Our 2000 chrysler concord shot out a parking spot when my husband started the car. Toyota isn't the only vehicle with this fault. Children nearby were just missed. The car brushed one teen. We never had any previous issues like this. The car sped out of the space, hit another car in the next section over which hit another car in the next section over- not next to- but parking sections apart. All three vehicles were significantly damaged. Daimlerchrysler denied any malfunction. We had financial loss as a result of this incident.
