Narrative

The contact's daughter owns a 2025 Toyota Corolla. The contact stated while her daughter was driving at 60 MPH and switching lanes, the driver noticed a stopped truck on the road. The contact stated that the driver depressed the brake pedal to stop the vehicle, but the vehicle made an abnormal squealing sound, lurched forward, and failed to respond. The driver depressed the brake pedal with both feet, and the vehicle decelerated but failed to stop as needed, causing the front passenger's side of the vehicle to drive under the rear of the unoccupied truck and to crash into the truck. The air bags failed to deploy. The contact's daughter was able to exit the vehicle. The check engine warning light and other unknown warning lights were illuminated after the crash. The vehicle was reversed out of the rear of the truck and was driven to the driveway of the residence, where the engine failed. The contact stated that the vehicle had failed to start and was undrivable. The contact's daughter sustained whiplash, body soreness, lower back pain, a seat belt mark and bruises under the chest. The contact's daughter was later taken to the ER, where she underwent CT scans and X-Rays, but no further injuries were found. A police report was filed. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 500.
