| Driver's seat slides when i accelerate or stop. it occurs every time i drive the vehicle and i have taken it in to checkered flag toyota in virginia beach, va to have the problem fixed. it is obvious there is a problem with the track the seat sits on. the service technician asked the service adviser how heavy i was (i weigh 135lbs) and told her the problem could not be fixed, the entire seat would have to be replaced. checkered flag will not respond to my service requests. | |||

| Carpet is separating at the driver's side of the console near the accelerator pedal. toyota dealer said there was water damage that caused the carpet to shrink and separate. since i purchased the vehicle, i have never had water damage. there is no record of water damage in vehicle history. i was told carpet could not be fixed, however, the dealer did finally agree to fix the carpet and it has already come unglued. the dealer does not respond to my requests for service to correct the carpet sag. it is now sagging so much my right ankle touches it when i drive. | |||

| On september 28, 2009 my mother was driving her 2004 toyota solara and had an accident. the car jumped the curb, hit a tree, a lamp post, and crashed into a stone sign. she was taken to the hospital where they found a large bruise on her arm. the doctors sent her for a scan right away, but she had a stroke and never recovered. she died four days later. i realize that the current toyota accelerator recall does not involve the solara at this time, but our family is now suspicious. a cause of my mother's accident has not be determined. she died before the police were able to ask her about the accident. the car is still smashed up and has not been repaired. should we investigate this matter further? tw* updated 03/14/10 *bf | |||

| On 09/20/08 i drove my 2004 toyota solara to a greek festival on mountainview avenue in santa rosa. i was directed to park my car in the parking field. i accelerated slightly to go over a small bump and the motor roared out of control. i had to quickly throw it into another gear to kill the motor. when i restarted the car it seemed to be ok. it was a very frightening experience. on 9/22/08 i took it to the freeman toyota dealership in santa rosa. a representative took me out for a ride in my car and was unable to reproduce the problem with my car. they did not make out a report on the incident. no one at the dealership seemed very concerned. *tr | |||
