I want to let someone know about what happened in 2005 to my 1992 corolla. I was waiting behind another car to pull out into traffic. My foot was on the brake. All of a sudden my car began to accelerate forward/ I immediately put my other foot on the brake and pushed as hard as I could. Luckily I was able to stop it before I hit the car in front of me. But it took every bit of strength I had to do it. I never reported it because I was in the process of getting a new car which I have now. A 2005 corolla. I reported it to toyota when I heard about all the other problems because I thought they should know. This was a 1992 car. My foot was not even on the gas pedal when it happened. I never heard a response from toyota.

What 1992 Toyota Corolla owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
I own a 92 toyota corolla. On thursday 31 december 2009 my engine caught fire. There was a defect in the starter on my car and when I went to turn the ignition to turn on my car I immediately smelled the heat and saw smoke under the hood. I got out of the car and opened the hood and witnessed that the engine was on fire. I put out the fire. It was later determined that the starter overheated and that's what caused fire.
Paint is peeling. Also has headliner falling down
Driver's side shouler belt becomes fraid and starts to unravel. This seems to be occurring on other corrollas with this restraint system. (92's have two belts; a lap belt and a shoulder belt) is there a retro- fit available? This problem seems very dangerous. Please advise. Thank you.
