I WAS LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES FROM HOME, ON MY WAY TO TAKE MY CHILDREN TO SCHOOL.

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.

SOMETIMES IF I PUSHED HARD ON THE BRAKES, I WOULD FEEL A VIBRATION UNDER THE CAR, AND THE BRAKES WOULDN'T WORK PROPERLY. MY CAR IS COMPLETELY DESTROYED AND BOTH OF MY YOUNG CHILDREN WERE IN THE CAR WHEN IT HAPPENED. *TR

BRAKES LOCKED UP ON MY 2008 TOYOTA YARIUS AND IT SKIDDED ME 67' 9" INTO THE BACK END OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE SKID MARKS WERE SOLID. I HAVE HAD MECHANICS TELL ME THAT THE BRAKES LOCKED UP AND THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE AND IT WILL SPEED YOU UP, WHICH CAUSED ME TO HIT THIS VEHICLE NOT ONCE BUT TWICE. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH TOYOTA AND THEY SENT OUT A SUBJECT TO CHECK THE BRAKES, I THEN RECEIVED A LETTER STATING ALL THE TESTS ARE FINE. WELL MY INSURANCE COMPANY HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP WHO ADVISED THEM THAT YOU CAN NOT DO THE PROPER TEST, WITHOUT TOWING IT TO A CERTIFIED TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AND PUT IT ON THEIR COMPUTER. WELL I TRIED TO GET TOYOTA TO TELL ME IF THIS MAN PULLED UP IN HIS TRUCK AND PULLED OUT THIS COMPUTER, HOWEVER NOW TOYOTA WON'T TALK TO ME. MY INSURANCE HAS HAD ONE OF THEIR INSPECTORS TO COME AND LOOK OVER THE VEHICLE, WHICH HE EXPLAINED TO ME SINCE IT HAS BEEN SEVERAL MONTHS THAT THE BLACK BOX MAY HAVE LOST THE INFORMATION THAT IS STORED IN IT, I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM YET. I KNOW THIS WAS A VEHICLE MALFUNCTION, I FIRST CALLED TOYOTA TO FILE A COMPLAINT WHEN A TOYOTA SERVICE MANAGER ADVISED ME TO DO SO!! IN FACT THE TOYOTA REP WAS THE FIRST ONE TO ASK ME IF I WANTED COMPENSATED FOR THIS AND IF I COME UP WITH A FIGURE TO CALL HIM BACK WHICH I DID AND HE GAVE ME THE RUNAROUND. I WROTE A LETTER TO TOYOTA AND HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING ELSE FROM THEM. I KNOW FOR A FACT THIS WAS NOT MY FAULT, THIS WAS THE FIRST ACCIDENT I HAVE EVER HAD, AND ITS RUINED ME. I WORK TWO JOBS AND ALL I WANTED WAS A CAR I COULD TRUST, THIS WAS MY FOURTH TOYOTA AND IT WILL BE MY LAST. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE SKID MARKS, MY VEHICLE. I WAS SUED BY THE LADY I HIT LAWYER. I KNOW HOW I DRIVE AND I KNOW THAT THIS WASN'T MY FAULT, THE BRAKES MALFUNCTIONED AND THEY NEED TO ADMIT IT, AND TO TAKE CARE OF IT.
