What owners wrote
On september 28, 2009 my mother was driving her 2004 toyota solara and had an accident. The car jumped the curb, hit a tree, a lamp post, and crashed into a stone sign. She was taken to the hospital where they found a large bruise on her arm. The doctors sent her for a scan right away, but she had a stroke and never recovered. She died four days later. I realize that the current toyota accelerator recall does not involve the solara at this time, but our family is now suspicious.
