What owners wrote

I was pulling into a parking spot at work (california state university east bay in hayward ca) at approximately 5 MPH. I applied the brake pedal to stop the vehicle, but instead of stopping, it went over the curb, crossed the walkway, broke through and knocked over a large bush, rolled down an incline for 3-4 yards, and stopped when it struck a tree. I believe the incident appears similar to the current investigation under NHTSA action number dp14003.

Reported at 169,000 miles, September 2014 CrashInjury

I have owned my 2006 toyota corolla s with a 5-speed manual transmission since july 2006. In that time I have had approximately 5 incidences when the engine raced unexpectedly. This has always occurred when I had the clutch depressed and was braking. I have thought that my right foot, which I intended to be on the center of the brake pedal, was actually on the side of the brake pedal such that it simultaneously contacted the accelerator pedal.
