOLFCHASE PROVIDED NO ROAD HAZARD OR WARRANTY ON THE TIRE BECAUSE REP SAID I FAILED TO PURCHASE THIS COVERAGE WHEN THE CAR WAS NEW. I TOLD THE REP THAT I WAS NOT TOLD I NEEDED TO BUY THE COVERAGE WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR. BASED ON YOUR DATABASE, BRIDGESTONE HAS HAD BUBBLE PROBLEMS ON THEIR TIRES WHICH HAS CAUSED ACCIDENTS. WOLFCHASE TOYOTA FAILED TO SHOW ME THIS TIRE WITH A BUBBLE WHICH HAS BEEN A CUSTOMARY PRACTICE AT OTHER SERVICE PLACES THAT I'VE GONE TO.

WHEN I PURCHASED THIS CAR I NOTICED IT LOOKED DULL, AND REQUESTED THAT THEY WASH IT AGAIN, I WAS TOLD "OH IT A FLAT FINISH" ONCE I GOT ALL THE PAPER WORK, TAXES ETC COMPLETED I WOULD SEE OTHER VEHICLE & IT MADE ME HATE MY CAR, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO HAVE A NEWER CAR LOOKING WORST THEN A 15 YR OLD CAR. I'VE EVEN HAD IT BUFFED / WAXED, THAT COMPANY STATED "THE MANUFACTURE MAY HAVE MISSED THE CLEAR COST WHEN FINISHING THIS CAR". PLEASE ADVISE WHAT MY OPTION ARE.
