VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TWICE NOW WHERE I TRY TO PASS SOMEONE ON INTERSTATE 79 NORTHBOUND FROM PITTSBURGH TO CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP PA AND PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND ONCE I GET TO SPEED THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR GOES TO 80 + PER HOUR BEFORE I CAN GET IT TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP. LUCKILY BOTH TIMES THERE WERE NO CARS IN FRONT OR BEHIND ME THAT I COULD GET CONTROL OF THE CAR. THE FIRST TIME I ENDED UP PUTTING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL TO GET CAR TO STOP. TODAY SIMILAR SITUATION EXCEPT I WAS ABLE TO PUMP THE BRAKES VERY HARD UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO RESPOND AND SLOW DOWN BACK TO THE CORRECT SPEED. I WAS ASKED BY TOYOTA IF THE MATS ON THE FLOOR WERE OBSTRUCTING THE PEDAL, AND THIS WASN'T THE CASE IN EITHER INSTANCE. WHEN I CALLED TOYOTA CORPORATE OFFICE THEY WERE REFERRING BACK TO MY DEALER TO RUN DIAGNOSTIC TEST WHICH WILL COST ME TO HAVE DONE. I HAD THIS IN FOR SERVICE THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED AD WAS TOLD THEY FOUND NOTHING AND THAT THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENED TO CALL SO THEY COULD HOOK UP TO A COMPUTER AND SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. TODAY WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER THEY WOULDN'T EVEN SCHEDULE MY CAR FOR SERVICE, GAVE ME CORPORATE TO CALL AND IF CORPORATE WANTED TO HAVE THE DEALER SERVICE THEY CAR THEY WOULD CALL THEM. I AM NOW WAITING ON THE DEALER TO CALL ME SO I CAN PAY TO HAVE THE CAR LOOKED AT TO TELL ME WHAT THEY MAY FIND. I PLANNED ON GIVING THIS CAR TO MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER FOR COLLEGE BUT I AM NOW CONCERNED WHAT SHE WILL ENCOUNTER AND WORRIED ABOUT HER SAFETY DRIVING IT.

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES FROM HOME, ON MY WAY TO TAKE MY CHILDREN TO SCHOOL. I MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN OFF THE STREET FROM MY NEIGHBORHOOD, UNTO THE SERVICE ROAD THAT LEADS TO THE RAMP FOR THE HIGHWAY ENTRANCE. AS I HEADED TOWARDS THE RAMP THAT ENTERS UNTO THE HIGHWAY, THE 2008 TOYOTA YARIS FELT LIKE IT SUDDENLY STARTED TO ACCELERATE. DESPITE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKES, THE CAR WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN. I SWERVED BACK UNTO THE SERVICE ROAD TO AVOID CONTINUING UNTO THE RAMP, IN FEAR THAT I WOULD CRASH INTO THE CARS ON THE HIGHWAY. TO AVOID HITTING ANY VEHICLES ON THE SERVICE ROAD, I MANAGED TO SWERVE THE VEHICLE OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ? WITH THE CAR FINALLY STOPPING WHEN IT CRASHED INTO A POLE. MY CHILDREN AND I SUFFERED SEAT BELT BRUISING AND CUTS. I WAS HOSPITALIZED FOR A FEW DAYS FOR HAND, FOOT, AND BACK INJURIES, AND STILL UNDER DOCTOR'S CARE FOR THE INJURIES. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOST. I HAVE MY SERVICE RECEIPTS REFLECTING THAT I KEPT UP WITH THE MAINTENANCE OF THE CAR. IN ADDITION, I HAD THE BRAKES SERVICED IN OCTOBER OF THE PREVIOUS YEAR...UPDATED 03/15/16 *BF.....UPDATED 03/31/16 *BF UPDATED 6/11/18*JB
