general problems of the 2001 Toyota Corolla

Entered freeway driving 2001 Toyota Corolla. Accelerated to 70 mph and while moving into the left-hand lane, gas pedal would not release and tried braking but they would not engage and steering wouldn't release. Went into the median and rolled over three times. Completely totaled the car and I was taken by ambulance to nearby hospital when I was evaluated and released. Have had 10 surgeries since accident including a total hip replacement and now a 3rd total knee replacement. I also suffered a concussion. Police documentation on traffic crash report verifies that gas pedal/brake not engaging was cause of accident.

2001 Toyota Corolla - regarding sudden surge. I have noticed on many occasions that my Corolla will surge forward(from a stop). I just equated it with the defroster turning on(ac pump). Maybe there is more to it?.

Vehicle gradually became less responsive to depression of the accelerator over a period of a couple months and has now died several times. It was not noticeable at first to the usual driver of the vehicle but was immediately noticed by another driver. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and they did not try very hard to fix the problem. It's currently, and has been for 2 months now, at a shop but still cannot determine the problem. It is unsafe in my opinion to drive in the city because of stop and go conditions and highway on-ramp necessities.

2001 Toyota Corolla would not stop was going backwards and crashed into house. Nov 12. 2009. I turned the engine off halfway through the travel from point a to point b.

Driver was trying to park the car, thus the car was travelling at very low speed. Car suddenly surged after the driver applied the brake. Car went over the cement tire stopper, up a small hill, hit a wall, and stopped. This cannot possibly have been caused by the driver hitting the accelerator pedal. This is a serious safety problem. We will contact the dealer and the manufacturer on July 16, 2001.

While backing out of a parking space consumer noticed a noise. Depressed brakes and noise got louder. Then vehicle acclerated, causing vehicle to run into wall. Consumer states that the acceleration took place while she was switching into drive from reverse, even though brake was pressed, vehicle continued to move, airbags deployed causing the windshield to break, consumer was slightly bruised and bumped due to deployment of the airbags.
