WAS PARKING CAR IN AN UNDERGROUND PARKING GARAGE, PULLED INTO PARKING STALL, ALMOST COMPLETELY STOPPED WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY LUNGED FORWARD OVER A CEMENT CURB, AND CRASHED INTO THE CEMENT WALL WHICH WAS ONLY ABOUT TWO FEET IN FRONT OF THE CAR. FORTUNATELY, I WAS WEARING MY SEAT BELT. THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY AS THE CAR WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY STOPPED WHEN INCIDENT HAPPENED. THE WALL WAS JUST SCRATCHED, BUT THE SHOPPING CART STORED ON THE CURB SECTION IN FRONT OF MY STALL WAS SMASHED.

THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE TOYOTA DEALER AND WE ARE WAITING FOR AN ADJUSTOR TO MAKE A DETERMINATION. THIS CAR WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. IF THIS WERE JUST A FAULTY BRAKE PROBLEM, THE CAR WOULD HAVE BEEN STOPPED COMPLETELY WHEN IT HIT THE CURB INSTEAD OF JUMPING UP OVER THE CURB AND CRASHING INTO THE WALL. THE FIRST THING THAT I CHECKED WAS TO MAKE SURE THAT MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE, AND IT WAS. *TR UPDATED IVOQ 07/13/10 UPDATED IVOQ 07/22/10.*JB *TR THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA, STATING THEY WERE CLOSING HER FILE.

NO ACCIDENT WAS CAUSED AND SHE SAFELY PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE AND CALLED ME. I WENT THERE AND TRIED TO START THE CAR 2X'S. EACH TIME IT STARTED, IT RACED TO 4000 RPM AND CUT OUT. I WAITED 15 MINUTES AND STARTED THE CAR AGAIN. THE COMPUTER TAKES 15 MIN TO RESET AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HER CAR TO TOYOTA AT 20 MPH IN LIMP MODE. IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE THROTTLE BODY MALFUNCTIONED. I HAVE THE SERVICE INVOICE FROM BOTH INCIDENTS. ON APRIL 17 2010, THE SHE STARTED DRIVING HER CAR AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. SHE WAS CLOSE TO HOME AND WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR HOME SAFELY AT THE REDUCED SPEED AGAIN. AND PARKED IT. APRIL 19,2005, I STARTED THE CAR AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE CAR WORKED FINE.

I DROVE OVER A BRIDGE AND AT THE CREST IT WAS ONLY DOING 10 MPH. THERE WAS NO THROTTLE CONTROL AT ALL. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THE THROTTLE BODY WAS AGAIN BROKE.
