THIS IS THE FOURTH INCIDENT, AND THE FOURTH TIME I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER WHO CANNOT FIND OR DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. I HIT THE BRAKES, AND INSTEAD OF SLOWING OR STOPPING THE CAR, THE CAR ACCELERATES. ONE TIME, IT DAMAGED A TIRE, THIS TIME IT HAPPENED WHILE MERGING ON A HIGHWAY AND NEARLY CAUSED A DANGEROUS COLLISION. THIS LAST INCIDENT, I WAS TRAVELING AROUND 30 MPH. THE TWO TIMES BEFORE, I HAD BEEN ATTEMPTING TO COME TO A STOP FROM 25-30 MPH, AND THE FIRST TIME I HAD BEEN TRAVELING BETWEEN 30-35 MPH WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO BREAK TO AVOID ANOTHER VEHICLE SWITCHING LANES. TOYOTA DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG.

TAKATA RECALL GPS NAVIGATION LOCATOR FOR ONSTAR OR ANYTHING TO LOCATE MY STOLEN CAR

TAKATA RECALL. THERE IS NO PART AVAILABLE TO FIX MY CAR. I REQUESTED A LOANER CAR AND WAS TOLD THAT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN ORLANDO WOULD TAKE MY 2009 SCION AND PARK IT IN AN "UNGUARDED UNFENCED LOT" WITH NO PROTECTION FROM THE EXTREME FL HEAT AND WEATHER. IN ADDITION, THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT START OR SERVICE THE MOTOR FOR APPROX. 6 MONTHS (WHEN THE PART "MIGHT" BE AVAILABLE). IF THE MOTOR/CAR IS DAMAGED, THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE NOT LIABLE FIX IT. IF THE CAR IS STOLEN, THEY ARE ALSO NOT LIABLE! THESE ARE UNACCEPTABLE CONDITIONS. TOYOTA IS NOT AUTHENTICALLY OFFERING A SOLUTION TO THIS LIFE THREATENING RECALL. FIRST, THERE IS NO PART AVAILABLE TO FIX IT! THEN, TOYOTA KNOWS THAT THE CONSUMER WILL NOT TAKE A LOANER UNDER THE CONDITIONS THAT THEIR PERSONAL VEHICLE WILL BE KEPT UNDER. IT'S A SCAM! WE THE CONSUMER ARE FORCED TO DRIVE CARS THAT HAVE RECALLS THAT KILLED SEVERAL PEOPLE BY METAL PROJECTILES SLICING THROATS AND CAUSING HEAD AND BRAIN INJURIES! WHY IS TOYOTA GETTING AWAY WITH THIS?
