What owners wrote

In august 2009 my 2002 toyota accelerated into reverse while backing out of my parking space causing a bad accident. I brought it to my toyota dealer. They told me nothing was wrong.

Reported at 57,000 miles, August 2009 Crash

At 1,500 miles the check engine light went on. I brought the car to the dealer on november 8, 2002 and was told that nothing was wrong with the car and they reset the computer. The car was fine until I arrived at home and the check engine light was on again. I brought the car to the dealer on november 11th and they said they didn't know what was wrong with the car. They were going to remove the transmission but needed a part.
