I had a 2005 Toyota Corolla -- and two weeks ago, in a matter of seconds, it took off backwards and the vehicle has been declared totalled by the insurance company. It began as follows: In leaving a restaurant, I got into my car and backed out, very slowly -- and the next thing I knew, the engine started racing faster and faster, and drove backwards, went over a cement parking barrier, climbed a foot wooden wall, went up the small grassy hill onto a Dealership's lot and hit one of their cars, and that car hit another one. The gas pedal did its own thing and the brakes had no effect.. I was frazzled afterwards. The good news is, no one was hurt, for me it is a nagging neck/shoulder stiffness, but no one else was touched. My son would not let me buy another Toyota -- have gone to another maker..
