For your information, I had a 2000 Toyota Avalon which I purchased new and was in excellent condition. The car had a power surge, which caused the car to go through a brick wall at a car wash in clinton, ms. Insurance company totaled the car. Since my car was idling at the time and no foot was on the accelerator I believe it was a computer glitch which caused the car to accelerate. I had no control over the car what so ever. I am being penalized for this. Toyota should be held responsible. I feel fortunate my wife and I were not killed or injured. Fortunately no one at the car wash was killed or injured. Please take action on the problem. It is not the accelerator, it is a computer problem. Your prompt action n this matter with Toyota will be greatly appreciated.
