VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON 21 OCTOBER 2016 AT APPROXIMATELY 9:30 AM, I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WITH MY 2009 COROLLA. I WAS PARKING THE CAR IN THE PARKING LOT AT THE EMBASSY SUITES HOTEL IN NORMAN, OK WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. I REVERSED THE VEHICLE TO STRAIGHTEN IT UP IN IN A PARKING SPACE; THEN, I PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE TO PULL FORWARD. AS THE CAR STARTED TO ROLL FORWARD, IN AN INSTANT, THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE SELF -ACCELERATED TO FULL THROTTLE. WITH MY LEFT FOOT ON THE FOOT REST PEDAL (DEAD PEDAL) AND RIGHT FOOT FULLY DEPRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM FUNCTIONED PROPERLY MAKING AN AUDIBLE CLICKING SOUND AS THE CAR CONTINUED DARTING FORWARD AT FULL THROTTLE. WITH THE VEHICLE AT APPROXIMATELY A 30 DEGREE ANGLE TO THE CURB IN FRONT OF THE PARKING SPACE, THE FORWARD MOMENTUM OF THE VEHICLE WITH THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM FULLY ENGAGED, THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WHEEL BOUNCED OVER THE CURB, THE PASSENGER'S SIDE FRONT WHEEL STOPPED AGAINST THE CURB AND THE ENGINE SELF-DECELERATED. AS THE ENGINE DECELERATED, AN AUDIBLE CLICKING SOUND COULD BE HEARD COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT THAT STOPPED AS THE ENGINE RETURNED TO AN IDLE. I HAVE NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHAT CAUSED THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE TO SELF-ACCELERATE TO FULL THROTTLE, NOR CAN I EXPLAIN WHY IT SELF-DECELERATED BACK TO AN IDLE. POSSIBLY, THE VEHICLE HITTING THE CURB WITH THE DRIVER'S FRONT WHEEL AND BOUNCING OVER THE CURB COULD HAVE CAUSED THE ENGINE TO SELF-DECELERATE. THERE WAS NO PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE INVOLVED IN THE INCIDENT. HAD A PERSON BEEN WALKING IN FRONT OF MY CAR IN THE PARKING LOT DURING THE SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION EVENT, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED IF NOT KILLED. THE FOWLER TOYOTA DEALERSHIP OF NORMAN, OK EVALUATED THE VEHICLE AND CONCLUDED THE INCIDENT WAS CAUSED BY MISAPPLICATION OF PEDAL. AN EDR WAS DOWNLOADED, EVALUATED AND INCONCLUSIVE.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS NOTIFIED ABOUT MY VEHICLE'S AIRBAG RECALL SOMETIME IN EARLY JANUARY. IT IS NOW MAY 23, 2017 AND THEY HAVE YET TO CONTACT ME ABOUT THE REMEDY. IT HAS BEEN OVER FIVE MONTHS AND THEY HAVE NOT CONCLUDED A FIX TO THE AIRBAGS ON MY PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. IT IS TRUTHFULLY, UNBELIEVABLE THAT THEY HAVE YET TO FIND A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO PUT SOMEONE IN MY PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR AND WILL NOT PUT THEIR LIFE AT RISK BUT FIVE MONTHS IS MORE THAN ENOUGH TIME TO FIGURE OUT A SOLUTION. I CHECKED THE WEBSITE AND IT PREDICTS THAT THE REMEDY WILL BE AVAILABLE IN DECEMBER OF 2017. I THINK THIS IS INEXCUSABLE TO ALLOW HAPPEN. GRANTED, I DO UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS NOT THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG, BUT BEING A COLLEGE STUDENT AND HAVING TO TRANSPORT PEOPLE FOR MY JOB, IT PUTS THEM AT RISK. THANK YOU FOR READING MY CONCERN.

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY
I HAD A VEHICLE ACCIDENT ON 5/11/17 OF WHICH CAUSED A PERSONAL HEAD INJURY LACERATION DUE TO NONE OF MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYING INSIDE OF MY VEHICLE WHEN THEY SHOULD HAVE. IT ADVISES THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE FOR THIS BACK IN 2014 FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAGS AND THERE IS NO INFORMATION STATING THAT THIS RECALL HAD BEEN DONE ON MY VEHICLE FROM THE DEALERSHIP OR TOTAL LOSS RECORDS FROM MY INSURANCE COMPANY. I HAVE ATTACHED 3 PICTURES OF THE DAMAGE DONE TO MY VEHICLE, AS WELL AS A PICTURE SHOWING NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYING IN THE VEHICLE. ANY INFORMATION/DOCUMENTS NEEDED FOR THIS PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO ASK.
