| The toyota corolla i bought at spinelli toyota in lachine, quebec, about 30 years ago also had sudden acceleration speed control problems. i complained about it several times but was told nothing was wrong. i bring this to your attention because i cannot have been the only one who experienced this, and i believe that an investigation will prove that the problem goes back many decades and the company knew about it. i want nothing, but think someone should be looking into this. date given below is approximate. *tr | |||
