SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION ON AUGUST 25TH 2011 AT APPROXIMATELY 1:00 PM, MY DAD WAS DRIVING TO GARVEY RANCH PARK LOCATED AT (781 S ORANGE AVE, MONTEREY PARK, CA 91755) AS PART OF HIS DAILY ROUTINE. HE HAD ALREADY PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT AND WAS GETTING READY TO PARK HIS CAR FACING NORTH BOUND. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR ACCELERATED OUT OF NOWHERE AND HOPED THE PARKING CURB STILL FACING NORTHBOUND. IN ORDER TO AVOID ANY CASUALTIES AND PREVENT HITTING ANY OF THE CHILDREN NEAR THE PLAYGROUND, HE WAS ABLE TO STEER THE CAR AND MADE A U-TURN AT ABOUT 150 DEGREES. AT THIS POINT HE WAS FACING SOUTH BOUND OF THE PARKING LOT AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AT HIGH SPEEDS. HIS CAR THEN HOPPED THE CURB ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE PARKING LOT. ONCE THE CAR HOPPED THE PARKING CURB ON THE SOUTH SIDE, IT CONTINUED TO HOP OVER A COUPLE OF RAISED CONCRETE BLOCKS THAT DELINEATE A PATH ONTO THE HILLSIDE JUST SOUTH OF THE PARKING LOT. DUE TO THE STEEPNESS OF THE HILL, IT PREVENTED THE CAR FROM GOING ANY FURTHER AND THE CAR CRASHED IN BETWEEN TWO TREES LOCATED ON THE HILLSIDE. WE HAD ALREADY TAKEN THE CAR TO LONGO TOYOTA DUE TO THE ACCELERATION RECALL BACK ON MARCH 13 2010. I COULDN'T BELIEVE THE CAR STILL HAD MECHANICAL ISSUES AFTER WE HAD IT SERVICED IT FOR THE RECALL AND WAS GLAD THAT MY DAD DID NOT SUSTAIN A VERY SERIOUS INJURY. THE CAR IS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION IF AN NHTSA OFFICIAL WOULD LIKE TO INSPECT THE CAR. *TR
