On 2/21/13 I was pulling into a parking space in a hospital underground garage. I was about 3 feet from a concrete wall when I suddenly accelerated hitting the wall. I had my seat belt on. The airbag was deployed hitting me in the face. The entire front end of the vehicle was destroyed,. I was extracted from the vehicle by the fire dept. And ems and taken by ambulance to the hospital emergency room. There x-rays of my spine were taken. I had no spinal fractures so I was discharged a few hours later. I suffered severe headaches and body aches for 3 weeks. My glasses were bent out of shape from the airbag hitting them. The vehicle was not drivable and was towed to the body shop. I picked up the car on 3/13/13 after multiple repairs were done including replacing the front bumpers, headlights, airbag, seatbelt, pulling the frame back into correct position etc. This cost $6200. On 3/14/13, after a call to the Toyota home office. I met an engineer at Toyota of nashua where he underwent an inspection of the black box and a check of the recording of the airbag ecu. The 6 page report that he gave me indicated that no data was recovered and no events had occurred. I am puzzled how that can be as the airbag was deployed. I am now left with a vehicle that was in perfect shape before the crash and has now lost a great deal of the trade in value. I am afraid to drive it because no one can tell me that the vehicle is safe and will not undergo another unintended acceleration as I experienced on 2/21. At the time of the crash, I dropped my cell phone and when I retrieved it from the floor mat I noticed that the floor mat was not hindering the accelerator and was perfectly flat. Coincidently, on 3/7/13, I was notified that my car is enrolled in a class action suit against Toyota etcs being defective which may cause unintended acceleration.

My wife was driving our 2007 Toyota Yaris and was exiting the freeway. She let off the gas pedal to coast down the ramp to where the traffic was stopped. Suddenly the car accelerated on its own. She swerved to avoid rear ending the row of stopped cars in front of her and attempted to go between the 2 lanes of cars on the ramp. She clipped a truck and the car turned over on its right side, causing severe damage to the Yaris. My wife was taken to the hospital with thankfully only minor injuries. My wife and I believe this is an occurrence of the well known Toyota 'sudden acceleration' problem, even though this model is not on their recall list.
