## Narrative
The Toyota RAV4 2018 car acceleration went out of control and crashed into a retaining wall.  The airbags exploded and the steering wheel airbag burst.  The car was totaled and is with State Farm.  I was blessed to still be alive the car speed out of control on its own.  I tried to push on the brakes but the car kept going.  The accident could have been worse.  No one else was injured only another car was hit.  I did reach out to Toyota and they said it could take 4-6 weeks for someone to look at the car.  I reach out to the dealer and waiting to hear back from the dealer.  The police department issued me a ticket, I have court on July 23, 2021.  State Farm insurance declared the car a total loss. No warning lamps or messages.  The first same incident happened on April 3, 2021, and on June 12, 2021, was the day of the accident. The incident and accident happened at the same location.   I would like to speak with someone at your organization. The car is at State Farm's collision place. I would like for your organization to look at the car.  I will call to make sure that the car is still at the collision place.
