NHTSA complaint: 2007 TOYOTA YARIS — STRUCTURE:BODY
ON 16 AUGUST, 2013, WHILE TURNING INTO A GARAGE PARKING SPOT I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR TO PRESS ON THE BRAKE TO COME TO FULL STOP BEFORE THE CONCRETE COLUMN AT THE END OF THE PARKING SPACE WHEN, OF ITS OWN ACCORD, THE CAR SUDDENLY LURCHED FORWARD AT MUCH ACCELERATED SPEED. THE CAR CRASHED INTO THE CONCRETE COLUMN DESTROYING THE FRONT LEFT HEAD LIGHTS, ENTIRE FRONT GRILL WORK, AND THE FRAME OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WAS BENT SO THE DOOR WOULD NOT BE OPENED. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. ON 20 AUGUST, 2013 MY INSURANCE COMPANY DEEMED THE CAR A TOTAL LOSS. *TR
