I was driving my daughter and her 2 friends to gwinnett fairground today around 7:50 pm . As I approached a turning lane just before davis road, the car accelerated and hit the truck in front of me. I tried to hit the brake but the speed was too much and the car wouldn't stop until it hit the truck. Thankfully, everyone in the car was fine and we alighted the car without any injury. As a result, the entire front bumper, the front of the care was damaged which affected the driver side front side of the door. Toyota corporation need to recall 2013 toyota for engine problem related to unintended acceleration.
2013 toyota corolla. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle accelerated on its own. *smd the consumer stated there was some damage to his/her house and car.
Was trying to reverse and all of sudden the car just turns off ..driving on the freeway and the accelerator is taking for ever to pick up this all stared from the day I bought it I call in right away and they told me that I was not able to take the car back.
In the past year this car has exhibited multiple occurrences (52 documented) of delayed acceleration from 1 to 3 seconds when pressing on the accelerator pedal. I have tried to get toyota to acknowledge and repair the problem unsuccessfully as the car has been covered under original warranty throughout this time. Multiple drivers have attested to the defect. In ncds arbitration toyota claimed pauses were due to the "traction control" or "electronic vehicle stability control" kicking in and reducing power to the wheels. This couldn't be the case as in none of the incidents did the instrument panel lights which come on when those features activate light up. Most of the incidents occurred on dry, asphalt, and straight roads and non-hurried driving. This problem is a safety hazard as it occurs intermittently and random without warning.
2013 toyota corolla. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle sudden surge problems. *smd the consumer stated as she slowly pulled into a parking space, she took her foot off the accelerator and let the vehicle coast slowly into the parking space, before applying the brake, the vehicle suddenly surged forward into a snow bank. The consumer was unable to get the vehicle out of the snow bank, when she put the vehicle in reverse. Once the she got help, she noticed the bumper had broken off and the driver's side fender was detached from the vehicle at the seam.
Speed control disengages and decelerates rapidly without warning on highway upgrades at approximately 65 MPH. This model is a manual 5 speed. When the dealer was contacted, their service manager responded that they had received several similar complaints on this model, but that toyota had not provided any updated program to correct the problem at this time. The deceleration is not a slowing based on weight, but a total disengagement of the control, which is likely to result in a rear-end collision from behind should any vehicle, regardless of size, be following at even a recommended distance. This has happened in this vehicle on 4 occasions, and from what the dealership acknowledged is a chronic problem, inherent to the 2013 toyota corolla and other models that share the same program.
