## Narrative
Twice within one month my Corolla experienced Sudden Unintended Acceleration.   The first time I had just entered the parking lot of my local Star Market.    I stopped for a man in the crosswalk and was just about to ease off the break when I saw a woman approaching the crosswalk so I stayed on my break.   Suddenty the car revved up and went forward.   I think it was so loud the woman heard it and stopped.  My car returned to normal operation within maybe five seconds and as I drove by the woman, I yelled there was something wrong.    Went home and scheduled an appointment with Toyota.   It took a few days for them to check my car.   I think this type of issue brings in the next level up of repair.    I was told they went over everything and could find nothing wrong.   My car was safe to drive.   I drove it for exactly one month and it did the same thing.   This time I was inching my way into a parking space that was up against a wall.   Nowhere near the gas.   I was maybe a couple of feet from the wall when the car accelerated again.   The engine really revved up again and I went into the wall.   The car was drivable, and I got it right back to Toyota.    It is still sitting there pending investigation.  I am waiting to hear from someone from their liability department.    I'm not sure what will happen, but I know I will not drive that car again.  My biggest concern is that Toyota will claim I'm elderly and hit the gas, not the brake.   That is not what happened.
