| I have a 2006 toyota solara, sle, 6 cyl. eng., automatic, sunroof. i was driving into a parking space at the mall, slowing down with my foot on the brake. as i pushed on the brake to park, it went to the floor, and my engine surged loudly, hitting the parked car in front of me about 9-12 feet out of it's space. i frantically turned my steering wheel to my left, jumped a curb, went through a few bushes and hit a tree which stopped my car. i turned my key off, placed it in park and threw my keys on to the passenger seat. this car caused the crash. i have never felt anything so strange as i could not stop this car with the brake. it happened in only about 4 seconds. i had the car towed to the dealer, as i didn't want to drive it. i feel it is unsafe to drive until it is fixed by toyota. i have never had any trouble with my car except some hesitation in moving fast into traffic. toyota sent an inspector to the dealership to check out the car on 8/17/10. i called to see what the results were and they sent a message by a secretary that nothing was abnormal and it was safe to drive. this car is not safe. i will not allow my insurance to pay for the physical damage until toyota fixes the brake/acceration problem. i am lucky that i, or someone else didn't get killed or hurt. next time it could be different. this crash was not my fault! if all the other cars had these problems, why do they feel the solara isn't included? maybe, this is the first of many solara's. i am disappointed that toyota doesn't respond to customer's better. all they have to do is fix it and it's over. i'm not so confident in any of their products as of now. i didn't realize so many people have the same story, they all can't be lieing! thank you for letting me send in this complaint. i'm sure i will have a fight on my hands. | |||
