ON SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 2009, MY MOTHER WAS DRIVING MY 2006 TOYOTA AVALON WHEN SHE WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH DUE TO AN ACCELERATION PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. SHE WAS ALSO INVOLVED IN A CRASH IN MY GARAGE WHEN THE FLOOR MAT GOT STUCK ON THE ACCELERATOR AND CAUSE HER TO RUN INTO THE WALL OF THE GARAGE. I ALSO HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL INSTANCES OF ACCELERATION AFTER TAKING MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL WHEN ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE WHICH CAUSED ME TO HAVE TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE INSURANCE COMPANY DEEMED THE CAR A TOTAL LOSS AND IT WAS ONLY WHEN I RECEIVED THE SETTLEMENT PAPERS FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY DID I FIND OUT THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH THE AIRBAGS AS TOYOTA NEVER SENT ME ANY CORRESPONDENCE REGARDING THE PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAGS, THE FLOOR MATS OR THE ACCELERATOR. *TR
